Race and Antiracism in Sport for Development

The Sociology for Sport Journal has issued a call for papers for its special issue entitled “A Critical Examination of Race and Antiracism in the Sport for Development Field: Reimagining and Recreating Spaces for True Racial Inclusion and Equity.”

• history of race, racism, and intersectionality in Sport for Development
• the existence, structure, functioning, and impact of Sport for Development in diverse spaces and across global contexts
• practices for igniting positive change in for Development practice, policy, and research
