About Sociology of Sport Journal

The Sociology of Sport Journal (SSJ) is designed to stimulate and communicate research, critical thought, and theory development on sociology of sport issues. SSJ is the academic journal that sport sociologists, sport psychologists, and coaches look to for research articles, annotated bibliographies, research notes, book reviews, and short papers on curriculum issues. Members of the North American Society for the Sociology of Sport (NASSS) receive SSJ as part of their membership.
