As the topic of diversity, equity, and inclusion continues to be of
growing importance across all businesses, Diversity, Equity, and
Inclusion in Sport provides a comprehensive examination of DEI
issues across the sport industry. This text's emphasis on
application and critical thinking will guide students in developing
their ability to effectively lead sport organizations of all kinds
with vision and compassion. With a diverse team of contributors
representing a variety of unique perspectives, this text aligns
with the Commission on Sport Management Accreditation (COSMA)
Common Professional Component content area of diversity issues in
sport management. Organized into three parts, Diversity, Equity,
and Inclusion in Sport aims to clearly illustrate how to make a
true impact in sport settings. Part I delivers foundational
knowledge of what diversity, equity, and inclusion mean within
sport organizations, including how power and privilege play out in
sport organizations to include some and exclude others. Students
will develop the skills associated with appreciating and having
conversations about differences and learn how understandings about
difference affect policy development and decision-making. Part II
further develops understanding of diversity, equity, and inclusion
through comprehensive coverage of critical areas of diversity that
have an impact on the sport industry, including social class and
economic status, gender and gender identity, race and ethnicity,
disability, political influence and affiliation, religion, and age.
Part III is designed to empower sport professionals to become
leaders, providing actionable advice on promoting and successfully
implementing best practices. Students will learn about connecting
difficult conversations to leadership, planning strategically,
assessing organizational climate, and using sport as a platform for
social change. Each chapter opens with a real-life scenario
introducing the chapter's topic and closes with exercises to prompt
critical thinking about the issues raised. Sport Industry Leader
Profiles provide interviews with leading professionals for
practical, informed opinions on the issues presented. Sport
Industry Diversity Initiative sidebars feature organizational
approaches to DEI issues. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Sport
addresses the key areas and challenges surrounding DEI in the sport
industry and examines the role of sport in effecting social change.
With practical application skills on incorporating knowledge into
decision-making, current and future professionals alike will be
prepared to lead sport businesses as diverse, equitable, and
inclusive environments.
