Call for Papers | “Sport and Discrimination in Times of Change“, Special Collection for Cogent Social Sciences: Sport and Discrimination Journal | Call ends September 12, 2025
We are particularly interested in how social change affects the structures, practices, and cultures of sport—and conversely, how sport contributes to or resists social transformation. This includes change within sport (e.g., policy shifts, organisational reforms, or evolving norms), change through sport (e.g., activist interventions, grassroots movements), and change outside sport (e.g., broader societal shifts) that impacts the sporting realm. Discrimination, marginalisation, and exclusion remain persistent challenges, but they are also being confronted in new and creative ways that merit rigorous scholarly attention.
