ABSTRACT

Scholars have highlighted an important possible constraint to promoting disability sport as a domain for disability activism – the relationship between elite Paralympic sport systems and the disability rights movement. As part of a growing interest in nondisabled sport and social activism, some researchers have recently begun to focus on disability sport and social activism. Accompanying such public displays of activism by nondisabled athletes and the resulting media attention, there has been an increasing scholarly interest in sport and social activism. Although there has been some work talking about disability, sport and activism, there is limited amount of empirical research that specially studies disability sport as a domain to promote disability activism. To promote disability sport as a domain for social activism, the empirical, conceptual and methodological scope of research requires innovation. The chapter concludes with a set of future research directions in relation to disability sport and social activism.
