The College Sport Research Institute welcomes the submission of abstracts for its 11th annual CSRI Conference on College Sport to be held at the USC Alumni Center.
The conference’s mission is to
Provide students, scholars, and college-sport practitioners with a public forum to discuss relevant and timely college sport issues.
Submission guidelines
To be considered for acceptance, abstracts must reflect research on college-sport history, social- cultural college-sport issues, legal theory or the application of law to college-sport issues, business-related issues in college sport, or special topics related to current college-sport issues. The research should have reached a fairly complete stage of development, and the abstract should provide enough detail about the research so the reviewers have sufficient information to judge its quality. Abstracts proposing teaching-related sessions on college-sport issues will also be considered, as long as the abstract provides sufficient detail to judge the quality of the proposed session.
Abstracts will undergo a multi-person, blind-review process to determine acceptance.
Abstracts submitted to CSRI should not be concurrently submitted for consideration to another conference. Abstracts submitted by students must have advisor approval. No one person may submit more than two proposals ( this includes co-presenting).
Submission deadline:
Abstracts will be accepted until Tuesday, January 19, 2018 (11:59p.m. EST).
