Critical feminisms in sport management: theory and practice

Sally Shaw

Chapter 24 in Research Handbook on Gender and Diversity in Sport Management, 2024, pp 345-357 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The purpose of this chapter is to expand on the ways sport management scholars engage with critical feminism in sport management. I briefly explore the origins of critical feminism, identifying critical feminism’s limitations. I argue for the development of critical feminisms, which recognise multiple gender and sexual identities, alongside the structural and power relationships within which they exist, in the field of sport management. I call for the need for sport management researchers both to engage in feminisms that are critical and to be critical of feminisms. I also argue that researchers must mobilise this intellectual endeavor in sport management practice, addressing the thorny question of ‘so what?’.
