This conference arises from the desire to promote a dynamic, interdisciplinary, and revitalized discussion on football fandom and supporter culture. The objective is not merely to share case studies deepening our understanding of these social practices already outlined into the advocated four key areas of focus, but also to reflect on the intricate ways in which they interact with various aspects of the current world. Shifting our initial analytical focus to fans’ commitment and involvement with their clubs can offer a fresh perspective on what we can perceive as the constitutive processes of contemporary communities.

The presence of queer people in various domains/spaces pertaining to art is quite visible, though liminal, like academics, arts, films, etc. However, when we try to examine about/of the spaces where the sexually and gender-wise marginalised people are not much ‘visible,’ one finds that sports is one such space, where there is a lacuna. Thus, to ruminate on, understand and discuss the reasons for this lacuna we present this Call for Papers to a conference which will deal with issues and concerns of marginal sections, gender-wise and sexuality, in the sports spaces.

At the International Network of Sport Anthropology, we recognise the need to challenge the hegemonic force of sport. We invite researchers from all related disciplines to consider how we might place sport more appropriately in context, seek to re-place it elsewhere, or indeed replace it altogether. We challenge researchers to consider more closely what sport is, including recognising that the very idea of ‘sport’ now permeates much of social life, affecting the ways definitions are formed.

The 2024 annual International Football History Conference will take place at Cardiff City Football Club, Cardiff, Wales and will be held over two days (June 7–8, 2024). This is a call for papers to be presented at the conference. There will be an opportunity to present on any topic relating to the history of football of all codes. Keynote speaker is Florence Ayisi, a Professor of International Documentary Film at the Faculty of Creative Industries, University of South Wales, best known for films on women playing soccer in Zanzibar.

The Event Management Conference (EMC) aims to delve into the most pressing societal and economic issues associated with event studies, whether that’s past, present, or future. EMC welcomes those studying various types of events, in different settings, and across a wide range of disciplines, and the various contributions we seek to include – from research talks, fireside chats, roundtable discussions, stimulating debates to compelling keynote speaker presentations, and more!

The School of Kinesiology and Health Studies at Queen’s University invites all those interested in socio-cultural studies of sport and exercise to join our day conference, held in the memory of our colleague Dr. Donald Macintosh (1931–1994). The conference will be held in person with COVID precautions in place. The programme will consist of several sessions of graduate student presentations, a catered lunch, and the annual Donald Macintosh Memorial Lecture.

Over the last year, the Sports Media Identity Network has been working with a range of academics and sports media professionals to identify best practice and recommendations for sports media practitioners, researchers and stakeholders. At this event, which will be held at Northumbria University, London on January 19, 2024, we will be sharing those findings and the resulting recommendations as outlined in our draft report.

This event will showcase new research and work-in-progress investigating the role of language in shaping our understanding of gender and sexuality in sports contexts. It aims to critically interrogate the discourses that create, sustain and challenge inequalities within this field. We welcome contributions from a wide range of disciplines that tie into the theme of the one-day conference.

The aim of the conference is to bring together academics and researchers of all areas of sports. Participants can present on sports topics within broad streams of research areas. Consistent with the theme of ATINER’s small academic events, all programs may include a few sessions on current topics in education and research. Please note that all our conferences are non-thematic as explained in our policy. However, academic members and friends can take the lead to organize and chair a stream as part of this conference.

During this event, we would like to highlight the diversity of work relating to martial arts. This will be an opportunity to build bridges between the different disciplines and connect Taiwanese and foreign researchers who work around this multi-faceted subject. This event will be divided into four days of presentations, workshops and demonstrations, mainly at the CEFC of the Academia Sinica and at the University of Chinese Culture in Taipei. We will be asking the following question: What place does Taiwanese martial arts occupy today both within the country and internationally?
