Conference Theme DESCRIPTION
Theme: Incorporating Socially Inclusive Pedagogy
Sport has been at the forefront of the social justice movement and the field of sport management was also impacted by these initiatives. From the United States Women’s National Team challenging for equal pay to athletes and teams across all levels of competition kneeling during the National Anthem, social activism continues to be intertwined with sport.
COSMA continues its broad theme of “equity in sport” by focusing on incorporating social justice (and its many variants) in the classroom. As a nationwide audience exposed to social initiatives through the consumption of sport, sport management educators must navigate students’ perceptions and understanding of the field of sport management as it adapts within America and a global society.
Submissions may feature, but are not limited to: Race and Equity; Diversity, Equity and Inclusion; Gender; Sexual orientation; Disability; Economic class and status, etc. Pedagogy that seeks to provide a voice to marginalized populations increases student awareness and understanding of initiatives that may be unknown or unfamiliar to them (Gale, Mills, & Cross, 2017) and can contribute to the formation of a more inclusive society.
