This special issue aims to address this gap by highlighting the contributions of feminist thinkers whose influential writings continue to shape the philosophy of sport or hold future promise through their direct engagement with it. Although these scholars are no longer active, their insights remain vital to ongoing discussions about gender, embodiment, ethics, competition, and power in sport. We invite submissions that critically engage with the contributions of feminist thinkers, highlighting their impact on the philosophy of sport and/or exploring how their ideas can shape current and future discussions in the field.

The International Association for the Philosophy of Sport (IAPS) is committed to stimulate, encourage, and promote research, scholarship,  and teaching in the philosophy of sport and related practices. It publishes the Journal of the Philosophy of Sport, which is widely acknowledged as the most respected medium for communicating contemporary philosophic thought with regard to sport. IAPS members are found all over the world and constitute a growing and vibrant  international community of scholars and teachers.

Abstracts are welcome on any area of philosophy of sport (broadly construed), including metaphysics, epistemology, aesthetics, and ethics, and from any theoretical approach, including analytic philosophy and critical theory. While IAPS recognizes, values, and encourages interdisciplinary approaches and methodologies, acceptance is contingent on the philosophical content of the project. Emerging scholars are encouraged to submit works in progress.

This special issue aims to identify and address the fundamental ethical issues related to animal sports and games. It seeks to address whether humans are at all justified in using and involving animals for their sporting and recreational purposes, should the acceptance of animals in these activities be unconstrained, or ought limits to be set on sporting use. What are the duties owed to animals before, during, and after their use in sport? This special issue invites the submission of papers on this topic.
