Det var i 1997, at Jens Sejer Andersen tog initiativ til den første konference for journalister og andre med interesse for idrættens økonomi, kultur, politik og andre oversete emner. Hurtigt blev Play the Game et ’hjem for de hjemløse spørgsmål i sport’: Emner som korruption i de internationale idrætsforbund, organiseret doping, matchfixing, seksuelle overgreb og krænkelser af menneskerettighederne ved store events.

Sport occupies a central position in Irish social and cultural life, yet a relatively marginal position within the academy. This symposium aims to bring together sports scholars from across the humanities and social sciences whose work is variously concerned with the contemporary and historical cultural significance of sport, and which deals with the interplay between sport, the media and cultural industries and the lived experience of sport as popular culture in Ireland and across the Irish diaspora.

The IACS Summit is the only stand-alone conference for communication researchers interested in exploring sport from diverse critical, methodological, theoretical, and multi-disciplinary perspectives. The Summit welcomes submissions from all methodological and theoretical perspectives. This year’s Summit will be hosted by Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey, USA, with special events taking place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The seminar wants to bring together scholars from all kinds of disciplines as well as practitioners that share the interest in the media-based communication of sport. Consequently, submissions may be rooted also in sports politics, sports economy, sports management, sports technology, sports sociology, and sports practice itself. In the seminar, we strive to include a diversity of theoretical and methodical approaches to sports communication and give voice to researchers from all parts of Europe.

We invite you to consider presenting at the 2021 Summit on Communication and Sport, the only stand-alone conference for communication researchers interested in exploring sport from diverse critical, methodological, and multi-disciplinary perspectives. The Summit on Communication and Sport welcomes submissions from all methodological and theoretical perspectives. This year’s summit will be completely virtual.

While the concept of authenticity has a long history, in recent years it has emerged as a prominent theme in many of the most pressing debates about contemporary communication and culture. We therefore invite paper proposals from any disciplinary background. We are interested in a broad range of papers exploring authenticity and abstract submissions addressing authenticity, e.g. authenticity in sports.

Photographs of sport, and of its most popular athletes, have long been essential not only to sports reporting but also to the commercial exploitation of professional sport. To coincide with our forthcoming exhibition of the football photography of the photojournalist Peter Robinson, this colloquium aims to contribute to a scholarly and critical engagement with the relationship between photography and sport.

We invite you to consider presenting at the 2020 Summit on Communication and Sport. The IACS Summit is the only standalone conference for communication researchers interested in exploring sport from diverse critical, methodological, and multi-disciplinary perspectives. We encourage you to submit papers that confirm, question, or critique the role of communication and sport on the horizon of a new decade.

The aim of this conference is to provide a platform for the knowledge exchange between scholars (from a range of disciplines), stakeholders, and practitioners who are united by a focus on sports media. The event will take stock of the current position by examining notable case studies from the recent past, and aims to foster new inter- and/or post-disciplinary trajectories and scholarship/practitioner collaborations.
