The authors conducted a case study of virtual charity events governed by Team World Vision, the sports arm of a global not-for-profit service organisation. They conducted semi-structured interviews with World Vision marketing managers and virtual running race participants, analysed survey and podcast interview data, and performed a document analysis. Four overarching themes were revealed as drivers of community building: community engagement, social networking, impression management, and fitness philanthropy practicing. The study uncovers the peculiarities of the virtual format that helped build virtual communities and create excitement around the cause, such as digitised communication plans, social media- and technology-facilitated opportunities to connect both locally and globally, and the adapted fundraising strategies in the virtual format.}, journal={JOURNAL OF MARKETING MANAGEMENT}, author={Bunds, Kyle and Tang, Yihui and Koenigstorfer, Joerg}, year={2023}, month={Sep} }

The high-visibility, high-impact nature of elite-level college athletics make athletic departments a central player in the sustainable development journey. However, not all athletic departments respond to this responsibility, nor are all responses uniformly successful. According to national reporting frameworks, an increasing number of universities in the United States are choosing to involve their athletic departments in university-level sustainability governance structures, but the benefits and limitations of this remain unclear. Using the theory of loosely coupled systems, and more specifically, the voice of compensations (which views loose coupling as an unsatisfactory state), the purpose of this paper is to explore perceptions of athletic department engagement in shared sustainability governance, and, thus, a whole-of-institution approach. Semi-structured interviews with sustainability office personnel were conducted and analyzed, and the findings imply that shared sustainability governance has the potential to focus the attention of athletic departments toward sustainability, as well as to reaffirm shared values. Yet, to maximize the impact of athletic departments toward the sustainable development goals of a university, sustainability office personnel suggest the deployment of additional change levers, in a multi-dimensional fashion, as supplementary coupling mechanisms. These would include more rigorous sustainability goals (top-down), continued collaboration on ‘low-hanging fruit’ initiatives (lateral), student-athlete engagement (bottom-up), and the development of an internal sustainability framework (inside-out).}, number={19}, journal={SUSTAINABILITY}, author={Barrett, Martin and Bunds, Kyle S. and Casper, Jonathan M. and Edwards, Michael B. and Showalter, D.

The goal of the present study is to assess the relevance of air quality, noise, green environment, and traffic as well as time and distance considerations on individuals stated walking preferences. In total, 501 US residents participated in an adaptive choice based conjoint study. The following seven attributes were considered (with three levels each): air pollution level, air pollution source, noise level, noise source, natural environment, traffic, as well as walking time and distance. Part-worth utility and relative importance scores were estimated using hierarchical Bayes analyses. Air pollution level was the most important attribute, followed by traffic, noise level, and the natural environment. The findings help identify burdens for walking in urban areas, particularly with regard to air pollution levels and traffic condition (which have a combined relative importance of 41%). Pro-environmentalists select their routes based on both air pollution and noise levels, thus they might be particularly interested in informing themselves about, and monitoring, these attributes.

Urban-centred advertising of rural tourism destinations is a powerful medium in creating hegemony and hierarchy between urban and rural communities. The act of representing rural social geographies through tourism creates discourse which dialectically creates and reinforces the modified social status quo of rural societies. Hence, aiming for social change and to magnify the rural subaltern voice, this article adopted auto-photography as an ethnographic participatory method. Fourteen rural tourism microentrepreneurs from the Piedmont region of North Carolina, United States, participated in self-representational photography of the aspects of life they wished to share with urbanites. Interviews were conducted using participants’ favourite photos as prompts. Critical discourse analysis was employed to identify rural tourism microentrepreneurs’ self-representations that counter urban-normativity.

To examine the case, we employed a key informant interview and document analysis using Nexis Uni searches, local newspaper articles, official city documents, and social media websites. The case study of SC Freiburg’s carbon neutral stadium construction process showed that environmental concerns were included through a political process that incorporated the interests of a diverse public of human and nonhuman actors (while excluding some actors whose interests could not be reconciled) to produce a sustainable matter of fact. Additionally, we propose a pragmatic definition of stadium sustainability and suggest that environmental activists should make sure that both human and nonhuman actors with sustainability concerns are included in the stadium’s material public.}, number={23}, journal={SUSTAINABILITY}, author={Bunds, Kyle S. and McLeod, Christopher M. and Barrett, Martin and Newman, Joshua I. and Koenigstorfer, Joerg}, year={2019}, month={Dec} }

