For you, the scholar of sport and culture, sports do matter. That's why the Journal of Sport & Social Issues (JSSI) is such an indispensable resource. JSSI publishes the latest research, discussion, and analysis of contemporary sport issues. From an international, interdisciplinary perspective, JSSI examines today's most pressing and far-reaching questions about sport.
 
Concise, Convenient Format

Every issue of the Journal of Sport & Social Issues is divided into three convenient sections that provide complete coverage of this dynamic field:

FOCUS: A symposium section containing sound research articles and stimulating commentary on a single theme.

TRENDS: Articles and briefs devoted to both breaking issues and existing lines of research of vital importance to sport. In this section, critical and empirical scholars take risks and coexist in a rich theoretical marketplace.

VIEW: Commentary essays aimed at provoking thought, stimulating debate, and developing theoretical positions on varied topics related to the social importance of sport. Includes in-depth review essays on books, films, and other resources.

Interdisciplinary

The Journal of Sport & Social Issues is at the forefront of lively public discussion of contemporary topics in the sports world. In JSSI, scholars study the impact of sport on social issues from many perspectives, including:

  • sociology
  • history
  • economics
  • media studies
  • gender studies 
  • psychology
  • political science
  • cultural studies
  • anthropology
  • ethnic studies

Such rich diversity often provokes disagreement about theoretical assumptions and methodological approaches. JSSI is the forum where these different viewpoints can clash and provoke ongoing debate and inquiry into critical issues in the sports world.

This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
