Prof. Burrmann erforscht derzeit gesellschaftspolitische Einstellungen und demokratische Orientierungen von Sportvereinsmitgliedern in Deutschland, mit besonderem Fokus auf junge Menschen, ehrenamtlich Engagierte und regionale Unterschiede. Sie untersucht, wie Sportvereine als Orte zivilgesellschaftlichen Engagements und demokratischer Partizipation funktionieren, welche Barrieren für Engagement in ländlichen Räumen bestehen, und welche Rolle Sportvereine im Aufwachsen von Kindern und Jugendlichen spielen – insbesondere im Hinblick auf soziale Ungleichheit und Zugang. Ihre Arbeiten liefern empirische Grundlagen für Politikempfehlungen zur Stärkung von Vereinsstrukturen und zur Förderung von Inklusion im organisierten Sport, relevant für Sportverbände, Kommunen und Bundesministerien.

• Ethnic identities, sense of belonging and the significance of sport: stories from immigrant youths in Germany

  2017

  European Journal for Sport and Society · DOI

  Germany is becoming a multicultural society with a growing migrant population. Issues of social integration and societal cohesion are ongoing themes in public debates. In this regard, sport is often considered as a tool for fostering integration and a sense of belonging among migrants. This paper uses a qualitative methodology to explore the complex and multilayered entanglements and intersections between sports activities and feelings of belonging. Four case studies illustrate that sport can have manifold meanings and consequences for young people. It may work as means of emancipation (Büsra’s story), but also reassert traditional values (Nasan’s story). It can stabilize and provide hold in times of insecurity (Dejan’s story) and may work as a source for reputation and respect in a disadvantaged social milieu (Youssuf’s story). However, all four case studies highlight the ambivalence and inner conflicts that these immigrant youths have to face in sport and society. Moreover, they suggest that it is not sport per se, but the experiences of success and self-efficacy that result from athletic talent in combination with positive social interactions with ‘significant others’ in sport that matter.

• In whom do we trust? The level and radius of social trust among sport club members

  2018

  International Review for the Sociology of Sport · DOI

  This paper refers to the widespread notion that voluntary (sport) organizations produce social capital, popularized through the works of Robert D. Putnam, and compares social trust levels of sport club members with members in other voluntary associations and non-members. We differentiate between in-group trust and out-group trust, highlighting that not only the level of trust but also the “trust radius” counts for social cohesion in modern societies. Refining Putnam’s claims, we argue that social trust among members varies with the quality and intensity of participation captured (for instance, through volunteering), diverse social contacts and the level of membership trust experienced in an association. Based on a nation-wide survey, carried out in Germany during 2017/2018, it is demonstrated that members of civic associations indicate higher levels of trust towards in-groups and out-groups compared to non-members and they regard present society as more solidary and trusting. A fine-grained analysis among members of associations further shows that increased trust is typical for volunteers and individuals in socially diverse associations which, at the same time, are characterized by high levels of membership trust. We conclude that sports clubs need to provide beneficial context conditions for producing high levels and a wider radius of trust.
