Exploring LGBTQ+ people’s perception of belonging in sport and leisure
Esport Social Capital
Esport Social Capital: An Avenue to Develop Social Connection and Subjective Wellbeing
Challenging the status quo of sports media
Purpose This study investigates how independent content creators have built platforms to cover women’s sports and advocate for women in sports using digital platforms. These creators challenge the status quo of sports media and build communities of like-minded fans. This enables collective action and resistance through deep engagement with the content produced. Design/methodology/approach Six semistructured interviews were conducted with women wh…

The tennis club is my safe space’
This article reports on a national study commissioned by Tennis Australia to assess the positive role that sport, specifically tennis, has on the lives of LGBT+ people in Australia. It explores specifically the role of tennis in building social solidarity and community capital through leisurely and organised sporting activities. Theoretically, this paper is anchored in the work of Putnam, where we demonstrate how sport promotes and bridges social…
Are we there yet? (Illusions of) Inclusion in sport for LGBT+ communities in Australia
This paper reports findings from five recent studies related to gender and sexuality in Australian sport. It offers a challenge to widespread claims that exclusionary practices such as homo/bi/transphobia have been reduced or eliminated within sport settings. We suggest there remains much to be done towards 'inclusion', and that the concept itself is perhaps an illusion. Drawing on 'diversity work' theory we suggest inclusion is yet to be fully r…
Game to play? ’
Sport settings have long been documented as exclusionary environments for sexuality and gender diverse (SAGD) people and a key location of discrimination. Sport is associated with well-being, and increasing physical activity for disadvantaged groups is a key aim for many governments. This study reports on 13 semi-structured interviews with young SAGD people aged 18–24 in Australia that explore their attitudes to and experiences of sport and physi…
Conceptualising organisational cultural lag
This article develops a theoretical framework to understand how sexuality can be institutionalised through debates about marriage equality. We first examine 13 Australian sporting organisations concerning their support for marriage equality and sexual minority inclusion before showing they drew cultural capital from supporting episodes of equality exogenous to their organisation, while failing to promote internal inclusion. We use online content …
Assessing Support for Advantaged and Disadvantaged Groups
Individuals from lower-socio-economic status (SES) communities have increased risk of developing obesity in developed countries such as Australia. Given the influence of the environment on dietary behaviour, this paper seeks to examine food environments in areas of differing social advantage. An established measurement tool (the NEMS-Nutrition Environment Measurement Survey), that captures aspects of support for healthy eating within restaurants …
Diversity work in community sport organizations
Diversity is a key term used in a range of public and private organizations to describe institutional goals, values and practices. Sport is a prominent social institution where the language of diversity is frequently and positively used; yet, this rhetoric does not necessarily translate into actual practice within sport organizations. This paper critically examines diversity work in community sports clubs. Drawing upon qualitative research at 31 …
I guess it’s kind of elitist’
Policy and research portray sport volunteering as a means by which young people can develop skills and perform active citizenship. This paper draws on qualitative research with participants in a UK sport volunteering programme to critically examine young people’s volunteering journeys and how these are shaped by their formation and mobilisation of capital. The results show how programme structures and practices, such as selection criteria, privil…
