The post-colonial challenges of climate change and sport for development and peace in the Anthropocene
In the context of the contemporary sport for development and peace (SDP) sector, the environment and climate change have proven difficult to address in both policy and practice. In this paper, by drawing on interviews with policy-makers in the sector and practitioners who design and implement programming, we attempt to tease apart the tensions shaping sport for development and peace in the Anthropocene. Reading interview data through the lens of …
Sport, Development and Environmental Sustainability
This is the first book to consider the intersections of sport, international development and environmental sustainability. It explores the tensions between sport's potential contribution to the environment and its rather poor record to date. Bringing together a diverse group of scholars who approach the topic from various disciplinary and theoretical perspectives, the book provides both critical and optimistic perspectives on the place of sport i…

This paper discusses the methodological benefits and challenges of this methodological approach, with a…

Rwanda’s history of genoc…

Sport and Social Movements: From the Local to the Global is the first book-length treatment of the way social movements have intersected and continue to intersect with sport. It traces the history of various social movements associated with labour, women, rights (civil, racial, disability and sexual), peace and the environment and their relationship to sport and sports mega-events such as the Olympic Games. Based on research conducted by a multin…
Sport and Neoliberalism
Neoliberalism is nothing if not resilient. Despite financial crises, environmental disasters, rising inequality and reduced qualities of life for the planet’s majority – all of which have increased
Convergence, Corporate Restructuring, and Canadian Online News, 2000-2003
This paper critically examines the corporate restructurings that took place in the Canadian news industry in 2000, using findings from website analyses in 2001 and 2003 that assessed the impact of the changes on the provision of online news. The paper shows that despite their stated commitment to convergence, the restructured companies only selectively exploited the interactive potential of the Web, and that they tended to operate under tradition…
