Abstract

This ESREA conference paper offers an introduction to anti-racist initiatives taking place among young adult and adult association football fans in contemporary Scotland. Considering the current socio-political context nationally and within Scottish association football, the authors assess how to build effective anti-racist interventions and the appropriateness of utilising association football as an educational tool. Chronicling contemporary practice through a case study of anti-racist educational charity Show Racism the Red Card, the authors examine new media and equalities campaigns, before acknowledging the range of contemporary initiatives utilising the popularity of the sport when engaging young adult and adult learners in Scotland.
