På vilka sätt kan idrott bidra till förbättrade livssituationer för placerade unga? Denna avhandling undersöker idrottspedagogik på särskilda ungdomshem, baserad på etnografi på två ungdomshem för pojkar i Sverige. En teoretisk utgångspunkt är att ungdomshem kan betraktas som pedagogiska praktiker, där i första hand utbildning och lärande sker. Avhandlingen beskriver och analyserar ungdomarnas levda erfarenheter av idrott och hur de kan relateras till olika syften och praktiker som framträder i idrottsaktiviteter på särskilda ungdomshem.

This conference will be an opportunity to take our prosopographical perspective further, with an emphasis on figures from these forgotten groups. As this panel is meant to understand the position of women within major sporting institutions, it will welcome biographies, as well as network presentations or collective biographies of women.

Human-horse relations transgress the boundaries between rider and horse, researcher and researched, certainty and uncertainty. This presents profound ethnographic challenges. Presenters will explore their responses to these challenges.

Sports, games, play – they represent a major part of our lives. Some activities have been around in various forms for centuries, some for just a few years.  The ephemera of “The Sporting Life” tells us about how our lives and our passions have  evolved over time, what has consumed us and what has been a passing fancy.  Sports, games...
