Ethnography has become an important method for researching and
interpreting the social world, not least in the field of sport and
exercise studies. Ethnographies in Sport and Exercise Research is
the first book to provide a contemporary overview of the current
state of ethnographic research and its application within sport and
exercise, introducing and explaining a range of well-established
and emerging ethnographic approaches. Featuring a heavyweight
line-up of sport and exercise researchers, the book is divided into
three parts. The first considers the methodological and theoretical
aspects of ethnographic research, including: a history of
ethnography in sport and exercise research the definition of the
ethnographic field methods of gathering ethnographic data methods
of representing ethnographic research. In the second part of the
book, a series of chapter-length case studies, spanning sports from
boxing to fell running and themes from gender to fandom,
demonstrate the challenges and rewards of ethnographic research in
the context of sport and exercise, helping students and researchers
to develop a solid understanding of qualitative research at both a
theoretical and a practical level. The final part of the book
considers future directions for ethnographic research, including an
evaluation of its place in the expanding field of study in sport
management. A comprehensive assessment of the statement of
ethnographic research in sport, Ethnographies in Sport and Exercise
Research is invaluable reading for any research methods course
taken as part of a degree programme in sport and exercise, and a
useful reference for all active researchers.
