Sport sociology has a responsibility to engage critically with the
accepted wisdom of those who govern and promote sport. This
challenging collection of international research is a clear call
for enacting the transformation of sport. The contributing authors
argue that it is not enough to merely advocate for change. Rather,
they insist that scholars need to take an active political stance
when conducting research with the explicit purpose of attempting to
transform the practices, structures, and the ways in which
knowledge is produced about sport. By exposing and challenging the
power relations which perpetuate discrimination and inequality
within sport, it becomes possible to catalyse wider societal
changes. Drawing on a diversity of topics including sport for
development and peace, transnational feminism, disability sport,
refugees and football activism, FIFA, the Olympics, sports
journalism and digital sports media, this book makes a case for
sport sociology as an agent of positive change in the hierarchies
and institutional structures of contemporary sport. Transforming
Sport: Knowledges, Practices, Structures provides valuable insights
for all students and scholars interested in the sociology of sport
and its transformative potential.
