The Steiner Sports Communication Research Conference is a new, student-focused academic gathering dedicated to traditional and creative scholarship in sports communication. For this inaugural year, the conference is free to attend and will feature student projects exclusively, creating a dynamic, supportive space for emerging voices in the field. Whether your research explores media representation, technology’s influence on sport, or the cultural narratives shaping athletics today, this conference is designed to spotlight your work and spark meaningful conversation.

The body is an intensely personal site for creativity and self-expression, yet even the most unique styles of dress reflect larger communities—people, places, and legacies that we care about and draw inspiration from. Whether we understand them as ‘imagined communities’, ‘communities of practice’, or something else, we as artists, designers, activists, educators, and scholars give to and take from communities. We often make our connections visible through material culture such as clothing, jewelry, headwear, footwear, and body modifications.
