Zotero

The Sports and Society Lab bibliography of adaptive sports literature and films.

The Sports and Society Lab aims to engage and provide academic resources, bridging disability studies concepts with sports participation. The open-access bibliography is drawn from the UCLA Library and Film & Video Collections, which can be found below. This is an ongoing resource list of physical copies of books and films that all UCLA-affiliated students, faculty, and staff can borrow from the library. The topics range from high performance (Paralympics, Special Olympics) to recreation and education in adaptive sports.

Access the Zotero using this link.

Note: We encourage you to connect to a VPN to access the Zotero.  Please use this link for more information on connecting to the UCLA Campus VPN to access the UCLA Library website from off campus.

If you would like to submit a resource for us to share on our Zotero, please send us a message
