  • Rights proofing and performative acts

    Open Access•D Mcgillivray, Callum McCloskey•ARTICLE•Soccer and Society•2026

    The European governing body, UEFA, was the first football federation to include human rights clauses for the host as part of its bidding process for EURO 2024 in Germany. The tournament produced of a Human Rights Declaration which clarified the event owner and private event organizer responsibilities to respect human rights in all processes and operations. We draw on theories of institutional logics, isomorphic pressures and Ahmed’s critique of p…

  • Institutionalizing human rights in sports mega events

    Open Access•Callum McCloskey, D Mcgillivray et al.•ARTICLE•Soccer and Society•2026•Referencias: 10

    The North American 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup (FWC) is the first tournament in which human rights policies and plans have been in place for the awarding body and host nation from the bid stage. This paper examines the FWC human rights governance arrangements, through an analysis of strategic documents, observations of three host cities, and semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders. Drawing on institutional theory, we argue that human right…

  • Strategic Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Messaging Through Sport Events

    Open Access•D Mcgillivray, Nasreen Akhtar et al.•ARTICLE•Communication & Sport•2025•Referencias: 3

    The literature on sport event leveraging suggests that these events can play an important role in addressing social inequities when planned carefully and utilizing the media to promote key messages. However, relatively little is known about how effectively sport event organizers and their partners make use of social media platforms to achieve these ambitions and what dominant discourses are perpetuated in the process. Drawing on a case study of t…

  • Eventful policies, public spaces and neoliberal citizenship

    Open Access•Séverin Guillard, D Mcgillivray•ARTICLE•Cities•2022•Referencias: 42

    Over the last three decades, festivals and events staged in public spaces have been an important element in the neoliberal regeneration of cities. However, so-called festivalisation strategies have been subject to criticism for their focus on economic imperatives to the detriment of the lives of urban residents. In many cities of the Global North, in particular, these debates have been accompanied by increasing calls for forms of urban governance…

  • We tried to get rid of the stereotype’

    Trudie Walters, D Mcgillivray et al.•ARTICLE•Leisure Studies•2022•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 29

    Multicultural festivals are more than a form of leisure and entertainment for the general public – they are often used as tools to educate the wider population about the culture of ethnic minority groups, promoting understanding and increasing tolerance of diversity. It has been argued that the ways in which multicultural events are represented in the media may help to resist and/or overcome negative stereotypes. Media narratives both construct a…

  • Distributed digital capital

    Open Access•D Mcgillivray, James Mahon•ARTICLE•Media Practice and Education•2021

    In this paper, we focus on young people's use of digital platforms, within the context of a ‘live’ digital media project. The study draws on Bourdieu's notion of social practices and explores unevenness in the possession of digital capital by young people. We use a live digital media project and draw on a (digital) participatory action research approach to explore the extent of distributed digital capital in evidence with a group of young people …

  • Festivals, public space and cultural inclusion

    Brandy Quinn, Bernadette Quinn et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Sustainable Tourism•2021

    This paper investigates if and how cities conceive of festivals staged in outdoor public space as a means of achieving cultural inclusion policy objectives. The inclusion of culture in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) creates an imperative for cities to scrutinize their approaches to making their cities inclusive. Festivals offer potential in this regard and this study examines the ways that Barcelona, Dublin, Glasgow, Gothenburg and L…

    In this article we draw upon three case studies of American cities bidding to host the Summer Olympic Games to explore the role media, particularly new media, plays in the formation of anti-bid protest movements. Using data gathered from in-depth interviews with leaders of several activist campaigns and a content analysis of related websites and social media accounts, the paper demonstrates the increasing role new media plays in enabling resistan…

  • Walking methodologies, digital platforms and the interrogation of Olympic spaces

    Michael B Duignan, D Mcgillivray•ARTICLE•Tourism Geographies•2021•Citada por: 12•Referencias: 32

    Mega-sport events (MSEs) target, sequestrate and territorialise a 'host' (city – or nation) to exist, sustain themselves, survive and deliver on organisational objectives. Yet, little systematic and empirical evidence examines such urban processes, specifically in real-time during 'live staging' periods, including related implications for host community inclusion (and exclusion). In this article, we present the #RioZones project; a series of phys…

    Open Access•Oluwaseyi Aina, D Mcgillivray et al.•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Sports and Active…•2021•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 47

