Conceptualization of diversity and inclusion: Tensions and contradictions in the sport management classroom

“I Felt Like . . . They Left Me to Fend for Myself”: A Mixed-Method Examination of Sense of Belonging Among Minoritized Groups in Sport Academic Programs

“…For example, the creation of specific scholarship programs or travel funds for students with lower socioeconomic status can help remove barriers to entry into the sports industry. Attention to understudied interlocking systems of oppression, such as those rooted in socioeconomic status, is also warranted given that recent research indicates that sport management students may be familiar with concepts related to race, ethnicity, and gender but have less awareness of other dimensions of diversity such as disability, sexual orientation, or age (Sauder et al, 2021).…”

“…While sport management scholars have started to examine issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion within sport management education (DeLuca et al, 2022;Hayes Sauder et al, 2021), the literature historically has focused on gender identity and the experiences of women within sport management programs. Though the experiences of women are important-especially given that men continue to dominate sport and sport management education programs-there are a plethora of student identity categories that remain understudied, including but not limited to those rooted in race, religion, sexual orientation, nationality, and socioeconomic background.…”

Kinesiology, Physical Activity, Physical Education, and Sports through an Equity/Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Lens: A Scoping Review

“…In sports, physical education, physical activity, and kinesiology, the individual terms of equity, equality, diversity, and inclusion are discussed, in the context of the EDI groups of gender, race, LGBTQ2S+ [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][101][102][103][107][108][109][110][111][112][113][122][123][124][125][126], and Indigenous people [62][63][64][65]…”

“…What EDI data, if any, is generated within the academic literature focusing on sports, kinesiology, physical education, and physical activity can influence the implementation and direction of EDI focusing on sports, kinesiology, physical education, and physical activity in universities Studies focusing on sports engage with equity and equality, in the context of the EDI groups of gender [37][38][39][40][41][42], race [43][44][45][46][47], and LGBTQ2S+ [48][49][50][51], including through an intersectionality lens [52] of these three identities [53]. Coverage exists for the term's diversity and inclusion [54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61] and Indigenous peoples [62][63][64][65][66][67][68]. Studies noted that women especially in third world countries continue to experience a lack of equity in sport [69], that women's sports are underrepresented in media coverage and that women are underrepresented in sports careers such as sports journalism, sports media, and sport leadership positions [70][71][72].…”
