A People’s History of Sport in Canada aims to inject new histories into the narrative arc of Canadian sport history. Motivated by Azoulay’s (2019:289) notion of “potential history”, it “strives to retrieve, reconstruct, and give an account of diverse worlds.” Informed by intersectionality and a focus on the community level, this special issue will highlight sport as a social and cultural practice. The articles will explore the sport, recreation, and play experiences of the peoples of Canada in a way that reflects class, gender, ability, racial, and geographic diversity and intersections.

Noemi Steuerwald is completing her PhD in history while conducting interdisciplinary research across history, literature, and animal-human studies. Her PhD thesis focuses on the cultural and gender history of equestrian sport, examining how gender difference is constructed and reproduced in a discipline where physical differences do not disadvantage women.

Det vitenskapelige arbeidet må dreie seg om barn i norsk idrett i tida etter 1970. Barneidrettens plass i det norske samfunnet er et underbelyst tema i idrettshistorien. Norges idrettsforbund (NIF)s ulike og reviderte barneidrettsbestemmelser i perioden fra 1976-2027, og særforbundenes og særkretsenes tilknyttede retningslinjer for sin barneidrett, trenger å bli behandlet i sin helhet, og i en bredere samfunnskontekst. Også historisk orienterte studier av barneidrett og konkurransearenaer utenfor den organiserte rammen av NIF, kan tenkes i dette PH.D.-arbeidet.
