Author Description

The Sociology of Sport Journal (SSJ) aims to stimulate and communicate research, critical thought, and theory development on issues pertaining to sociology and sport. The leading and most authoritative journal in the field, SSJ maintains its strong commitment to present analyses from diverse theoretical and methodological perspectives, and welcomes new voices to the discussion of sport, play, games, exercise, leisure, and body culture. In the past year, SSJ has presented original articles on central issues in the field, including sport policy, gender, globalization, and health and injuries. SSJ will continue to publish noteworthy articles addressing significant topics to the field, including a forthcoming special issue that focuses specifically on racial issues in sport, making SSJ an ideal companion to other social science journals, as well as a stimulating publication in its own right. Also available is the online format of SSJ that offers the same authoritative content available in the print edition, but with the additional advantages of electronically formatted material including the ability to search journals in seconds, access to five years of back issues, and e-mail notification that the online version is available before the print version mails.
