Dialogues on Whiteness, Leisure and (Anti)Racism

White Privilege in Experiential Education: A Critical Reflection

“…Certainly, underrepresentation of marginalized populations in various leisure pursuits has problematics (e.g., Gobster, 1998Gobster, , 2002Gomez, 2002;Outley & Floyd, 2002), and the marginality and ethnicity hypotheses (Washburne, 1978) are primary lenses of critique. 6 Only recently have leisure studies scholars begun to unpack the complex and intricate systems that underlie racial privileges (e.g., Kivel, Johnson, & Scraton, 2009;McDonald, 2009;Mowatt, 2009). Contemporary critical leisure research on issues of race does not just seek to understand how "others" recreate and experience leisure but also to address the symbolic and material systems that both privilege and oppress.…”

Off-Colour Landscape: Framing Race Equality in Sport Coaching

“…Specifically, we examine how these processes within sport coaching institutions contribute to (re)producing White dominance and privilege (Author B, 2009;Hylton & Lawrence, 2015;Hylton & Morpeth, 2012;King, 2004;Long & Hylton, 2002;McDonald, 2009;Solórzano & Yosso, 2002). We further expect to inform the approaches taken to implement racial equality and diversity policies in sport coaching, and enable those working within this field to acknowledge how their ideas frame racialised practices.…”

A People’s History of Leisure Studies: Old Knowledge, New Knowledge and The Philadelphia Negro as a Foundational Text

“…A number of researchers have constructed a body of study for us that categorizes research on Race and ethnicity. This insight has generated a volume of research that has raised awareness and understanding on: 1) future directions of Race and ethnicity-based research (Floyd 2007;Stodolska 2000); 2) the importance of past research on Race and ethnicity (Byrne and Wolch 2009;Shinew et al 2006); 3) the impact of the past on current racialized and ethnocentric leisure (Erikson et al 2009;McAvoy 2002;Stodolska and Walker 2007); 4) increased participation or visibility of populations of color (Gomez 2002;Johnson et al 2001;Roberts and Rodriguez 2008;Stodolska and Yi 2003); 5) management approaches and implications in regards to diverse populations (Gobster 2002;Martin 2004;Shinew and Stodolska;Winter et al 2004); 6) theoretical and conceptual models for research on populations on color (Gomez 2002;Stodolska 2005); 7) racial and ethnic constraints in leisure participation and engagement (Floyd and Johnson 2002;Stodolska and Yi-Kook 2005); 8) racial and ethnic differences in gendered leisure activities (Henderson and Ainsworth 2001;Yuen and Pedlar 2009);9) racial and ethnic stratification of leisure participation (Hibbler and Shinew 2002;Lee et al 2001); 10) the impact of Whiteness on leisure conceptualization, engagement, and implementation (Arai and Kivel 2009;Kivel 2005;Long and Hylton 2002;McDonald 2009); and, presenting an international understanding of Race and ethnicity both within home countries and immigrant populations in the Global North into leisure and recreation (Burdsey et al 2013;Floyd and Gramann 1993;Ratna 2...…”
