Feminist new materialist insights for sport management

Chapter 28 in Research Handbook on Gender and Diversity in Sport Management, 2024, pp 398-412 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter explores how feminist new materialist theories offer different insights for doing sport management research and practice differently. We explore the onto-ethico-epistemological assumptions that inform material feminist approaches to knowledge and consider the implications of thinking relationally for transforming normative understandings of sport management (white, masculine, heterosexual, human centered). From this perspective, we consider how gender matters beyond binary thinking - as an entangled material and discursive phenomenon - through the individual, institutional and sociocultural dynamics that shape the sport ecosystem. Feminist new materialism can advance a relational understanding of sport management knowledge and practice to better recognize the entangled, dynamic systems enabling and impeding change. We address the current gaps, silences and silos that shape sport management theory-method approaches to questions of injustice and knowledge production.
