Social Justice Through Sport and Exercise Psychology: Intergenerational Voices and An Embodied Approach provides a narration of the history of social justice work in sport and exercise psychology as advanced through the voices of those leaders who have dared to imagine a more just and equitable sporting world. By situating their history through critical genealogy, within an analysis of the larger social relationships of power in both the competitive sporting context and the field of sport and exercise psychology (including patriarchy, sexism, racism, classism, ableism, and homonegativity), an effort is made to illuminate their political lineages and how these individuals utilized social justice theories and critical reflexivity in their work.

The fourfold purpose of this brand new and cutting edge volume is to: 1) frame the critical genealogy and political lineages of leaders in the field of sport and exercise psychology who have promoted social justice in their work; 2) provide an autobiographical sketch for each of the authors that chronicles the ways their life experiences and trajectories have influenced their respective philosophies of social justice; 3) flesh out how those philosophies are evidenced, both implicitly and explicitly, in their work; and 4) illustrate how a social justice framework has informed their respective consulting philosophies.

Social Justice Through Sport and Exercise Psychology: Intergenerational Voices and An Embodied Approach is key reading not only for scholars, students and practitioners in the field of sport and exercise psychology but also those in the subdisciplines of sport sociology, athletic training, and strength and conditioning as well as licensed professional counsellors, licensed clinical social workers, and certified athletic trainers.
