Book excerpt: El deporte es una de las herramientas más potentes para garantizar la igualdad de oportunidades y la inclusión social de personas pertenecientes a colectivos vulnerables, tales como personas con discapacidad, personas mayores, personas en riesgo de exclusión social o que viven bajo el umbral de la pobreza, entre otras. Uno de los proyectos que aborda la temática de la inclusión a través del deporte es el Proyecto DISCIPLINS, financiado por la Comisión Europea a través del programa Erasmus+. Este proyecto aborda la inclusión social a través de intervenciones educativas específicas basadas en el deporte en el marco de la educación superior y en cooperación con organizaciones deportivas. En su estrategia de innovación, desarrolla un programa común de formación de expertos a través de intervenciones deportivas dirigido a estudiantes universitarios interesados en este campo de intervención, así como a educadores, trabajadores sociales, jóvenes, entrenadores y profesionales que trabajan en organizaciones que se ocupan de la inclusión social y el deporte. Por ello, este proyecto se une a los esfuerzos de aquellos proyectos de investigación educativa que persiguen el desarrollo de innovaciones con trascendencia social. Asimismo, también en esta obra se analizan diferentes herramientas, estrategias y propuestas de inclusión a través del deporte llevadas a cabo en diferentes países y contextos, tales como Italia o Finlandia, en los que se destaca la presencia de personas con capacidades diferentes, por lo que se habla de experiencias de deporte inclusivo.

Download or read book Football Community and Social Inclusion written by Daniel Parnell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This special issue addresses the complex reality of English community football organisations, including Football in the Community (FitC) schemes, which have been attending to social agendas, such as social inclusion and health promotion. The positioning of football as a key agent of change for this diverse range of social issues has resulted in an increase in funding support. Despite the increased availability of funding and the (apparent) willingness of football clubs to adopt such an altruistic position within society, there remains limited empirical evidence to substantiate football’s ability to deliver results. This book explores the current role of a football and football clubs in supporting and delivering social inclusion and health promotion to its community and seeks to examine the philosophical, political, environmental and practical challenges of this work. The power and subsequent lure of a football club and its brand is an ideal vehicle to entice and capture populations that (normally) ignore or turn away from positive social and/or health behaviours. The foundations of such a belief are examined, outlining key recommendations and considerations for both researchers and practitioners attending to these social and health issues through the vehicle of football. This book was originally published as a special issue of Soccer & Society.
Download or read book Routledge Handbook of the Global South in Sport for Development and Peace written by Billy Graeff and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-07-18 with total page 749 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the field of Sport for Development and Peace (SDP), putting Global South voices and perspectives at the centre of the analysis. Covering a wide range of thematic and methodological areas that inform existing and emerging discourses in SDP, it represents an unparalleled resource for researchers and practitioners working in this area. Arranged into geographical sections covering Africa, Asia, South America, North America and Oceania, the book presents original research in Global South countries or by Global South researchers and practitioners, sometimes in collaboration with colleagues from the Global North. It highlights practices and theories created, developed, interpreted and reinterpreted by people who belong to the communities where these sporting experiences have been taking place, and whose critical reflections and experiences have yet to gain attention in international academic and practitioner communities in the English language. The book presents the views of diverse stakeholders, programme participants, promoters, coaching staff, volunteers, researchers, teachers, lecturers and other actors that have been difficult to access for researchers who do not usually speak languages other than English. A landmark publication in the field of SDP, this book is essential reading for any advanced student, research, practitioner or policy-maker with an interest in the value of sport in international development.
Download or read book Banished to the Homeland written by David Brotherton and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1996 U.S. Immigration Reform and Responsibility Act has led to the forcible deportation of tens of thousands of Dominicans from the United States. Following thousands of these individuals over a seven-year period, David C. Brotherton and Luis Barrios use a unique combination of sociological and criminological reasoning to isolate the forces that motivate emigrants to leave their homeland and then commit crimes in the Unites States violating the very terms of their stay. Housed in urban landscapes rife with gangs, drugs, and tenuous working conditions, these individuals, the authors find, repeatedly play out a tragic scenario, influenced by long-standing historical injustices, punitive politics, and increasingly conservative attitudes undermining basic human rights and freedoms. Brotherton and Barrios conclude that a simultaneous process of cultural inclusion and socioeconomic exclusion best explains the trajectory of emigration, settlement, and rejection, and they mark in the behavior of deportees the contradictory effects of dependency and colonialism: the seductive draw of capitalism typified by the American dream versus the material needs of immigrant life; the interests of an elite security state versus the desires of immigrant workers and families to succeed; and the ambitions of the Latino community versus the political realities of those designing crime and immigration laws, which disadvantage poor and vulnerable populations. Filled with riveting life stories and uncommon ethnographic research, this volume relates the modern deportee's journey to broader theoretical studies in transnationalism, assimilation, and social control.

Book excerpt: The study of association football has recently emerged as vibrant field of inquiry, attracting scholars worldwide from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds. "Soccer As the Beautiful Game: Football’s Artistry, Identity and Politics," held at Hofstra University in April 2014, gathered together scholars, media, management, and fans in the largest ever conference dedicated to the game in North America. This collection of essays provides a comprehensive view of the academic perspectives on offer at the conference, itself a snapshot of the state of this increasingly rich scholarly terrain. The diversity of approaches range from theory to pedagogy to historical and sociological engagements with the game at all levels, from the grassroots to the grand spectacle of the World Cup, while the international roster of authors is testimony to the game’s global reach. This collection of essays therefore offers a state of the field for soccer studies and a road map for further exploration. The chapters originally published as a special issue in Soccer & Society.

The book begins with an introductory section that gives an overview of the rationale of the text and the diversity of sport volunteers in general. From there, the book's 25 chapters each discuss a specific country case study provided by researchers from the respective country. These studies provide a comprehensive overview of volunteering in each country, such as motivations of volunteers, satisfaction of volunteers, their perceived cost and benefits, and many other areas related to the overall study. By having twenty-five different countries represented and a native of each country authoring the respective chapters, this book serves as a comprehensive and diverse review of sports volunteering around the world and can be incorporated into courses in economics - particularly those dealing with sports economics - and can also be used as a reference for volunteer organizations and sports economists worldwide.
