ABSTRACT
Recent years have seen the continued institutionalization of the Sport for Development and Peace (SDP) sector, the loose amalgam of stakeholders that organize and mobilize sport to meet the goals of international development and peace building. Despite the significance of Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) in SDP, a range of critical research now exists, using a variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives. At the same time, given that SDP research is still regularly equated with (or even reduced to) M&E, opportunities remain for critical scholars to illustrate and communicate various epistemologies of critical research in ways that might better inform the everyday practices of SDP.
