Call for Papers | “Race, Racism, and Anti-Racism in and through Sport Management Research”, Special Issue of the Journal of Sport Management | Call ends September 30, 2026
Contributions to this Special Issue will help further define and establish relevant theory and analytic frameworks that guide the explicit acknowledgement and study of race, racism, and anti-racism within the field of sport management. Through the exploration of these concepts, we challenge authors who submit to the Special Issue to heed to Wendy Frisby’s call for more critical social science (CSS) organizational research in the field and consider theories on race, racism, and related critical paradigms/frameworks (e.g., critical race theory, CRT, and its various extensions).
Call for Papers | “Null Results in Sport Management Research”, Special Issue of the Journal of Sport Management | Call ends January 1, 2027
This special issue arrives at an opportune moment for sport management. While other established fields—including management, psychology, finance, and information technology—have published null results special issues, this represents the first such effort in sport management. Therefore, we are making a special call for manuscripts with null results. This will allow purposeful review of research with null results that are most likely to provide important context for sport management scholars to calibrate theory and uncertainty over results in the literature.
