Abstract

Amid continuous repressive measures against diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in higher education institutions in the United States and beyond, this paper centers the notion of solidarity among Black and Asian scholars in sport management. Built upon historical and contemporary iterations of Black–Asian solidarity and with individual autobiographical sketches, the authors highlight how their scholarly praxis has been challenged/enriched by a deepened understanding of shared struggles. Recognizing the limitations of mainstream positioning of Black and Asian peoples in sport management, we invite colleagues in the field to consider strategies of resistance to produce knowledge that is epistemologically relevant and axiologically accountable, to make our classrooms less alienating and more humanizing, and to practice forms of solidarities from below.
