In this lecture, we will explore the dynamics of working life within the sports sector, drawing on key findings from existing research.
Together, we’ll uncover how intersections between working life studies, sociological perspectives, and sport can offer fresh and fruitful ways to address today’s challenges in the industry.
Topics include
- Precarity and insecurity in sports employment
- The professionalization of roles and responsibilities
- Management practices in sports organizations
- Individualization and its impact on careers
- Unionization and collective representation in the sports industry
This seminar invites you to reflect on how these issues shape the future of sports work—and why they matter for athletes, professionals, and organizations alike.
