'Race', Ethnicity and Racism in Sports Coaching

Edited By Steven Bradbury, Jim Lusted, Jacco van Sterkenburg | Copyright Year 2020

This book brings together leading researchers from around the world to examine key questions around ‘race’, ethnicity and racism in sports coaching.

The book focuses specifically on the ways in which ‘race’, ethnicity and racism operate, and how they are experienced and addressed (or not) within the socio-cultural sphere of sports coaching. Theoretically informed and empirically grounded, it examines macro- (societal), meso- (organisational), and micro- (individual) level barriers to racial and ethnic diversity as well as the positive action initiatives designed to help overcome them. Featuring multi-disciplinary perspectives, the book is arranged into three thematic sections, addressing the central topics of representation and racialised barriers in sports coaching; racialised identities, diversity and intersectionality in sports coaching; and formalised racial equality interventions in sports coaching.

Including case studies from across North America, Europe and Australasia, ‘Race’, Ethnicity and Racism in Sports Coaching is essential reading for students, academics and practitioners with a critical interest in the sociology of sport, sport coaching, sport management, sport development, and ‘race’ and ethnicity studies.

I am mainly interested in working in the fields of motor racing, combat sports, and football. That interest mainly revolves around safeguarding, anti-doping, and match-fixing - but it's too early for me to say that definitely. I'm keen to find out more about these areas as the months in this programme progress.

My background is in Liberal Arts and Sciences, with a major in humanities and a minor in psychology and sociology.

I'm an avid fan of Formula One racing.
