Et udpluk af undersøgelsens konklusioner er blandt andet, at 90 procent føler sig godt behandlet i deres fodboldklub, mens 86 procent oplever, at der er plads til alle. Derudover er 18 procent af alle trænere kvinder, mens der er kommet flere kvinder på de politiske poster, hvor de nu står for 20 procent. Det er en stigning fra 16 procent siden den seneste diversitetskortlægning, der blev gennemført i 2019 og offentliggjort i 2020.

By focusing on the under-researched area of workforce diversity among British sports journalists, this project will (1) provide new and much needed insights into the levels of diversity and inclusion (or lack thereof) at all levels of the industry, (2) explore the challenges and opportunities that sports journalists from minority groups encounter within the industry, and (3) provide insight into senior managers’ understandings of the current state of play.

Over the last year, the Sports Media Identity Network has been working with a range of academics and sports media professionals to identify best practice and recommendations for sports media practitioners, researchers and stakeholders. At this event, which will be held at Northumbria University, London on January 19, 2024, we will be sharing those findings and the resulting recommendations as outlined in our draft report.

Scholars, researchers, students and professionals interested in the sociocultural study of the modern Olympic and Paralympic Games are invited to submit abstracts for conterence presentations. Papers in the areas of history, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, political science, cultural studies and sport management, as well as other disciplines that contribute to the cultural understanding of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, are particularly encouraged. Proposals for thematic sessions are also invited.

The conference is a student-driven event targeting traditionally underrepresented undergraduate and graduate students (e.g. students of color, LGBTIQ students, students with disabilities) and early career professionals interested in careers in applied sport, exercise, and performance psychology. Through a variety of discussions, presentations, and networking opportunities, the conference provides a space for open dialogue around diversity and social justice issues in applied sport and exercise settings.

Today sport is a significant social arena through which we can study the evolvement of societal diversity, along with the challenges that follow suit. This special issue turns attention to such diversity in both the role sports may play in the lives of migrants and their descendants, but also to a variety in their societal reception, including political strategies as well as civic responses that shape options for migrants’ sports participation.

The objective of this IJSMS special issue is to bring together scholarship that seeks to advance our collective knowledge on diversity and inclusion in sport marketing. We acknowledge that diversity may include a myriad of characteristics that distinguish individuals and groups of people. However, this special edition focuses on diversity as it pertains to the following equity seeking groups: Race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, physical ability.

The seminar wants to bring together scholars from all kinds of disciplines as well as practitioners that share the interest in the media-based communication of sport. Consequently, submissions may be rooted also in sports politics, sports economy, sports management, sports technology, sports sociology, and sports practice itself. In the seminar, we strive to include a diversity of theoretical and methodical approaches to sports communication and give voice to researchers from all parts of Europe.

The sport science research environment includes some 15 researchers as well as an almost equal number of research students. The research is primarily within the humanities and the social sciences, and in regard to research conducted at the department, sport is considered to be a multi-dimensional, societal and cultural phenomenon and includes physical activity, physical education (PE), exercise and sport performance. This also include research on elite sport.

There is a group of researchers at the Department of Primary and Secondary Teacher Education who have specialized in the field of embodied learning, and who therefore are involved in research projects focusing on embodied learning at different levels (pre-school, elementary and secondary school, and higher education). The Ph.D. student will also be a member of the research group “Body, Learning and Diversity”.
