CFP: Special Issue of the Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics (JIIA)

CALL FOR PAPERS

Special Issue of the Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics (JIIA)

“Images of Intercollegiate Athletics and Intellectual Inquiry”

Publication date: July 2009

· Guest Editors: Drs. C. Keith Harrison (University of Central Florida) & Chad McEvoy (Illinois State University)

The special issue of the Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics “Images of Intercollegiate Athletics and Intellectual Inquiry” seeks to extend the literature on education, athletics, policy, and cultural issues in 21st Century higher education. The College Sport Research Institute (CSRI) is pleased to sponsor the Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics (JIIA), a peer-reviewed, scholarly, open-access journal dedicated to encouraging, supporting, and disseminating interdisciplinary and interuniversity collaborative college-sport research. As the College Sport Research Institute’s official journal, JIIA is dedicated to critically examining ethical, social, economic, and political issues surrounding college sport in the United States and providing readers with thought-provoking editorials, research articles, and reviews.

Research indicates intercollegiate athletics not only impacts college athletes’ educational achievement, but also colors public perception and policy development. Within this setting, this special issue hopes to gather submissions from various methodological approaches (qualitative, quantitative, historical, or comparative), ideologies, conceptual frameworks, and levels of analysis into a cross-disciplinary college-sport mosaic. While submissions should offer a theoretical approach to the chosen college-sport issue, they should also attempt to offer practical recommendations for addressing the specific issue.

Manuscripts should follow the guidelines in the Publication of the American Psychological Association (5th Edition), and should be prepared in accordance with the Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics requirements. Manuscripts must not be submitted to another journal while under review by the JIIA, nor should they have been previously published. Manuscripts will be subject to a triple-blind review. Manuscripts should be submitted no later than May 15, 2009 via email to:
