The purpose of the British Philosophy of Sport Association is to provide avenues and opportunities for those interested in philosophical issues in sport; to present their ideas and network with others. We hold an annual conference, with a tri-annual joint conference with the European Association for the Philosophy of Sport, and have members from across the world (you do not have to be British or live in the UK to join). As part of the membership fee you will receive four print editions of the esteemed Sport, Ethics and Philosophy journal published by Routledge (details on becoming a member can be found in the membership section). We are a friendly and welcoming association and look forward to seeing you at one of our events – and why not at the upcoming conference in Oxford 2019!
