    Call for Participants | Theresa Walton-Fisette: โ€œCollegiate Athletics: What Does the Data Show? And, Does it Matter to Decision Makers?โ€ | Iowa Colloquium on Sport and Culture, 2025 Birrell-Parratt...

    In this talk, Theresa Walton-Fisette will outline two different lines of current research examining data related to collegiate athletics. One line focuses on the Mid-American Conference, examining the economic realities of mid-major conferences, with more than 50% of athletic department budgets supported by student fees or direct institutional support. The other line of research examines the impact of conference realignment and football success on enrollment. Preliminary findings demonstrate that neither conference realignment nor football success has a statistically significant impact on enrollment.

    Call for Participants | Daniel Nathan: โ€œThe Negro League Baseball Renaissance: Prelude to a Conversationโ€ | Iowa Colloquium on Sport and Culture. Webinar on Zoom, Friday April 12, 2024

    This talk examines some of the multifaceted aspects of the Negro league baseball renaissance. It documents the Negro league revival, which has been expressed in myriad, sometimes surprising forms, and considers some of its cultural and historical sources. My comments, however, are just a prelude to a public conversation I want to have with people attending the Colloquium. What do people think it means that so many people are now (relatively) knowledgeable about long forgotten or neglected Black baseball teams and players?

    Call for Participants | Jesรบs Costantino: โ€œFriday Nights Live: Television and Prizefighting in the Post-Segregation Eraโ€ | Iowa Colloquium on Sport and Culture. Webinar on Zoom, Friday November 10,...

    The relationship between postwar television broadcast and the Civil Rights Movement is complex. In an effort to untangle some of this fraught history, this talk examines the entanglements between live television broadcasts and interracial prizefighting in the 1950s and 1960s. Looking at the history of live prizefight broadcast as well as the TV and film versions of Rod Serlingโ€™sย Requiem for a Heavyweightย (produced in 1956 and 1962, respectively), the talk analyzes the ways live broadcast technology was shaped by (and shaped in turn) the post-segregation racial regime.

    Call for Participants | Dunja Antunovic: โ€œTime to Award Medals? Agenda Diversity in Media Coverage of the Olympicsโ€ย | Iowa Colloquium on Sport and Culture. Webinar on Zoom, October 6,...

    In this talk, I examine the implications of social media platforms in relation to agenda diversity during the Olympic Games. I overview recent datapoints on representations of sport, gender, and national identity from multiple contexts (e.g., United States, Australia, Slovenia, Croatia, and Hungary) to illustrate that nationalism continues to be a driving force in coverage, albeit with local particularities. I problematize notions of โ€œgender equalityโ€ in media representations that obscure gendered nationalism and perpetuate โ€œus versus themโ€ divisions.

    Call for Participants | โ€œDoping and amateur athletesโ€, online Short Talk, free of charge | June 22, 2023, at 17:00 CEST

    Neyond the realm of professional sports, doping is common in gyms and recreational sports, spreading among amateur athletes. These amateur athletes are rarely subjected to anti-doping polices and controls, less even to prevention and information sessions. Their medical supervision cannot be compared either to the support that professional athletes get. We invite you to join our next webinar, co-hosted with the Human Enhancement Drugs Network (HEDN), on amateur athletes and doping.

    Call for Participants | Shelley Lucas & Laura Frances Chase: โ€œWomenโ€™s Mountain Biking History and Cultureโ€ย | Iowa Colloquium on Sport and Culture. Webinar on Zoom, April 7, 2023

    In this presentation, we will share elements of our work-in-progress about the history and culture of womenโ€™s mountain biking.ย One of the goals of this book project is to make visible the historical experiences of women in mountain biking, but to go beyond simply adding womenโ€™s experiences to the broader history of mountain biking. Rather, we seek to examine the ways in which womenโ€™s participation altersย the stories/narratives that are told about mountain biking history and fundamentally changes the space of mountain biking.
