After sport: Physical culture in the Anthropocene
The purpose of this essay is to underscore the importance of contemplating the unsustainability of neoliberal sport in the Anthropocene. It contends that the conditions associated with anthropogenic environmental change should compel researchers who study the sport industry to consider the possibility that not only are contemporary capitalist forms of sport and physical activity generally not ecologically sustainable, but that post-growth forms o…
Green light or black flag? Greenwashing environmental sustainability in Formula One and Formula E
Historically, Formula One motor racing has had a deleterious environmental impact: burning fossil fuels, the wanton waste of resources while producing a complex global carbon footprint. However, as global concerns and expectations have escalated around environmental sustainability, Formula One has advanced what is largely superficial and deceitful 'green' credentials via perfunctory hybrid technologies and promulgating piecemeal sustainability st…
When the clothes fit: Exploring the embodied transition to motherhood
Clothing practices can assist women in cultivating a particular body image and, thus, are sutured with details regarding how they manage their identity and appearance. Clothing can also help women cope with corporeal transitions, such as pregnancy. The relationship between clothing and one’s perception of their body shape changes during pregnancy as does how women feel about their clothes as they assume a new maternal identity. However, there is …

Fit for Motherhood: The Glocalization of Maternal Physical Activity in Mother and Baby Magazine
Covid-19 and outdoor recreation in the post-anthropause
The lockdown measures instituted during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a moment of restricted human activity and mobility that researchers have called the ‘anthropause’. Along with accounts of the widespread suspension or disruption of various industries, including sport, recreation, and tourism, media reported on the anthropause’s positive impact on wildlife and environments, evidenced by accounts of animals returning to t…
Two silos of thinking that were not connected: A Board’s Attempt to Manage the Logics of Recreational and Elite Youth Soccer in an Urban Community Club
The objective of this study was to explore the Board of a youth soccer club’s decisions and actions as it transitioned from a small community club to the biggest soccer club in a metropolitan area in the United States. The study was designed as a case study using observations, interviews, document analysis as its primary method. Using an institutional logics perspective, this study examines how board members’ social identities and goals were not …

Home and Neighborhood Physical Activity Location Availability among African American Adolescent Girls Living in Low-Income, Urban Communities: Associations with Objectively Measured Physical Activity
Based on the ecological model of active living, the neighborhood environment may relate to individual physical activity (PA) behaviors. The purposes of this study were to (1) generate a replicable neighborhood-level physical activity location availability score (PALAS) from data variables associated with physical activity among adolescents and adults, and apply this score to Baltimore City, Maryland, and (2) determine if relationships exist betwe…
Cycling in the Flattened City: Urban Assemblages and Digital Visual Research
As urban assemblage theory emphasizes a conceptualization of the city as movement, constituted through the processual interactions between different human and non-human actors. This approach has been recognized as potentially valuable for the study of active bodies in urban environments ( Rick and Bustad 2020 ). Moreover, this approach also encourages the development and implementation of innovative methodologies aimed at conveying the complexity…
Critiquing Anthropocentric Media Coverage of the Covid-19 Sport “Hiatus”
This commentary highlights a recent trend of anthropocentrism (a focus on human-centered interests and activities) in the media coverage in the United States and Europe on the disruption of the contemporary sports industry caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors argued that the coverage promotes anthropocentric narratives by framing the pandemic as an external force causing a temporary and unforeseen “hiatus” in the sports industry. As a res…
Remaking recreation: Neoliberal urbanism and public recreation in Baltimore
Working a Third Shift: Physical Activity and Embodied Motherhood
In their conception of the 'third shift,' Dworkin and Wachs argue that working mothers engage in fitness and bodywork in addition to the first shift of professional work and the second shift of household labor and childcare. Within this third shift, the goal for women is to 'erase physical evidence of motherhood' and return to the pre-pregnancy self. The cultivation of a body socially defined as 'good' and 'attractive' thus serves as a visible il…
Sport and the Neoliberal University: Profit, Politics, and Pedagogy
Sport and Urbanization
Since the start of the nineteenth century, the processes of urban development and the development of modern sport have been dialectically linked. With critical masses of potential participants, spectators, and media, the city provided the necessary ingredients for the development of sport as a structured activity and viable enterprise. With concerns over the social and public health impacts of rapid urbanization, sport helped to shape urban growt…
‘My baby and this mom body’: Examining post-partum bodywork through stroller fitness
This article, based on ethnographic research, discusses the ways in which women exercise their class privilege in order to facilitate their membership in a postpartum stroller fitness class so as to be fit for their new maternal role. Privilege is linked to capital, a powerful social construct and an important resource which governs lifestyle practices and endows individuals with distinction in particular cultural fields. Feminist theory has expl…
Policing the Void: Recreation, Social Inclusion and the Baltimore Police Athletic League
In this article, we explore the relationship between public recreation policy and planning and the transformation of urban governance in the context of the Police Athletic League centers in Baltimore, Maryland. In light of contemporary discussions of the role of youth programs for sport and physical activity within post-industrial cities, the origination, development, and eventual demise of Baltimore’s network of Police Activity League centers is…
National Sporting Pastimes, Spectacles of Sporting Otherness and American Imaginings, 1880–1920
This discussion focuses on how the rise of America's national sporting pastimes, during the period 1880–1920, was inextricably tied to the ambitions and outpourings of American print capitalism and a concomitant congealing of a sense of modern American nationhood. In examining this thematic, we explicate the manner in which American national sporting audiences during the period 1880–1920 were variously constituted through discourses of national a…
