CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue of Sport Management Review on Managing Disability Sport Guest Editors - Dr. Laura Misener & Dr. Simon Darcy Disability sport draws on a well-developed body of literature with its origins in medicine and rehabilitation that developed quickly post-World War II with the establishment of Stoke Mandeville Games. The Stoke Mandeville Games grew into the Paralympic Games and the International Paralympic Committee. From this foundation, as human performance and sports science developed so did interest in the performance of athletes with disabilities. Within the education sector, disability advocacy and inclusive education practices challenged school physical education and sports programs to be more inclusive of the group. At the same time the rise of disability advocacy brought issues of access and inclusion into the mainstream from local level grassroots sport right through to elite international competition. Since the 1988 Seoul Olympics and Paralympics, disability sport has had international exposure. Beyond the Paralympics, and other disability specific sport events, disability sport has been integrated into the local, regional, national and international world sporting bodies. Yet, managing disability sport is characterised by a series of challenges that are unique to the area. This special edition focuses on Managing Disability Sport rather than the medical, human performance or sociocultural issues facing people with disability in sport. Possible topics include (but are not limited to): • Management and marketing of disability specific sport events (i.e. Paralympic Games; Special Olympics; Deaf Olympics); • Managing disability sport across the inclusion spectrum (segregated to mainstream); • Sport organisation approaches to disability sport delivery; • Managing classification systems; • Disability sport participation patterns; • Legislation and policy related to fostering disability sport initiatives; • Specialist infrastructure, transport and equipment considerations; • Managing Assistive Technology within hodological basis that advances knowledge. Studies using quantitative and/or qualitative or mixed methods approaches are welcomed.
