Call for Presentations

Who benefits from sport? The question in the modern world is complex, and demands inter-disciplinary approaches to its solution. Sport in modernity is an everyday part of leisure lives, an aspirational physical activity or something that gives people a sense of belonging through being sports fans. Sport can be a vehicle for social and economic development, yet the economic and political formations of globalisation and modernity bring the spectre of contracts, deals, profits and the pursuit of glory at the expense of everything good about sport.

This conference, the second global conference on Sport held by IDN, aims to bring together scholars from a wide range of disciplines – sociology, cultural studies, philosophy, history, political studies, urban studies, management and marketing, geography, and psychology and sport science – who are interested in exploring sport’s social, political and economic influences and roles. We are interested in sport’s histories, sport in the here and now and sport’s futures. The project is for cheerleaders of sport, critics of sport, and all those in-between who would like to make a contribution to this inter-disciplinary approach to understanding sport.

We would be interested in research or theory papers on the following themes:

-Sport and social identity

-Youth sport

-Amateur sport

-Ontology of sport

-Ethics and sport

-Sport for development

-Commercialization and sport

-Sport and place

-Sports management and sports marketing

-History of modern sport

-Sport and communities

-Sport and popular culture

-Sport and celebrities

-The politics of sport

-Sports fandom
