An important contribution to the field, bringing together history, embodiment, and personal experiences in a rare way
The release of Social Justice Through Sport and Exercise Psychology, edited by Leslee Fisher (Routledge) comes at a moment when discussions around equity, inclusion, and the politics of participation in sport feel more urgent than ever. This book exposes the regressive tendencies within sport that harm, exclude, and silence, but also offers voices that illustrate how social justice is lived, embodied, and continually negotiated within sporting and academic spaces.
