We are delighted to announce that we will be holding the latest edition of the Culture, Sport and Society PhD Course in November 2024. Previously held at Universities including the University of South Eastern Norway and Umeå University, Sweden, the latest course will offer a range of topical sessions, workshops and student-led presentations and discussions.
Course content
Sport (including Idræt) is an increasingly vibrant and important area of social and cultural life and is therefore a central study subject in itself. The study of sport enables us to gain a much deeper understanding of society and culture in general, especially concerning meaning, power, technology, cultural production and cultural politics.
The course will emphasize how the individual doctoral student can improve their scientific skills in order to carry out their own research projects and participate in public and academic debates in relation to sport studies, thereby offering the potential to have a significant impact upon society. The course is particularly intended to stimulate ethical, innovative and creative perspectives on sport and culture, while at the same time realizing the responsibility and autonomy of being a researcher.
The course will take a cross-disciplinary, social scientific approach to understanding key debates and areas of research within the social-scientific study of sport, and will include multiple experts and thought-leaders from across disciplines such as sociology, psychology, pedagogy, sport management, history, geography, and policy. The course will have an emphasis upon community impact, international collaboration (both between universities and students) and digitalization.
