“We exist. Don’t forget or overlook us.”: Queering the legacies of the 2023 Women’s Fifa World Cup
Purpose The FIFA Women’s World Cup (WWC) 2023 was co-hosted by Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand and was the first WWC to require legacy planning to develop women’s football. We examine the relevance of the legacy plans for an important fan segment within football: LGBTQ+ self-identifying women and non-binary fans. We also sought to explore how a queer perspective might inform the future of football through WWC legacies. Design/methodology/appro…
Failure and Futurity: The Transformative Potential of Queer Skateboarding
Skateboarding has been thought to possess a certain alternative ‘potential’ to challenge prevalent inequalities in sport. However, skateboarding remains a largely hetero-masculine domain. As such, queer identities have been marginalized and relegated to a peripheral space. Nevertheless, radical scenes of young queer skateboarders are offering alternative definitions and possibilities for what it means to be a skateboarder and do skateboarding. Th…

Uncovering Forgotten, Unseen and Contested Representations of ‘Black Britain’: Gloo Joo (1979) and Meadowlark (1982)
Drawing on archival research (largely housed in the Channel 4 archive) and textual analysis, this article examines the controversial single television play, Gloo Joo (1979) and a mooted ‘spin-off’ series, Meadowlark (1982), for which a pilot (‘Brixton Tree of Life’) was commissioned and made by London Weekend Television for Channel 4, but not transmitted. Both dramas were written and filmed during periods of heightened racial tension and their pr…
School travel, partnerships, and neo‐liberalism: Insights from a South Island primary school
New Zealand schools may implement school traffic safety programmes such as assisted road crossings. Within New Zealand’s neo‐liberal educational framework, these initiatives require collaboration between the school and associated agencies such as city councils and parents. In this research we examined the experiences of school representatives in creating such a road crossing. A qualitative research approach was used. Semi‐structured interviews we…
Using the kaleidoscope career model to analyze female CEOs’ experiences in sport organizations
Purpose – The purpose of this research is to examine the experiences of female CEOs in New Zealand sport using a career account approach overlaid with the Kaleidoscope Career Model (KCM). This research focuses on their successful careers, rather than constraints and barriers, which is a feature of much previous research in the area. Design/methodology/approach – Semi-structured interviews and analysis were informed by the principles of the KCM of…
Screening black political struggle on 1970s British Television: The case of the Play for Today , A Hole in Babylon (1979)
This article draws on my interviews with the writer/director Horace Ové and the producer Graham Benson, in order to explore the production history of the Play for Today, A Hole in Babylon. Filmed during a particularly turbulent decade in British race relations, A Hole in Babylon was a fictionalised account of the 1975 Spaghetti House siege. Horace Ové was intent on providing a sympathetic portrayal of three black men, whose botched attempt at an …
Mapping outdoor organizations' governance
This article reports an exploratory study that mapped the governance structures of 12 New Zealand Outdoor Recreation Organizations. The Chair, CEO or equivalent and a new board member from each organization were interviewed, and publically available organizational documents were reviewed. An overview of governance theories was used to frame our study and organize the data; it also provided a language for the analysis of the organizations' governa…
Virtual environments for collaborative leisure research
Collaboration is becoming the ‘new normal’ of research practice in response to the complexity of problems being studied and funding requirements. There is some evidence that, in general, research outputs from collaborative teams tend to be of higher quality and wider interest than those from individual researchers. While recent calls for more collaboration in leisure research are prompted by concerns about quality, relevance and funding efficienc…
Keeping People ‘In the Tent’: Governance in the New Zealand Outdoor Activity Sector
The purpose of this research was to examine governance in the New Zealand outdoor activity sector. We conducted 35 interviews with key personnel from organisations with responsibility for national co-ordination, education, and membership services. Using Brandsen and Pestoff’s (Public Manag Rev 8(4):493–501, 2006) co-processes framework, we describe and analyse governance of the outdoor sector. In so doing, we provide insight into the challenges f…
“If A Woman Came In … She Would Have Been Eaten Up Alive”: Analyzing Gendered Political Processes in the Search for an Athletic Director
The purpose of this qualitative case study is to understand and critique the gendered political processes in the search for an athletic director following a merger between men’s and women’s intercollegiate athletic departments in a U.S. university. Semi-structured interviews were used to ask 55 athletic department stakeholders their perceptions of the search process and associated politics. Findings indicated gendered political activities occurre…
A‘country boy’ migrates to Brixton – re-examining agency, identity and memory in and through Black Joy
Focused on the British film Black Joy (Simmons, 1977), this article draws on archival material and recent interviews with both Jamal Ali, the radical black poet-playwright who wrote the heavily autobiographical screenplay for the film – concerned with the travails of Benjamin, a young man who has migrated from Guyana to Brixton (London) – and members of the public who saw the film on its London release. The aim is to argue that the making, market…

Snowboarding Mums Carve Out Fresh Tracks: Resisting traditional motherhood discourse
The purpose of this research was to explore the experiences of mothers who snowboard. Snowboarding was selected because the discourses surrounding the sport typically embody freedom, hedonism, and irresponsibility (Humphreys, 1996). These characteristics are at odds with traditional notions of motherhood (Miller & Brown, 2005). A feminist post‐structural approach was adopted, utilising Foucault's concepts of power, knowledge, truth, and resistanc…
Gender suppression in New Zealand regional sports trusts
Purpose Gender relations in organisations remain contested and unresolved. While researchers increasingly focus on how gender is articulated, there is also a need to examine gender suppression, or how gender is deliberately not expressed in organisations. The purpose of this research is to examine gender suppression within regional sports trusts (RSTs) in New Zealand (NZ). Design/methodology/approach Surveys were sent to all 17 chief executive of…
We Actually Trust the Community: ” Examining the Dynamics of a Nonprofit Funding Relationship in New Zealand
Funding relationships in nonprofit management are increasingly defined by a philosophy of rational management, characterized by measurement of outputs and benchmarking, which represents an audit culture system (Burnley, Matthews, & McKenzie, 2005). There is concern that these approaches are constantly undermining the mission of community service nonprofit organizations (Darcy, 2002). In this research, we analyzed the management of funding relatio…
Prove it! The ‘tyranny’ of audit and accreditation in the New Zealand outdoors industry
A ‘new’ system of accrediting outdoor programmes, which is similar to regimes in the USA, Australia and England, has been developed in New Zealand. The accreditation system is based on the audit and accreditation of instructors and operators in the outdoors and has grown out of increasing concerns about safety. Initially, the system appears to be appealing, encouraging operators to be ‘transparent’ in their safety operations. Yet the discourses t…
“A Strong Man Is Direct and a Direct Woman Is a Bitch”: Gendered Discourses and Their Influence on Employment Roles in Sport Organizations
Despite increasing numbers of women in senior sport management positions over the past 30 years, men still remain dominant in these roles, indicating a level of gender inequity within sport management. It is often assumed within sport organizations that women are well-matched for lower level management roles, whereas men are more suited to senior management roles. In order to understand perceptions held about women's and men's abilities related t…
