ABSTRACT Sport and geography may be considered allied and complementary disciplines. They share, variously, interests in ideological and physical spaces, political and socio-cultural processes of space- and place-making, historical dis-/continuities, individual and collective identity formation, demography and topographies and representational practices therein. Sports geography modules may, for example, be taught independently within Geography, Sport Management/Studies/Science, Urban Studies, Development or Liberal Arts programmes, or form a bridge across shared degree/honours courses as a way of attracting an interdisciplinary audience of students. Regardless of institutional “home”, sports geography, affords a rich context for engaging students with critical contemporary issues, global-local analysis, and socio-cultural complexities and social justice concerns. We argue in this paper for a more pronounced place for sports geography – specifically, critical spatial studies – within Sports Management. We draw on our professional and personal experiences teaching sport and geography related courses. We contextualise the teaching of sports geography against wider Higher Education forces. Next we provide pedagogical illustrations of the benefits of a sports geography focus. We offer some recommendations and reflections. Ultimately, we advocate for improved collaboration between Sports Management and Geography fields, and call for continued scholarly and pedagogical symbiosis and play that might produce new and creative interdisciplinary inquiry.

They think it’s all over. Revellers welcome in the New Year 2023 in TV pictures from cities around the globe, no vestige of social distancing apparent. The intermission concluded, normal service resumed. For those of us working in transnational education in China, the interregnum of COVID-19 restrictions lasted longer than anywhere before an abrupt change in policy. The challenge of the rapid pivot to online learning was handled admirably in the circumstances, but now the pivot back to in-person teaching may be equally challenging. They think it’s all over. Back to the classroom. They think it’s all over. What have we, as educators, experienced and learnt from the hiatus? Exasperation or inspiration? Disconnection or reinvention? Disturbance or innovation? Hollowness or thoughtfulness? The pages of pedagogic journals attest to ingenuity, ambition and imagination of educators responding to the difficult challenges of a global pandemic, burgeoning in-trays of journal editors in the process. Across academia, a Web of Science search indicates that over 360,000 journal articles referring to COVID-19 had been published by the end of 2022. Unsurprisingly, over 80,000 contributions are catalogued as virology with two early papers on the clinical characteristics of the new virus accumulating more than 10,000 citations each. More than 200 articles exceed 1,000 citations. Just 2% of these papers are in journals classified as education and educational research, but 22,854 papers refer to COVID-19 and Higher Education. Refining the search to COVID-19 and Higher Education and Geography, 163 papers have been published by end 2022 with more than a quarter of these specifically relating to teaching and learning in a university context. They think it’s all over. Might the melodrama of managing a journal through the pandemic give way to a period of calm? The challenges, particularly in the earlier phases of the pandemic, created a triple whammy. First, perhaps finding the initial interruption to normal academic life an opportunity to reflect and write about interventions and observations in geography education, we experienced a surge in submission rate, 50% above pre-pandemic traffic. Second, the difficulties of recruiting willing referees, for several years a worrying trend, further exacerbated, necessitating additional work from the editorial board to secure peer reviews. Third, as many of our editorial board members, by the nature of their expertise and experience, were first responders for quality assurance and digital transformation of curricula in their respective schools and institutions, capacity for editorial duties was squeezed.

ABSTRACT Geography instructors have a role to play in helping their students to become more information literate. This is especially important today, given the complex and dynamic nature of our informational landscape, and given the evidence that young people lack much of the knowledge that is needed to engage with information critically. This paper reports on the effectiveness of an information literacy module that was included as part of a course on the Geography of the Middle East. It describes the design and rollout of the module, and the results of a study designed to assess the effectiveness of the module and the class on students’ information literacy, and to better understand students’ existing relationship to information about the Middle East. The findings of the study suggest several ways that future iterations of the module might be improved.
