“…This research presents a challenging agenda for sport educators since it reveals how athletes of both sexes can be subjected to sexual Statistics on the scale of the problem are clearly needed to compliment small-scale qualitative work and to create a basis of support for policy development. Most importantly, research on psycho-social processes of sexual exploitation needs to be mapped onto the burgeoning research on the sexual politics of physical education and sport (Griffin 1998;Sykes 1998;Pronger 1998). …”

Recent revelations of sexual misconduct by sports coaches have challenged long-held beliefs in the educational value of sport, yet there is very little knowledge about the dynamics of sexual exploitation in sport upon which to base improvements in the practice of sports coaching or teaching. Earlier inductive research by Brackenridge (1996Brackenridge ( , 1997aBrackenridge ( , 1997b in Britain established a set of hypothesised risk factors for sexual abuse in sport which have subsequently been reinforced by the results of survey research on elite athletes in Canada (Kirby and Greaves 1996). However, risk analysis for sexual abuse in sport has not yet been framed within a temporal or developmental sequence, nor sufficiently differentiated between elite and recreational levels of sport, or between coach-initiated and peer-initiated abuse. This paper reports selected findings from a Dutch qualitative study (Cense 1997) of 14 athletes who have survived sexual abuse in sport. The aim of the study was to identify risk factors that influence sexual abuse and harassment and to analyse which risks might be diminished through a prevention policy implemented by sport organisations. The Dutch study reinforces the earlier risk factor analyses but extends them by putting forward a preliminary temporal model of risk in sport that integrates offender behaviour with athlete and situational factors.On the basis of this model, suggestions are made to assist early diagnosis and prevention of sexual harassment and abuse by authority figures in sport.

“…Sociologists examining the issue of lesbians in sport during the 1980s and 1990s agreed that organized team sports were normally characterized as highly homophobic organizational cultures (Griffin, 1998;Hekma, 1998;Lenskyj, 1986;Sykes, 1998;Veri, 1999). However, since 1993 (Loftus, 2001) homophobia has been in rapid decline, both within sport and society more broadly (Anderson, 2009(Anderson, , 2011a(Anderson, , 2011bMcCormack, 2012).…”

Sociologists who examine the issue of lesbians in American sport in the 1980s and 1990s normally found overt and covert mechanisms of social discrimination.However, homophobia has been on a rapid decline over previous decades, and studies show attitudes toward female homosexuality in sport have improved since the research conducted on lesbian athletes in the mid-1990s. This article uses data collected between that epoch and current studies to analyze athletic narratives of openly lesbian team sport athletes in 2002. We find no universal pattern for the treatment of openly lesbian athletes existed in this era of decreasing homohysteria. However, as with gay men in sport at the time, athletic capital influenced who came out, and heterosexism was prominent.

“…Los inicios de la investigación narrativa en el ámbito de la educación física y el deporte se encuentran en las historias de vida del profesorado de educación física que se ocupaban de explorar y comprender sus carreras profesionales y ciclos vitales (SIKES, 1988;TEMPLIN, 1992;GRANT;SCHEMPP, 1994;SCHEMPP, 1991), sus condiciones de trabajo (MACDONALD, 1999;MACDONALD;KIRK, 1996) y sus identidades profesionales (ARMOUR, 1997;DOWLING-NAESS, 1996), de género y sexualidad (CLARKE, 1997;SQUIRES;SYKES, 1998). Estos primeros estudios, centrados en las experiencias del profesorado, se extendieron al alumnado escolar (HICKEY;FITZCLARENCE, 1999;OLIVER, 1999) y universitario (DEVÍS-DEVÍS; SPARKES, 1999).…”

“…La investigación narrativa que se ocupa de las voces de colectivos discriminados ha seguido desarrollándose posteriormente (BERG SVENDBY;DOWLING, 2012;FITZGERALD;STRIDE, 2012;GROVES;LAWS, 2003;MAIVORSDOTTER;LUNDVALL, 2009;RICH, 2004;SYKES;GOLDSTEIN, 2004;WRENCH;GARRETT, 2012). Pero también se observa un interés creciente por estudios auto-narrativos que se ocupan de experiencias subjetivas diversas y de corporalidades individuales.…”
