I den här podden, som startade hösten 2019, publicerar vi regelbundet korta avsnitt för att uppdatera hur projektet ”Super-extra-mega-ultralopp: Deltagande i extrema motionslopp som kulturellt fenomen” framskrider, var i processen vi befinner oss, pröva tolkningar, osv. Tanken är att den både ska fungera som ett sätt att sprida resultat och hålla kontakt med ”fältet”, men också som ett pedagogiskt sätt att visa och berätta hur ett kvalitativt, kulturvetenskapligt forskningsprojekt av det här slaget kan gå till.

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.

This book will present an overview of the increasing shift within global, elite-level women’s sport to move towards professionalisation.  Each case study included in the collection will highlight the complex, multi-faceted and at times problematic nature of women’s involvement in professional sport.  The collection will pay attention to the intersectional nature of women’s varied experiences in professional spor.

This volume defines strength sports as activities in which the competition outcomes depend exclusively on the individual capacity to move weight. We are seeking submissions across disciplines and thus, from a variety of vantage points, this edited volume will map the ideological landscape of strength sports to understand its potential for insurgent gender practices and the importance for studying sport for feminist social change.

The books in this series will examine our understanding of race, gender, and the role education is playing in assisting in the global institutionalization of these social constructions. The goal of this series is to inform sport enthusiasts, college students, social justice oriented educators and researchers, policy makers, and other stakeholders about the role sport has in contributing to informing cultural ideology.
