Recently, Monika Stodolska (2018) summarized the existing Leisure Studies research exploring race, ethnicity, and immigration in the Leisure Sciences 40th anniversary issue. Stodolska concluded that leisure researchers are well positioned to address the increasingly complex issues Western societies face regarding race, ethnicity, and immigration; although, boundaries need to continue being pushed theoretically, methodologically, and towards greater interdisciplinarity. This session invites papers to contribute towards a similar conversation within the sociology of sport. Namely, paper presentation submissions should address the following guiding questions: (1) What major themes have been explored in sport sociology research on race, ethnicity, and immigration research in the last 40 years? (2) How is sport sociology research negotiating the complexity of race, ethnicity, and immigration in our contemporary context? (3) What epistemological, ontological, theoretical, and methodological tools are needed for sport researchers to contribute to the study of race, ethnicity, and immigration moving forward? In line with the conference theme, Sport Soundtrack: Sport, Music, and Culture, papers exploring the intersections between sport, the arts, and culture within in the context race, ethnicity, and immigration will also be considered.
