We are particularly interested in work that has an intersectional lens and draws on examples from the Global South, Inter-Asian communities and/or Pacifica, or that focus on the experiences of Indigenous athletes globally. We seek work that reflects how policy development and decision-making across elite, recreational, and community settings influence the experiences of transgender and non-binary athletes.
