  • The interplay between reproducing stigma and building agency for social change in sports coaching: The lived experiences of lesbian coaches in Spain

    Judith Solanas, Ingrid Hinojosa-Alcalde et al.•ARTICLE•Sport Education and Society•2026•Cited by: 1•References: 39

    While there are only a few studies analysing the experiences of lesbian coaches in sport worldwide, there is a lack of social scientific knowledge about the experiences of lesbian coaches in Spain. This paper explores a novel conceptual framework that combines stigma and agency to analyse the experiences of lesbian coaches, and the extent to which they reproduce stigma and/or build agency to challenge the status quo and foster social change. Draw…

  • Trans Women and/in Sport: Exploring Sport Feminisms to Understand Exclusions

    Jayne Caudwell•ARTICLE•Sociology of Sport Journal•2024•Cited by: 2•References: 13

    This paper explores past and present conceptual aspects of sport feminisms to understand trans women and/in sport. The adverse treatment of trans sportswomen now runs through governing bodies, sport media, individuals who are in decision-making roles, policy formation, and public social attitude. The move to exclude and/or restrict trans women from sport is apparent at national and international levels and demonstrates shifts in sport policy. The…

  • Queering Indoor Swimming in the UK: Transgender and Non-binary wellbeing

    Open Access•Jayne Caudwell•ARTICLE•Journal of Sport and Social Issues•2022•Cited by: 7•References: 7

    This paper draws from a research project that was initiated in 2017 and continued in to 2020. It followed on from previous University-LGBT + community projects (e.g., football versus homophobia 2012-2018) and involved working with a local transgender social group, specifically, their engagement with once-a-month recreational swim sessions. The research findings that are discussed come from sixty-three research participant's 'drawings', three focu…

  • Leisure and Forced Migration: Lives Lived in Asylum Systems

    D Schmidt, Giovanna Palutan et al.•BOOK•Leisure and Forced Migration•2021

    The contribution, based on an ethnographic research, looks at leisure through the lens of solidarity processes of active citizenship that involve refugees in marginal urban spaces in the city of Rome. In particular, it considers the relation between the dimension of leisure, as interpreted by activists and volunteers of the Baobab Experience association, in relation to the dimension of waiting among migrants in-transit, refugees and asylum seeker…

  • Transgender and Non-binary Swimming in the UK: Indoor Public Pool Spaces and Un/Safety

    Open Access•Jayne Caudwell•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Sociology•2020•Cited by: 3•References: 20

    This paper draws from the findings of research that was initiated as a consequence of previous research activities related to University-LGBT community physical activity projects (2012-2018). Specifically, the research underpinning this paper centers transgender and non-binary experiences of recreational swimming and aquatic activity (2017-2020). To date, the research has received small amounts of funding from four sources and resulted in two pub…

  • Multicultural lunches’: Sharing food in post-Brexit south coast of England

    Jayne Caudwell, Jae Choe et al.•ARTICLE•Annals of Leisure Research•2019•Cited by: 1•References: 29

    Food can be considered a substance that brings people together through its material and sensuous qualities, through affecting shared memories of people and place, and through traditions of hospitality. It is a human necessity with multiple levels of communal understanding, and conviviality. Currently, much of the UK faces the fragmentation of communities based on closely divided political views. In this case, conflicting feelings related to Brexi…

  • Configuring human rights at EuroPride 2015

    Jayne Caudwell•ARTICLE•Leisure Studies•2018•Cited by: 4•References: 19

    Events, predominantly sport mega-events, have received an abundance of academic scrutiny. Some of these commentaries have critiqued how the staging of mega-events can violate a range of universal human rights. Far less is available that is concerned with how events are mobilised for human rights advocacy. This paper, drawing from an ongoing qualitative research project (Baltic Pride 2015–2017), focuses on the venacularisation of human rights to o…

    This Special Issue of the journal Leisure Studies is an explicit engagement with human rights.Within the fields of events, leisure and sport there is no previous collection.There exists a rich supply of work on social justice, and moving forward, it is our contention that more concerted engagement with, and application of, human rights frameworks can enrich interdisciplinary work on social justice, international relations, politics and policy as …

  • Sport–war cartoon art

    Open Access•Robert E Rinehart, Jayne Caudwell•ARTICLE•Media War & Conflict•2017•Cited by: 1•References: 21

