Rethinking sport and boundaries with Payoshni Mitra

Elizabeth C.J. Pike ()

Chapter 4 in Rethinking Sport and Society, 2025, pp 34-45 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The structure, organisation, and experience of sport are often defined by boundaries: the boundaries of the places where sports take place and the laws around where it is permissible to be located in those places for the duration of the sporting event, the boundaries of the countries or regions that teams represent, and the boundaries defining a person's gender for the purpose of sporting competition. This chapter examines these boundaries from the extensive experience of a scholar and activist, Payoshni Mitra, who argues for a focus on human rights as well as an inclusive global perspective to challenge the dominance of the Global North, if there is to be a true rethinking of sport and these traditional boundaries.
