“…Librarians engaged in bolstering sustainability studies face similar challenges by virtue of the interdisciplinary, emerging nature of the field. 17 Madeleine Charney highlights this challenge in the broader context of creating campus partnerships with the library in service of sustainability studies. 18 The scholarly literature demonstrates, in several areas, the challenges and opportunities inherent in library engagement with interdisciplinary research.…”

This paper sets out to identify the ways in which academic libraries can further interdisciplinary scholarship on campus. The medical humanities is presented as an example to interrogate the current practices in academic libraries and to inform future efforts in support of interdisciplinarity. Text mining was employed to illuminate trends in this interdisciplinary field using program descriptions from universities with "very high research activity" as a data set for analysis. Based on these data, this article proposes best practices and opportunities for engagement in the medical humanities that may be applicable to other interdisciplinary fields served by research libraries.

Not unlike the sport industry, the majority of sport management students in the United States are White, middle-class males. As women in male-dominated academic departments experience gender harassment more frequently than women in balanced or female-dominated departments, the purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of sport management doctoral students with gender microaggressions and stereotype threat by gender to examine if such experiences occur at this stage in academia. The results indicate that female students experience gender microaggressions of being excluded, being treated like a second-class citizen, and being placed in restrictive roles by program faculty due to their gender more frequently than male students. This study provides clarity into issues affecting female doctoral student progression postgraduation in sport management. In addition, this study provides context around the student experience in doctoral programs across male-dominated academic disciplines.

The purpose of this research was to examine undergraduate sport management internship requirements and policies in the United States. The authors identified 290 institutions in the United States offering undergraduate programs in sport management using the North American Society for Sport Management (NASSM) website. Of those institutions, 195 met the criteria for the study and were emailed surveys. Seventy-two surveys were completed which accounted for a 36% return rate. The majority of undergraduate sport management internship programs are comprised of the following required elements: 11-12 credit hours, which equates to 200-300 contact hours taken in the senior year (one semester) that requires a prior field experience; written weekly reports by the interns, a special project, and two site supervisor evaluations are used to assess and evaluate student performance. Concerning, the faculty role in internship supervision, 38% of respondents stated that they receive a one academic course release, regardless of how many interns are under their supervision. The current study suggests that sport management internship requirements and procedures vary between universities in the United States. The findings of this study paint a unique and evolving picture of the current state of sport management internship curriculum.