As Domonoske (2017) explains, it was the call of 2 degrees that catalyzed negotiations and moved the proverbial needle toward an accord. In technical terms, 2 degrees Celsius represents the need put forth by climate scientists to limit the global average temperature increase to under 2 degrees if we as a planet are to stave off irreversible global warming and climate catastrophe. Despite objections from some quarters of those in attendance—such as from small island nations whose representatives fought for a more stringent 1.5-degree Celsius limit—the developed world promised USD$100 billion toward greener energy sources as part of radically addressing climate change, and the outline of what became known as The Paris Agreement was formally adopted as part of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (Domonoske, 2017). The world was moving toward saving itself—or so we thought. As scholars whose work, both collectively and individually, is focused on environmental concerns germane to sport and physical culture (see, e.g., Bunds, 2017; Bunds, Casper, Frey, & Barrett, in press; Bunds, Brandon-Lai, & Armstrong, 2016; Casper & Bunds, 2017; Casper & Pfahl, 2015; Casper, Pfahl, & McCullough, 2014), we were well aware that the guidelines put in place would be difficult for every signatory to achieve (e.g., renewable energy sources). However, we believed the Paris Agreement to be a watershed moment in the climate change process, and were heartened to see 196 countries come together to agree on a framework to move forward. Not only that, the science and the process in which that science was rendered had undergone exhaustive review. To provide a sense of what we are talking about, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) developed three working groups to explicitly examine what could be done to understand the physical scientific aspects of climate change, the socio-economic and natural systems to climate change, and the options for mitigating climate change (see, e.g., www.ipcc.ch). The thoroughness of these reports cannot be understated: for example, in the Fifth Assessment Report, which was produced by the first working group (AR5; Stocker, 2014), there were more than 1,000 scientists nominated to participate from 63 countries, ultimately resulting in 600 contributing authors from 32 countries, 209 lead authors, 50 review editors from 39 countries, 2 million gigabytes of physical science numerical data on research related to climate change simulation models, and 9,200 scientific publications cited reviews finding systematic trends indicating that the climate is changing. For AR5, they selected scientists in May of 2010, produced two drafts of the report reviewed first by 659 expert reviewers from 47 countries who filed 21,400 comments, leading to a second draft that was reviewed by experts and government officials leading to 800 expert reviews from 46 countries and 26 governments leaving a total of 31,422 comments. After all of that, the working group distributed the final distribution to 32 governments for review and comments. Finally, the working group review was approved in September of 2013 by members of 195 governments (For more on the process see: http://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar5/ wg1/docs/WG1AR5_FactSheet.pdf). The final 1,552-page report “shows with 95 percent certainty that human activity is the dominant cause of observed warming since the mid-20th century” and “Each of the last three decades has been successively warmer at the Earth’s surface than any preceding decade since 1850” (Stocker, 2014, p. v). Our point in relaying the processes above is that climate change science has not been done flippantly or with political bias. Climate change is an existential threat to the survival of humanity, and exhaustive scholarly attention has yielded concrete responses to this threat. Hope is fleeting, however, and a little over two and a half years after we celebrated the victory for the environment, the following headline struck us like a lightning bolt: “I was elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris.” These now-famous words were spoken by U.S. President Donald Trump in a speech detailing how the United States would be withdrawing from the Paris Agreement. His speech, auspiciously given in the White House rose garden on June 1, 2017, does little in the way of impacting real change given the voluntary nature of the agreement in the first place, but Trump’s words do hold power over decisions at the federal government level, with respect to domestic manufacturing, and in global relationships. And, problematic for a democratic society, such a decision runs counter to prevailing public opinion in the U.S. over this very issue. A survey done by Marlon, Howe, Mildenberger, and Leiserowitz (2017) at Yale University indicates that 70% of U.S. citizens believe global warming is happening, yet only a simple majority (53%) believe it is caused mostly by human activities. Perhaps most importantly, 82% of people believe there should be policies in place to fund research into renewable energy, 75% believe CO2 should be regulated as a pollutant, and 66% believe they policy should require utilities to produce 20% electricity from renewable sources (Marlon et al., 2017).

In this article, we examine the discursive constitution of ‘no-vote subsidies’ within the public sphere, and in particular problematize the twinned production(s) of citizenship and democratic process in framing public subsidization of these sites of private accumulation. To do this, we examine the recent no-vote subsidy occurring in Columbus, Ohio – thereby providing a context-specific interrogation of the mediations of participatory citizenship, political decision-making and the institution of democracy as related to sport stadium funding. As part of this analysis, we discuss the public production of civic paternalism – a political ideology focused on urban growth and unconcerned with future electoral consequences – in the Columbus arena financing case. We conclude the article with a call for increasing scholarly engagement in, and intervention into, the political processes that result in the public subsidization of professional sport venues.}, number={11}, journal={SPORT IN SOCIETY}, author={Kellison, Timothy B. and Newman, Joshua I. and Bunds, Kyle S.}, year={2017}, pages={1548–1564} }

