New and Forthcoming Titles

Subject Area: Sports Studies

It’s more than just a game. A forerunner in the field of sports studies, the press has for years recognized sport’s ability to shape people’s lives as well as to elucidate the nuances of race, gender, and class identity. Thanks in part to our close collaboration with pathbreaking sports historian David K. Wiggins—editor of our keystone series Sport, Culture, and Society—we’ve built a deep list of monographs and collections that connect the work of researchers in the humanities and social sciences with professional academics and general readers alike.
