This call for papers also explores the critical dimension of freedom of speech as it intersects with the realms of sport and warfare, particularly within the Global South context. This theme encourages a deep dive into how freedom of expression is navigated, contested, and manifested within sports during war and peace. We invite submissions of individual articles of up to 10,000 words that investigate the complex relationship between sport and war from the Global South perspective.
