Gender, Sport and Leisure : Continuities and Challenges

This text is offered as a contribution to the debate on the continuities apparent in gendered sport and leisure cultures, and the impact of some of the most notable challenges to those continuities.

The book is divided into four parts covering: participation; education; popular culture; and policy and action.

The Chelsea School Research Centre Edition series originated in the advanced scholarship and research undertaken in CSRC as it consolidated and developed its national and international research networks.

It brings together state-of-the-art scholarship and research in the sociology of sport, the sport sciences, leisure studies and physical education.

Each volume comprises multidisciplinary approaches to a common theme, or themed collections based upon single disciplines.

Specialist scholars from the CSRC or prominent authors from other universities and Research Centres contribute to these editions.
