In/visible hurdles: US collegiate esports participants’ perceived barriers to play and involvement
Gaming and esports communities possess cultural barriers that exclude potential participants, limiting their access to social, cultural, and economic opportunities. In the United States, for instance, varsity esports players are increasingly supported by scholarships and tournament prizes, but persistent challenges make these benefits accessible to only a limited portion of the student body. Using a grounded theory analysis of 31 in-depth intervi…
Antiracist storytelling: Latinx graduate students and faculty experiences in academia
Anti-racist storytelling serves as a mechanism to expose the power dynamics and structural racism embedded in U.S. society. The goal of this paper is to demonstrate how anti-racist storytelling can be germane to challenging the status quo in academia that allows inequities to exist. First, we begin by sharing and debriefing stories that illustrate the difficulties that Latinxs face within academic spaces. Second, we discuss the role of allies. Fi…
An Ecological Model of Environmental Justice for Recreation
Socioeconomic and racial-ethnic inequities in access to recreation settings are widely considered environmental justice (EJ) issues. Researchers in leisure, geography, urban planning, and other disciplines have published important theoretical contributions on EJ related to recreation and parks, but such contributions have not been examined conjointly to identify their broader implications. In this article, we use an integrated definition of EJ th…
Recasting Collegiate Esports: Independence and Interdependence of University Twitch Streamers
Few online communities exhibit the tensions between independence and interdependence better than collegiate esports. Twitch, the primary platform for live streaming esports, is central in such strife. The platform is a vital tool for colleges and athletes to forward brand, community, and entrepreneurship, while simultaneously its unbridled use indicates the need for administration and institutional interventions by universities. As such the propo…
Greensplaining environmental justice: A narrative of race, ethnicity, and justice in urban greenspace development
While urban greenspaces play an important role in shaping the cultural and social dimensions of cities, these spaces are also inherently political, often serving to perpetuate the exclusion and subordination of racially marginalized populations. Drawing upon critical race theory, the purpose of this research is to use narratives to highlight how race, structural racism, White privilege, and power continue to shape environmental injustices in the …
Implicit Attitudes and the Challenge of Becoming a Reflexive Leisure Scholar
This paper highlights the potential roles of implicit bias and implicit association testing (IAT) in the practice of reflexivity. In the paper, eight leisure scholars reflected on their explicit and implicit prejudice and privilege and its influence on their efforts to conduct critical leisure research. Data were collected from these scholars in three stages. First, participant-researchers engaged in a ‘conscious,’ written, personal reflexive exe…
Hiking during the Covid-19 pandemic: Demographic and visitor group factors associated with public health compliance
During the COVID-19 pandemic, compliance with public health guidelines to reduce the coronavirus spread became a focal point for park managers. Because parks were among the few spaces open to the public during the pandemic, park users may have been willing to accept the risk of noncompliance in exchange for the benefits of being outdoors. In this study, we used the SOPARC observation method to examine what predicted hikers' compliance with public…
Fear of the Unknown: Examining Neighborhood Stigma’s Effect on Urban Greenway Use and Surrounding Communities
Neighborhood stigma, founded on the idea that individuals avoid and denigrate spaces occupied by residents of color due to perceptions of crime and disorder, can influence travel patterns, impact housing markets, and exacerbate social and environmental justice issues. As a proliferation of urban greenways connecting once stratified communities, such stigma may also influence recreation behaviors. Using a series of observations and interviews with…

Contested Spaces: Intimate Segregation and Environmental Gentrification on Chicago's 606 Trail
The 606, a greenway in Chicago, has been lauded as a transformative revitalization project that provides diverse benefits and connects communities. However, the greenway has become a source of conflict among Latinx residents who question the trail's value and influence on their communities. Using observations and interviews with users and residents, this study examined potential consequences of The 606, including intimate segregation, which occur…
Cool' Party, Bro: The Fraternity Use of Party Structure as a Mechanism for Control over Female Status on Campus
This conceptual article examines how existing institutionalized sexism constructed within fraternity party structure is used as a mechanism for categorizing women on college campuses. While these social gatherings provide an opportunity for interaction and new relationships, the environment is often constructed in a manner that reinforces traditional gender roles and increases the overall risk of sexual assaults. For some females, the attainment …
