Reviewing the AFL’s Vilification Laws

The book presents research from an Australian Research Council project by reviewing the AFL’s anti vilification policy, Rule 35. This was done by both surveying and interviewing the coaches and players from 9 AFL clubs across Australia. The three authors are based in Australia, and their work pertains to the uniquely domestic game of Australian Rules football. The outcomes from the research vectors look at and engage with key issues about race, diversity and difference as it pertains to the elite AFL code but also looks at the on-going international conversation as it pertains to these themes in sport.