    In this article, We explore the extent to which political cartoons and comic strips – as mediated public and political visual art, the ‘ninth art’ according to Groensteen’s The System of Comics (2007[1999] – subvert/confirm institutional values of so-called Western democracies during times of war. Our concern, as sociologists of sport, is with the ways dominant sporting sensibilities are (re)presented in cartoon art, and how sport itself is confl…

  • You Should See Me on the Inside”: Researching the Post-Stroke Mental Health of a Male Professor of Sport

    Jayne Caudwell, John Sugden•ARTICLE•Sociology of Sport Journal•2016

    Variable, and therefore miserable condition of man! This minute I was well, and am ill, this minute. ... We study health, and we deliberate upon our meats, and drink, and air, and exercises, and we hew and we polish every stone that goes to that building; and so our health is a long and a regular work: but in a minute a cannon batters all, overthrows all, demolishes all: a sickness unprevented for all our diligence, unsuspected for all our curios…

    In this chapter, the author offers discussion of sexualities and sport. He aims to consider some examples of increasing access and participation, and deals with evidence of ever-present social divisions in society and sports that have a negative impact on sexually diverse individuals and communities. The author discusses the importance of language and definition in the production of sexual subjectivity. Countries that boast gender and sexual egal…

    Richard Pringle, Robert E Rinehart et al.•CHAPTER•Sport and the Social Significance…•2015

    This introduction presents an overview of key concepts covered in the subsequent chapters of the book. It is about sporting pleasures. It is not a text on how to maximize experiences of pleasure in sport settings, but a critical socio-cultural examination of the significance of pleasure in the constitution of the sporting world, identities and sets of relations of power. The examination of sport pleasure has not been a central topic of examinatio…

    “... and how far do our feelings take their colour from the dive underground?”(Virginia Woolf to Janet Case, cited in de Mille 2011, p. 376)“Perhaps I am no one.True, I have a bodyand I cannot escape from it.I would like to fly out of my head,but that is out of the question.”(Anne Sexton, The Poet of Ignorance, in The Awful Rowing Toward God, 1975)

    This edited collection explores the important connections between sexualities, geographies and leisure studies. Chapters consider aspects of sport, leisure and tourism and show how sexualities are produced and reproduced within these spatial realms. The critical and interdisciplinary analyses—which are evident in the collection—focus on sexuality and the socio-cultural power relations produced through and in the spaces of leisure. These theoretic…

    Jayne Caudwell•ARTICLE•Sport Education and Society•2012•Cited by: 32•References: 9

    In this paper, I discuss [transgender] young men’s social, physical and embodied experiences of sport. These discussions draw from interview research with two young people who prefer to selfidentify as ‘male’ and not as ‘trans men’, although they do make use of this term. Finn and Ed1 volunteered to take part in the research following my request for volunteers at a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth group. Their narratives provid…

  • Jazzwomen: Music, sound, gender, and sexuality

    Jayne Caudwell•ARTICLE•Annals of Leisure Research•2012•Cited by: 1•References: 9

    This paper offers a feminist contribution to the critical exploration of jazz histories. It demonstrates the ways jazzwomen have been and continue to be excluded from the practices and processes that form dominant jazz culture in the UK and USA. I show how jamming and improvisation as well as producing sound(s) in leisure places and spaces function to reproduce male entitlement to jazz. In addition to this historical excavation, I draw from two s…

  • Women's Football in the United Kingdom: Theorizing Gender and Unpacking the Butch Lesbian Image

    Open Access•Jayne Caudwell•ARTICLE•Journal of Sport and Social Issues•1999•Cited by: 103•References: 2

    This article draws on recent quantitative and qualitative research material to show how gender functions in the cultural arena of women's football in the United Kingdom. In particular, the questionnaire and interview findings show that the 'butch lesbian' identity is a concern for those players who have taken part in the research. This supports other research on women taking part in sports traditionally defined as male. I will discuss the finding…

  • Sporting Gender: Women’s Footballing Bodies as Sites/Sights for the (Re) Articulation of Sex, Gender, and Desire

    Jayne Caudwell•ARTICLE•Sociology of Sport Journal•2003•Cited by: 71•References: 5

