    Tag: Conferences: Island Games

    Call for Papers | Sport, “islands”, people, and politics. A one-day conference at the St Magnus Centre, Kirkwall, Orkney | June 28, 2025. Call ends November 15, 2024

    The 40-year history of the Island Games and the International Island Games Association (IIGA) has featured a variety of non-sovereign polities, territories, dependencies, autonomous regions, council areas, and even formerly (in the case of Iceland and Malta) independent nations. These are places which sit at peripheries of national and international governance – and often supranational imagination. The neglect within media of th Games is reflected by academic literature: sport, politics, and the histories of sport in these places are rarely discussed.
