ABSTRACT

This chapter will discuss some emerging issues for future sport management

research and demonstrate how they can be situated in the sport management

research field. Social Network Theory, Race and Critical Race Studies,

Whiteness Studies, Disability Studies, Participant Authored Audiovisual

Stories and Visual Sociology are research methods that need to be considered

for future research projects. Each in its own way presents opportunities for

sport management knowledge to be extended through their application. This

chapter briefly outlines the basic principles that underpin these approaches

and suggests how they might be applied in the field of sport management.
