Negotiating the coaching landscape: Experiences of Black men and women coaches in the United Kingdom

“…Studies focusing on the UK sporting context examining the interconnections of 'race', ethnicity and gender in sport have tended to focus on the experiences of participants, rather than coaches (Burdsey, 2007(Burdsey, , 2009Ratna, 2011Ratna, , 2013. Though there is still a dearth of work on the Black experience of coaching in the UK, what has been completed has generally focused on men (Bradbury et al 2016;King, 2004).…”

Coaching research has yet to fully address these unique and diverse aspects of racialised and ethnic identities that become more or less pertinent for coaches at different times and in different situations, as well as the whiteness of sport coaching as an institutional field (Rankin-Wright and Norman, in press).…”

“…This was at odds to others from a similar South Asian background who were excluded based on more identifiable signifiers of cultural and religious difference. For inclusion to become a reality, Harris had consciously deprioritised certain "ethno-cultural differences" to align his identity to conform to the expectations of the institutional whiteness, and traditions of sports coaching (Burdsey, 2007: 69;Ratna, 2011Ratna, , 2013 …”

“…Critical scholarship that examines intersecting racialised and gendered experiences related to organisational practices in sport is sparse (Birrell, 1989;Bruening, 2005;Bruening and Borland, 2010;Carter-Francique and Olushola, 2016; CarterFrancique, in press;McDonald and Birrell, 1999;Ratna, 2011Ratna, , 2013.

A People’s History of Leisure Studies: Old Knowledge, New Knowledge and The Philadelphia Negro as a Foundational Text

“…A number of researchers have constructed a body of study for us that categorizes research on Race and ethnicity. This insight has generated a volume of research that has raised awareness and understanding on: 1) future directions of Race and ethnicity-based research (Floyd 2007;Stodolska 2000); 2) the importance of past research on Race and ethnicity (Byrne and Wolch 2009;Shinew et al 2006); 3) the impact of the past on current racialized and ethnocentric leisure (Erikson et al 2009;McAvoy 2002;Stodolska and Walker 2007); 4) increased participation or visibility of populations of color (Gomez 2002;Johnson et al 2001;Roberts and Rodriguez 2008;Stodolska and Yi 2003); 5) management approaches and implications in regards to diverse populations (Gobster 2002;Martin 2004;Shinew and Stodolska;Winter et al 2004); 6) theoretical and conceptual models for research on populations on color (Gomez 2002;Stodolska 2005); 7) racial and ethnic constraints in leisure participation and engagement (Floyd and Johnson 2002;Stodolska and Yi-Kook 2005); 8) racial and ethnic differences in gendered leisure activities (Henderson and Ainsworth 2001;Yuen and Pedlar 2009);9) racial and ethnic stratification of leisure participation (Hibbler and Shinew 2002;Lee et al 2001); 10) the impact of Whiteness on leisure conceptualization, engagement, and implementation (Arai and Kivel 2009;Kivel 2005;Long and Hylton 2002;McDonald 2009); and, presenting an international understanding of Race and ethnicity both within home countries and immigrant populations in the Global North into leisure and recreation (Burdsey et al 2013;Floyd and Gramann 1993;Ratna 2...…”
