Working within the Centre for Social Justice in Sport and Society (CSJ) at Leeds Beckett University, UK, has provided opportunities for the authorship team to work with sports organisations on issues of equity, diversity and inclusion.

The role of sport-based social networks in the management of long-term health conditions: Insights from the World Transplant Games
In the context of an increasing clinical need to better support self-management for people living with long-term health conditions an interest in the role of social networks has emerged.

Phenomenological analysis was used to examine interviews with 13 organ transplant recipients who had ta…

Five football academy players aged 11 years participated in five focus group interviews. Thematic and interactional qualitative analyses were performed to examine the content and function of participants’ talk. Find…
Methodological pluralism in qualitative research: Reflections on a meta–study
A short report is provided of a meta–study of methodological pluralism in qualitative research; that is, of the use of two or more qualitative methods to analyse the same data set. Ten eligible papers were identified and assessed. Their contents are described with respect to theory, methods and findings, and their possible implications discussed in relation to a series of wider debates in qualitative research more generally
