Call for Papers | “The Transnational Athlete”, Special Issue of International Journal of the History of Sport. Call ends December 12, 2022
The aims of this special issue are twofold: (1) to understand the consequences of citizenship hopping on broader citizenship rights; and (2) to situate the transnational athlete in the contested terrain of global labour migration. Historical case studies of the targeted responses by nations to the transnational athlete will allow for a deeper understanding of the narrative power of sport to dictate broader social movements for self-determination, national identity, and citizenship rights.