    Recently, there has been growing concern about the lack of intentionality of mega sport event (MSE) organisers in ensuring that child rights are adequately respected, protected and promoted before, during, and after the events take place. In the context of the summer Olympic Games, reported child rights infringements have been on the rise, both in relation to abuse in sport itself and the negative consequences associated with planning and deliver…

  • Urban Connective Action

    Open Access•D Mcgillivray, Séverin Guillard et al.•ARTICLE•Urban Planning•2020

    In the past decade, significant transformations have influenced the governance of urban public spaces. There has also been a growth in new public spheres associated with digital media networks, informing and influencing the production and regulation of urban space. In this article, we explore the role of digital and social media as a form of connective action supporting public campaigns about the privatisation and erosion of public space in the S…

  • Repurposing the (Super)Crip

    Open Access•D Mcgillivray, Hugh O’donnell et al.•ARTICLE•Communication & Sport•2019•Citada por: 11•Referencias: 9

    Mega-events attract ever larger media audiences, and the 2016 Rio Paralympics were no exception. As audiences grow, media coverage extends to ever more varied domains, which are themselves then colonised by an increasing range of discourses. One of main discourses to develop since the early 2000s has been that of the so-called supercrip, one which challenges the notion of “impairment” often connected with disability by foregrounding the para-athl…

  • Mega sport events and spatial management

    D Mcgillivray, Michael B Duignan et al.•ARTICLE•Annals of Leisure Research•2019•Citada por: 8•Referencias: 8

    Hosting the Olympic Games demands the efficient and effective sequestration of public space across the city to stage official sports, cultural, and commercial activities. Specifically, this paper examines how fast-tracked urban development processes create exclusive, commercial enclaves to maximize leverageable benefits for external actors. We focus on the case of Rio 2016, drawing on: (i) observations across the city and event zones, including L…

    In this conceptual article, the authors propose a framework for how progressive human rights outcomes may be obtained in the context of bidding, planning and implementing major sport events (MSEs) through the implementation of four pathways, including good governance, the democratic participation of stakeholders, the formalisation of human rights agendas and the deployment of sensitive urban development. The authors argue that there is a need for…

    We investigate the live staging spatial-organisational requirements of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, exploring the extent to which the project sequestrated, territorialised and commodified public space. Relatedly, we examine the role of new legal, regulatory and securitised event conditions in affording an effective and efficient ‘Olympic takeover’. We do this by drawing on i) official Rio 2016 planning documents, ii) observations of the live Olymp…

    D Mcgillivray, G Mcpherson et al.•ARTICLE•Urban Geography•2017•Citada por: 4•Referencias: 7

    Major sporting events for athletes with disabilities have become part of a strategic agenda to create positive social legacies for those typically marginalized in their communities. These events are subject to strict guidelines set forth by the International Paralympic Committee to deliver broad-based accessibility. In some cases, changes to accessibility are temporary, wherein other upgrades remain as permanent fixtures for venues, transportatio…

    This article offers a discourse analysis of media representations of para-athletes before, during and post the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games in print and online sources, drawing on the lens of critical disability theory. We consider the importance of the media–sport cultural complex in influencing public attitudes towards disability. We conclude that whilst the importance of discursive change cannot be underestimated at the level of the media a…

    A range of recent academic, policy and practice-focused work in the UK and internationally has identified a need for more focused attention on the role of digital literacies in enabling young people to more effectively navigate their way through an increasingly complex, digitally mediated world. In this article, we explore the main debates taking place around the prevalence of digital media in the early twenty-first century, with emphasis on the …

  • Leveraging parasport events for sustainable community participation

    Drawing on a case study of the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, this article examines the extent to which the hosting of an integrated parasport event where able-bodied athletes and athletes with a disability compete alongside one another is being leveraged to create opportunities for community participation, and influence community attitudes towards disability. The assumption about hosting parasport events is that the mere visibility of event…

    Over the last two decades wellness discourses have had a particularly powerful influence on advanced western societies. Some of the discourses have found their way into the corporate realm and these provide the primary focus of this paper.

