Do we need another collection of sociology of sport articles? Our reviewer thinks so.
The Oxford Handbook of Sport and Society, edited by Lawrence A, Wenner (Oxford UP), features leading international scholars’ assessments of scholarly inquiry about sport and society. Divided into six sections, chapters consider dominant issues within key areas, approaches featured in inquiry, and debates needing resolution. Our reviewer is Richards Giulianotti, who edited the Sage four volume set The Sociology of Sport in 2012, and he finds that this new collection, some unnecessary omissions notwithstanding, is a welcome addition to the existing list of handbooks in the field.
Constructive collaboration brings together particularities into a comprehensive body of knowledge
Sport and physical activity are embedded in our education systems and in wider society. Education in Sport and Physical Activity: Future Directions and Global Perspectives, edited by Karen Petry & Johan de Jong (Routledge) takes the broadest possible look at this topic. In his clever review, Joacim Andersson finds that when scholars reach a point where their paths intersect, they sit down and listen to one another, and that stories that don’t really connect just need someone (or occasionally 47 scholars) to open a gallery for them.
