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”.

Sport scholars have consistently advocated for more diverse and inclusive sport organizations, but identity-related inequities and injustices continue to prevail in sport organizations and sport management classrooms as well. Hence, in addition to calls for more diversity, it is important to advocate for inclusion and social justice efforts. Cunningham (2014) argued that all sport management academicians have “a stake in ensuring sport is inclusive and socially just”.

This edited collection aims to provide a comprehensive multidisciplinary overview of athlete activism. While athletes as ‘activists’ – broadly defined – is not necessarily a new area of study, it has commanded a significant range of both scholarly and media attention in recent years. High-profile figures from across elite sport have lent their voices in an attempt to influence a variety of social, political, ethical and/or environmental issues.

Fodboldspillere, trænere og dommere. Det er blot nogle af de mere end 8.000 respondenter, der har besvaret et spørgeskema om diversitet i dansk breddefodbold. Og spørgsmålene er sendt ud til alle medlemmer af dansk fodbold, når det kommer til alder, niveau og geografi. Det er første gang nogensinde, at man kortlægger diversiteten i en specifik sportsgren i Danmark. Resultaterne er nu klar.

The purpose of this special issue is to illustrate projects embracing concepts of diversity, equity, and infusion of multiple intersecting identity experiences of sport, performance, and exercise science populations. The special issue will allow for a more harmonious sport science set-up with collaborations fostering acceptance and inclusion to promote global cultural progress.

This special issue provides a platform to share findings from empirical research (including quantitative, qualitative, intervention, or community-based studies), theoretical papers, educational articles, research notes and critical essays. Analyses of aquatic sport, water safety education policy and practices from diverse theoretical and methodological perspectives are encouraged.

The Beyond Coaching Conference invites abstract submissions from various sport backgrounds that consider, but are not limited, to the unique challenges, barriers, and solutions for minority groups, as well as those with mental and physical health challenges. Submissions will be accepted with a deadline of July 19th, 2017.

White men dominate high profile events and industry publications. It is becoming increasingly evident via social media platforms that there is discomfort around the prominence of all male panels and conferences whether academic or corporate. Papers in this special issue will help to inform research and teaching to foster internationally-focused and socially responsible graduates.

The purpose of the book is to bring together and to compare theoretical and empirical analyses of gendered leadership practices in sport governance and organizations in differing cultural contexts. Such a comprehensive analysis may broaden insights, expand current theorizing and enable new knowledges to emerge.
