CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue of the Journal of Sport Management
“Race and Ethnicity”
Research suggests that psychological, sociological, and economic rudiments of race and ethnicity often influence individuals’ sport attitudes, interests, identity, behaviors, experiences, and thus, their overall involvement in sport. As such, there is a need to have theoretical and applied knowledge concerning developing, promoting, delivering, and managing sport in a manner that is reflective of, and responsive to the racially and ethnically diverse stakeholders served (e.g., athletes/participants, coaches, administrators, spectators, media, corporate partners).
The special issue of the Journal of Sport Management on “Race and Ethnicity” seeks to address the dearth of research and critical analyses concerning race and ethnicity within the sport management literature. It is the intent of this special issue to provide a collection of research and critical analyses on race and ethnicity in sport and, thus, serve as a basis for future sport management research by providing foundations and insights for investigating the permeations of race and ethnicity within sport.
Submissions from various epistemologies, methodologies, (qualitative, quantitative, historical, or comparative), ideologies, conceptual frameworks, and levels of analysis are welcome. Submissions should illuminate the unique dynamics that influence sport involvement of stakeholders who are People of Color (i.e., those of African, Asian, Pacific Island, Native American, and Hispanic ancestry), other racial and ethnic minorities, and those who are racially and ethnically disenfranchised throughout the
world (e.g., Aborigines of Australia, Blacks in South Africa). Lastly, submissions should offer insight into the manner in which sport management practices (e.g., administration, human resources management, organizational theory, student-athlete development, employee satisfaction, leadership, event management, marketing, sponsorship, consumer behavior, promotions, communications) should respond to matters of race and ethnicity.
Manuscripts should follow the guidelines in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th Edition), and should be prepared in accordance with the Journal of Sport Management “Instruction to Authors” (http://www.humankinetics.com/JSM/journalAbout.cfm). Manuscripts must not be submitted to another journal while they are under review by the Journal of Sport Management nor should they have been previously published. Manuscripts will be subject to a triple blind review.
Manuscripts should be submitted no later than February 1, 2009 via e-mail to the Guest Editor:

Sport is a complex phenomenon, and sport research must build on diversity of
scientific approaches. The ECSS ‘09 Congress programme will feature
theoretical, applied and cross-disciplinary sport studies as well as
research findings based on the natural, behavioural, social and human
scientific disciplines.
Social Programme
The social programme will consist of an Opening Reception in the Oslo City Hall on
