This special issue of IJHS will explore historical factors that have made the Winter Olympic Games unique, special, or different from both summer sport festivals and other winter festivals. Moving beyond sport-specific histories, which abound for the sports of skiing and ice hockey, this special issue will consider the variety – and expanding list – of sports on the Winter Olympic Games program.

This special issue will approach the field of history of fantasy sport in a broad sense. While fundamentally historical, it will also be interdisciplinary in nature, welcoming work by scholars of sport in related disciplines, including, but not limited to, communication studies, journalism, media studies, sport management, philosophy, American studies, and law.

While brief histories of fantasy sport have appeared in print, little research has been done into the conditions of possibility—the historical, economic, political, and social forces—that spurred its emergence and growth. To address this omission, IJHS will publish a special issue dedicated to original and nuanced genealogies of fantasy sport that will approach the field of history in a broad sense.

Oral history is not an easy thing to do. It is time-consuming, methodologically rigorous and its practice and dissemination have wide-ranging legal implications. The editors of the special issue, Mike Cronin and Carly Adams, are looking for articles that engage with the methodologies and challenges of oral history in a sports history setting.

Situated within the broader topic of “apartheid sport,” the issue’s focus falls on the global nature of anti-apartheid sport movements in solidarity with southern Africa. As editors of this special issue, we encourage new ways to understand South Africa’s global history and welcome the submission of papers on apartheid sport from a range of historical, anthropological, methodological and/or thematic perspectives.
