Transnational organizations and practitioners who use sport for
international development often position sport as a unique option
for tackling development challenges. While sport can be a tool for
social change, the authors in this collection bring a critical eye
to this assumption and offer new perspectives on the use of sport
for development and peace (SDP) in local and global contexts. The
book seeks to generate new dialogues and explore linkages for
development and SDP researchers through considerations of sport’s
potential to challenge and/or perpetuate key global issues and
problems. These analyses consider the SDP work done ‘on the
ground’ and interrogate the historical, social and political
circumstances of these practices. The authors explore how best to
examine, theorize, critique and potentially improve local SDP
initiatives. This book will be of great interest to students and
researchers of both Development Studies and Sport. It was
originally published as a special issue of the online journal Third
World Thematics.

Sports, Society, and Technology: Bodies, Practices, and Knowledge
Production addresses the complex entanglements of science,
technology, and sporting cultures. The collection explores themes
around human and non-human actants, knowledge formations and
processes, and the materiality and multiplicity of bodies through
an engagement with the interdisciplinary fields of Sport Studies
and Science and Technology Studies. Representing a range of
methodological, theoretical, and disciplinary approaches,
contributors interrogate the social, cultural, political, and
historical intersections of an ever-expanding techno-scientific
sporting landscape - from true bounce and brain trauma to exercise
physiology, metrics, and esports, and from feminist technoscience,
whey protein, and epigenetics to sickle cell screening and
testosterone regulation.
