Abstract
The central purpose throughout this paper is to revisit the ways that sport psychology researchers, educators, and practitioners have (or have not) used a cultural studies perspective to enhance their research and applied work since we first wrote about this issue (Fisher, Butryn, & Roper, 2003). We suggested in our previous review that key cultural studies concepts such as privilege, power, and praxis could be utilized by sport psychology professionals. In line with Sage (1993), we also promoted an "athletes-as-citizens" model of service provision in the applied setting. In this paper, we review sport psychology literature published in the last five years which focuses on privilege, power and power dynamics, praxis, and promoting "athletes-as-citizens" (Sage, 1993). We also describe a recent study (Butryn, 2008) related to graduate students' experiences of wrestling with a cultural studies of sport curriculum and summarize our sense of progress to date.
