Biography
Katie Liston has published extensively on the sociology of sport, including topics such as gender, migration, national identity, feminisms and sports policy. She is currently engaged in research on sport and the Empire, sport-for-development and women’s sports migration.
Paddy Dolan examines consumer culture and subjectivity and has published on this and research methods. More recently he has extended his focus to the study of sport and Gaelic games, their organisation and development, and to sports spectatorship. Other research interests include the development of childhood subjectivities and identities, cosmopolitanism and the sociology of emotions.
"The text is written for scholars familiar with the topic, as its depth and direction would be difficult for novices to easily comprehend. As scholars continue to explore race and ethnicity in sport, they will benefit from Liston and Dolan’s attempt to move beyond the narrow confines of traditional research theories in an effort to allow for the evolvement and advancement of sport research."

Sport is a window one can view the world through, and as this book shows it is a window that researchers outside the sports field should be interested in glancing through."