Whereas, since the 1980s, established media organisations have exerted a significant influence over the production of mega sporting event narratives, the mass ava…

    Laura Misener, D Mcgillivray et al.•ARTICLE•Annals of Leisure Research•2015•Citada por: 3•Referencias: 7

    Drawing on a case study of the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, this article examines the extent to which the hosting of an integrated parasport event where able-bodied athletes and athletes with a disability compete alongside one another is being leveraged to create opportunities for community participation, and influence community attitudes towards disability. The assumption about hosting parasport events is that the mere visibility of event…

  • From Fan Parks to Live Sites

    Open Access•D Mcgillivray, Matt Frew•ARTICLE•Urban Studies•2015•Citada por: 13•Referencias: 17

    This article draws on the work of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari to consider the phenomenon of Live Sites and Fan Parks which are now enshrined within the viewing experience of mega sports events. Empirically, the article draws upon primary research on Live Sites generated during the London 2012 Olympic Games. Live Sites are represented as new spaces within which to critically locate and conceptually explore the shifting dynamics of urban spac…

  • Elite athletes or superstars? Media representation of para-athletes at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games

    G Mcpherson, Hugh O’donnell et al.•ARTICLE•Disability & Society•2016•Citada por: 19•Referencias: 9

    This article offers a discourse analysis of media representations of para-athletes before, during and post the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games in print and online sources, drawing on the lens of critical disability theory. We consider the importance of the media–sport cultural complex in influencing public attitudes towards disability. We conclude that whilst the importance of discursive change cannot be underestimated at the level of the media a…

    A range of recent academic, policy and practice-focused work in the UK and internationally has identified a need for more focused attention on the role of digital literacies in enabling young people to more effectively navigate their way through an increasingly complex, digitally mediated world. In this article, we explore the main debates taking place around the prevalence of digital media in the early twenty-first century, with emphasis on the …

  • Major sporting events and geographies of disability

    D Mcgillivray, G Mcpherson et al.•ARTICLE•Urban Geography•2017•Citada por: 4•Referencias: 7

    Major sporting events for athletes with disabilities have become part of a strategic agenda to create positive social legacies for those typically marginalized in their communities. These events are subject to strict guidelines set forth by the International Paralympic Committee to deliver broad-based accessibility. In some cases, changes to accessibility are temporary, wherein other upgrades remain as permanent fixtures for venues, transportatio…

  • Repurposing the (Super)Crip

    Open Access•D Mcgillivray, Hugh O’donnell et al.•ARTICLE•Communication & Sport•2019•Citada por: 11•Referencias: 9

    Mega-events attract ever larger media audiences, and the 2016 Rio Paralympics were no exception. As audiences grow, media coverage extends to ever more varied domains, which are themselves then colonised by an increasing range of discourses. One of main discourses to develop since the early 2000s has been that of the so-called supercrip, one which challenges the notion of “impairment” often connected with disability by foregrounding the para-athl…

  • Mega sport events and spatial management

    D Mcgillivray, Michael B Duignan et al.•ARTICLE•Annals of Leisure Research•2019•Citada por: 8•Referencias: 8

    Hosting the Olympic Games demands the efficient and effective sequestration of public space across the city to stage official sports, cultural, and commercial activities. Specifically, this paper examines how fast-tracked urban development processes create exclusive, commercial enclaves to maximize leverageable benefits for external actors. We focus on the case of Rio 2016, drawing on: (i) observations across the city and event zones, including L…

    Open Access•D Mcgillivray, Michael B Edwards et al.•ARTICLE•Leisure Studies•2019•Citada por: 9•Referencias: 43

    In this conceptual article, the authors propose a framework for how progressive human rights outcomes may be obtained in the context of bidding, planning and implementing major sport events (MSEs) through the implementation of four pathways, including good governance, the democratic participation of stakeholders, the formalisation of human rights agendas and the deployment of sensitive urban development. The authors argue that there is a need for…

  • Disorganised host community touristic-event spaces

    Michael B Duignan, D Mcgillivray•ARTICLE•Leisure Studies•2019•Citada por: 4•Referencias: 31

    We investigate the live staging spatial-organisational requirements of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, exploring the extent to which the project sequestrated, territorialised and commodified public space. Relatedly, we examine the role of new legal, regulatory and securitised event conditions in affording an effective and efficient ‘Olympic takeover’. We do this by drawing on i) official Rio 2016 planning documents, ii) observations of the live Olymp…

  • Urban Connective Action

    Open Access•D Mcgillivray, Séverin Guillard et al.•ARTICLE•Urban Planning•2020

    In the past decade, significant transformations have influenced the governance of urban public spaces. There has also been a growth in new public spheres associated with digital media networks, informing and influencing the production and regulation of urban space. In this article, we explore the role of digital and social media as a form of connective action supporting public campaigns about the privatisation and erosion of public space in the S…
