‘With a wide selection of options for books focused on gender and
sport, the Research Handbook on Gender and Diversity in Sport
Management stands out for its diversity of topics and integration
of current and timely original reference works. The book would be
well suited for upper level undergraduate courses focusing on
gender and sport, as well as a supplemental text for classes in
leadership, organizational behavior, and diversity management.’
*Annemarie Farrell, International Journal of Sport
Communication*
‘In the Research Handbook on Gender and Diversity in Sport
Management, Markula and Knoppers provide an insightful and
encompassing overview of the topic that is impressive in scope and
quality. With stellar contributions from leading scholars around
the world, this text will undoubtedly impact research, teaching,
and practice.’
*George B. Cunningham, University of Florida, US*
‘When two pioneers of gender and diversity studies in sport join
forces to curate a kaleidoscope of feminist perspectives on
gender-based and intersectional marginalization in sport
organizations, expectations are high. This Research Handbook firmly
delivers on these expectations, offering comprehensive and
thought-provoking insights into how gendered ways of organizing and
managing sport are experienced and may be disrupted and
transformed. The Research Handbook stands out through its
theoretical diversity in understanding gender in sport
organizations, leadership, and coaching. In doing so, it paves the
way for enhancing the breadth and depth of impact of critical
research in sport management.’
*Ramón Spaaij, Victoria University, Australia*
‘A very welcome, important, and valuable contribution to the
theorizing of gender and diversity in sport management! The
original work by international scholars on how gender intersects
with other relations of power offers new, expanding, and exciting
insights to the field. Thus, this Research Handbook represents a
must and an invaluable reference source for students, faculty, and
policy makers in sport.’
*Jorid Hovden, The Norwegian University of Science and Technology,
