    Livestreamad disputation | På skidor i kulturella gränsland: Samiska spår i skidsportens historia av Isak Lidström, Malmö universitet, den 10 september 2021

    Det övergripande syftet med Isak Lidströms avhandling är att belysa den moderna skidsportens samiska historia i Sverige utifrån organisations- och kulturhistoriska perspektiv som tar avstamp i begreppen nation och etnicitet. Det handlar med andra ord om att diskutera olika identitetsmässiga relationer som tagit sig uttryck inom organiserad skididrott. I fokus står organisatoriska utvecklingslinjer, nyckelhändelser och -personer ur vilka de kulturella markörer för samiskhet och svenskhet kan friläggas som konstruerats och omförhandlats över tid.

    Call for Papers | “Indigenous Voices Matter: Theory, Practice & Research in Sport for Development”, Special Issue of Journal of Sport for Development. Call ends December 1, 2021

    Call for Papers | “Racialisation, colonisation and gender in Nordic sports” | Kjønnsforskning NÅ! [Gender Research NOW], Online Conference, May 27–28, 2021. Call ends March 15, 2021

The main focus of academic work on sport and in/exclusion has tended to focus on gender and/or ethnicity as the primary markers of difference and sameness. In this, questions of racism and coloniality have largely been overlooked, and left underexplored.

    Call for Papers | “Sport Sociology and the Responsibility for Decolonial Praxis: Decolonizing Minds, Indigenizing Hearts”. The 2019 Annual Conference for the North American Society for the Sociology of...

    To challenge the ongoing realities of settler colonialism, decolonization starts by becoming critically aware of institutional whiteness, heteropatriarchy, manifestations of racisms and how they work to maintain settler colonialism. This centers Indigenous Peoples’ interests, theory, methodology, pleasures, and desires, and rights since settler colonialism obscures them.
