        Critical Issues in Sport and Society

        [supapress 404 "Not Found"]

        Critical Issues in Sport and Society features scholarly books that help expand our understanding of the myriad ways in which sport is intertwined with social life in the contemporary world. Using the tools of various scholarly disciplines, including sociology, anthropology, history, media studies and others, books in this new series investigate the growing impact of sport and sports-related activities on various aspects of social life as well as key developments and changes in the sporting world and emerging sporting practices. Series authors produce groundbreaking research that brings empirical and applied work together with cultural critique and historical perspectives written in an engaging, accessible format.

        Examples of appropriate topics include:

        • Examinations of new and emerging sports such as mixed martial arts or roller derby
        • Analyses of drug or steroid use in major sports at either the professional or amateur level
        • Studies of the effect of statutes such as Title IX on the structure of collegiate sports as well as the broader social impacts of such transformations
        • Treatments of sport as a site for reproduction or contestation of various forms of social inequality
        • Empirical investigations into sport’s relation to health, obesity, and wellness
