This volume covers current issues, cutting-edge debates and new knowledge on women and sport. The range of topics extends from female coaches and women in sport to sexual harassment, from snowboarders to schoolgirls, and from physical education to football. The aim of this book is to provide an overview of the current debates on gender and sport from a women's perspective, to share new knowledge about important issues, in particular about gender (in)equalities, and to present insights into the causes and effects of the debates and developments in the arena of women's sport. A special focus in all chapters will be on the perspective of change, and backgrounds, reasons and effects of gender arrangements will be analyzed by scholars who made major contributions to the development of a new gender order in sport and society. Other authors are younger scholars with new perspectives and approaches - who represent the new generation of gender researchers. I like to recommend the book since the quality of the various contributions, based on empirical data and embedded in sound theoretical frameworks, is generally good. - Inge Caringbould in: European journal for Sport and Society, 1/2014 The input from the most important authors from this field of research, the empirical character and currency of the research, together with the abundant references to the most recent literature in each chapter are perhaps the most useful aspects of the book. The publication certainly suggests directions for future research and identifies the main challenges for women in sport. As such it is relevant not only to researchers but also to practitioners working on gender and sport. Finally, it is worth noting that the authors are very active both as academics and in sports. Many of them were or still are involved with professional sport. These facts make the book an excellent example of feminist praxis. - Honorata Jakubowska in: International Review for the Sociology of Sport, 49/2014 Im vorliegenden Band werden gegenwärtige Fragen, Vorreiterdebatten und neue Erkenntnisse einer genderkritischen Sportwissenschaft gebündelt und ein aktueller Einblick in die zentralen Diskussionen des Fachs gegeben. So ist die Auswahl der Autor/-innen aus älteren und jüngeren Generationen breit gefächert. Ebenso vielfältig sind die den einzelnen Beiträgen übergeordneten Themenbereiche. - Sebastian Nestler querelles-net, 3/2014

This book provides a comprehensive guide to the latest research on the nonverbal cues that signal our biological sex, gender, and sexual orientation to others, as well as our sexual/romantic interest in others. Crucially, it is a volume which incorporates critical perspectives which help to tackle the short-comings associated with the predominant focus on cis-gender, heterosexual individuals . It underscores how specific cues work in conjunction with other cues during the communication of our gendered and sexual selves, and how various factors (cultural, contextual, social, personality variables) impact that process. It also addresses common misconceptions including the notion that the romantic landscape has become more sexualized and predominantly technology driven. This book highlights that we still tend to communicate a romantic interest in each other in quite traditional places, such as school, home, and social events, using tried-and-true nonverbal cues, like gazing and smiling. Across six chapters readers will learn about the cues to our gendered and sexual selves, which exist in our facial and bodily movements, dress, personal artifacts, gestures, body odor, vocal characteristics, touch, and posture, amongst others. This engaging work presents historical and contemporary research findings that will appeal to students and scholars of nonverbal communication, communication studies, the psychology of gender, and sexuality studies. Terrence G. Horgan is Myron and Margaret Winegarden Professor and Professor of Psychology at the University of Michigan-Flint. He is a coauthor of Nonverbal Communication in Human Interaction (Knapp, Hall, & Horgan, 2021) and a former associate editor for the Journal of Nonverbal Behavior. He has published numerous research articles and chapters dealing with a variety of topics in nonverbal communication, including appearance accuracy (memory for non-verbal cues linked to appearance), behavioral mimicry, decoding accuracy (the ability to interpret nonverbal cues accurately), sexual objectification, and the communication of romantic interest.