 @article{kellison_bunds_casper_newman_2017, title={Public parks usage near hydraulic fracturing operations}, volume={18}, ISSN={["2213-0799"]}, DOI={10.1016/j.jort.2017.02.006}, abstractNote={Following the advent of hydraulic fracturing to effectively collect natural gas and oil, there has been growing interest in placing exploration and extraction wells in or adjacent to public park and forest systems across North America and Europe. At the heart of the debate about leasing public parkland is the concern that park acreage and accessibility will be lost to fracking operations, thereby decreasing park attendance. In this study, we apply value-belief-norm theory to evaluate park users’ general attitudes toward fracking and public policy and their perceptions of fracking's impact on their recreational activity. A survey of 255 park users in the Appalachian Basin of the United States indicated that individuals holding strong pro-environmental attitudes in general would likely avoid parklands that are affected by fracking operations. Additionally, a majority of respondents reported concern that fracking would disrupt park access and thusly supported legislative bans of fracking in public parklands. This study provides initial insight into park users’ attitudes toward hydraulic fracturing, especially how it relates to their recreational usage. Specially, the results indicate: Park users are concerned that fracking operations near local, state, or national parks would disrupt the accessibility and usage of those parks. Knowledge of fracking and the technological processes behind it is mixed among park users, suggesting that educational outreach efforts may contribute to greater support of or opposition to fracking projects. Local, state, or federal land managers considering leasing public land for oil or gas exploration must work with policymakers and energy operators to mitigate both the actual and perceived impacts on park usage and recreational pursuits. Additional research is necessary to evaluate the degree to which park usage has been impacted by park-proximate fracking operations.}, journal={JOURNAL OF OUTDOOR RECREATION AND TOURISM-RESEARCH PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT}, author={Kellison, Timothy B. and Bunds, Kyle S. and Casper, Jonathan M. and Newman, Joshua I.}, year={2017}, month={Jun}, pages={75–80} }
 @article{bunds_brandon-lai_armstrong_2016, title={An inductive investigation of participants' attachment to charity sports events: the case of team water charity}, volume={16}, ISSN={["1746-031X"]}, DOI={10.1080/16184742.2016.1164212}, abstractNote={ABSTRACT Research question: Charities have begun utilizing sport events as a vehicle for obtaining contributions toward a designated cause and to differentiate themselves in the charity market. Although scholarship has focused on how people attach to a charitable organization, there is a lack of research investigating religiously based international charities. Therefore, this paper examines the attachment of participants in a running event fundraiser for a North American based Christian water charity implementing clean water systems in the developing world. Research methods: Part of a larger ethnography, this study focuses upon semi-structured interviews conducted with charity fundraisers, race participants and charity organizers, before, during, and after the Miami Marathon. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed, and coded both individually and communally by the authors. Results and Findings: Three distinct themes emerged: (1) embodied philanthropy; (2) embodied internalization of the cause; and (3) religiosity and international philanthropy. Theme three was divided into two sub-themes concerning (3a) religious systems of consumer ethics and global citizenship and (3b) participants as conduits for their religion. These themes developed as distinct responses for how individuals connect to an international cause unrelated to their everyday lives and show how a Christian water charity connects water poverty with the values of current and potential fundraisers. Implications: Findings of this study show the important role of embodied action and religiosity in philanthropy. Results contribute to the existing literature on psychological attachment within the sport management literature, while extending the field to include religiously based international charities.}, number={3}, journal={EUROPEAN SPORT MANAGEMENT QUARTERLY}, author={Bunds, Kyle S. and Brandon-Lai, Simon and Armstrong, Cole}, year={2016}, month={Jun}, pages={364–383} }

In recent years, the production of pugilism has emerged in the US as popular—and indeed highly lucrative—features of the media-sport landscape. This paper looks into what we can learn from these 1) deeply corporeal mediations and 2) radically political public pedagogies. Regarding the corporeal dimension, we deconstruct the ways in which bodies—and particularly bodies of the street—are framed within these popular discursive formations. We also explore the ways in which these media representations valorize, and are articulated within, broader political mediations on the underprivileged and “living welfarism”—which largely portray individuals living with homelessness as social welfare “parasites,” drug addicts, or nuisances to a nation's economic growth. We consider how these popular media constructs locate certain bodies as abject and thereby disposable. We conclude by discussing what these public pedagogies tell us not only about public space but most importantly about bodies that inhabit them.}, number={4}, journal={CRITICAL STUDIES IN MEDIA COMMUNICATION}, author={Bunds, Kyle S. and Newman, Joshua I. and Giardina, Michael D.}, year={2015}, month={Aug}, pages={272–286} }
