There are countless stories of women who have challenged social expectations to accomplish great things in the arts, humanities, medicine, science, sports, politics and the military. Ephemera 40 will focus on the accomplishments of such women around the world and over the centuries contributions to society that have all too often been overlooked.

Ulikhet og ekskludering har vist seg å være en vedvarende problematikk i norsk og internasjonal idrett. Idretten har stor symbolsk makt i dagens samfunn og har derfor stor betydning for våre forestillinger om kjønn og likestilling.

This book collection seeks to contribute to the discussions on horse-human gender and gender performance. It will explore horse-human interactions (and intra-actions) from a theoretically knowledgeable viewpoint, while offering new perspectives on how human and animal gender was created, experienced and performed.

Women in Sport and Physical Activity Journal (WSPAJ) is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal devoted to advancing the understanding of women in sport and physical activity.

The organizers are interested in bringing together scholars who are interested in issues of gender equality in sport.

Callaloo invites complete submissions for a special issue devoted to the interdisciplinary examination of sports. While sports have occupied the global imagination as a source of entertainment, enlightenment, and, above all, opportunity, historically we have seen the importance of black athletes using their celebrity to bring attention to the ills which haunt black life around the world.

This one-day symposium will be of interest to early career researchers and academics from a range of disciplines who are interested in exploring the construction of gendered identity in modern mediated sport, and who would like to make an ongoing contribution to an interdisciplinary understanding of sports media.

We understand “body” in a broad sense, both encompassing but also expanding outside of the (presumed) domains of gender, race, and sexuality to question and destabilize the boundaries of both the human and the national “body”. All disciplines are welcome, but writers must anchor their analysis in a televisual story accessible to US audiences.

The rise of women’s participation in contact sport has made gender inequity and opportunity visible in new ways through public debate about Australian cultural life.