    Past and present participation in the game of football (soccer) by women and girls in the UK is mostly through organizational structures and legal and discursive practices that differentiate players by sex and incidentally gender. In this article, the author argues that the emphasis on sex and gender differentiation in football underpins a sporting system that is unable to move beyond sex as pregiven and the sex/gender distinction. The author eng…

  • Queering the Field? The complexities of sexuality within a lesbian-identified football team in England

    Jayne Caudwell•ARTICLE•Gender Place & Culture•2007•Cited by: 36•References: 12

    Lesbian-identified sports teams provide a challenge to the heterosexing, and heterogendering, of sport and sport space. An ‘out’ lesbian football (soccer) team can be understood as offering resistance to compulsory heterosexuality. It is this disruption of normative sexuality that can be described as queer and contributes to the queering of sport space. Given evidence of obdurate heteronormativity in most sporting arenas, such a team could be des…

    This article is inspired by a dialogue that occurred between two feminist scholars in the journal Feminist Theory.

  • Does your boyfriend know you’re here?’ The spatiality of homophobia in men’s football culture in the UK

    Jayne Caudwell•ARTICLE•Leisure Studies•2011•Cited by: 17•References: 21

    In this paper, I focus on football culture in the UK and the presence of homophobia in the men’s professional game. In particular, I explore how football fans, through sound and visual display, produce homophobia within the spaces of the stadia. In this way, I offer a contribution to existing debate surrounding the spatiality of sexuality and the social and political significance of sporting spaces. I demonstrate the normalisation of homophobic c…

    In this paper, I focus on football culture in the UK and the presence of homophobia in the men’s professional game. In particular, I explore how football fans, through sound and visual display, produce homophobia within the spaces of the stadia. In this way, I offer a contribution to existing debate surrounding the spatiality of sexuality and the social and political significance of sporting spaces. I demonstrate the normalisation of homophobic c…

  • Sport Feminism(s): Narratives of Linearity

    Open Access•Jayne Caudwell•ARTICLE•Journal of Sport and Social Issues•2011•Cited by: 22•References: 21

    This article is inspired by a dialogue that occurred between two feminist scholars in the journal Feminist Theory. The dialogue was initiated by Clare Hemmings, in 2005, in her article entitled 'Telling feminist stories.' Rachel Torr challenged this original article with 'What's wrong with aspiring to find out what has really happened in academic feminism's recent past? Response to Clare Hemmings' 'Telling feminist stories' (2007). Hemmings, in t…

  • [Transgender] young men: Gendered subjectivities and the physically active body

    Jayne Caudwell•ARTICLE•Sport Education and Society•2012•Cited by: 32•References: 9

    In this paper, I discuss [transgender] young men’s social, physical and embodied experiences of sport. These discussions draw from interview research with two young people who prefer to selfidentify as ‘male’ and not as ‘trans men’, although they do make use of this term. Finn and Ed1 volunteered to take part in the research following my request for volunteers at a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth group. Their narratives provid…

  • Jazzwomen: Music, sound, gender, and sexuality

    Jayne Caudwell•ARTICLE•Annals of Leisure Research•2012•Cited by: 1•References: 9

    This paper offers a feminist contribution to the critical exploration of jazz histories. It demonstrates the ways jazzwomen have been and continue to be excluded from the practices and processes that form dominant jazz culture in the UK and USA. I show how jamming and improvisation as well as producing sound(s) in leisure places and spaces function to reproduce male entitlement to jazz. In addition to this historical excavation, I draw from two s…

  • Sexualities, Spaces and Leisure Studies

    Jayne Caudwell, Kath Browne•BOOK•Sexualities, Spaces and Leisure…•2013

    This edited collection explores the important connections between sexualities, geographies and leisure studies. Chapters consider aspects of sport, leisure and tourism and show how sexualities are produced and reproduced within these spatial realms. The critical and interdisciplinary analyses—which are evident in the collection—focus on sexuality and the socio-cultural power relations produced through and in the spaces of leisure. These theoretic…

    This introduction presents an overview of key concepts covered in the subsequent chapters of the book. It is about sporting pleasures. It is not a text on how to maximize experiences of pleasure in sport settings, but a critical socio-cultural examination of the significance of pleasure in the constitution of the sporting world, identities and sets of relations of power. The examination of sport pleasure has not been a central topic of examinatio…
