Originally published in 2014 and edited by Jennifer Hargreaves and Eric Anderson, the Routledge Handbook of Sport, Gender and Sexuality comprises 53 chapters penned by 68 internationally renowned sport scholars. According to our reviewer Benjamin Moreland, this perennial handbook is a vital contribution to the academic conversations surrounding gender and sexuality and a foundational read for scholars and students alike.

The International Journal of the History of Sport is the world’s leading sport history academic periodical with fully-refereed global coverage of the subject.

Playing for Change: The Continuing Struggle for Sport and Recreation, edited by Russell Field (University of Toronto Press) is an homage, albeit in a very low-keyed, Canadian sort of way, to Bruce Kidd, athlete, activist and scholar. In his review for idrottsforum.org, Alan Bairner is very pleased with what he reads; however, he is unable to find in this book about struggle a discussion of gender and sexuality.

Daniel Svensson has read License to Jump!: A Story of Women’s Ski Jumping, edited by Marit Stub Nybelius and Annette R. Hofmann (Beijbom Books), and he found much to merit a thorough study of this pioneer effort. The field of sex, gender, and sports has been considerably enriched by this case study of the disruption of male domination in sports.
