Sport plays an important role in our society and all over the world and is a major part of human interests and activities. Sport excites. When we search for inspiration, it is often found in the words and achievements of coaches and athletes.

The International Association for Communication and Sport (IACS) invites you to submit your work for a presentation or panel discussion for the 2024 Summit on Communication and Sport.

The Summit welcomes submissions from all methodological and theoretical perspectives.

This conference seeks to bring together a wide range of scholars, both early career and more experienced, from a range of disciplines, whose research focuses on the visual and material culture of sport. By aligning research with specific international and global festivals, ranging from Olympic and Paralympic Games and World tournaments, to inter-continental competitions such as Asian and African Games, or events such as the Commonwealth Games, we hope to demonstrate the breadth of cultural practice and the vital role played by artists and creators in shaping the appearance and environment of such events.

SPRING was formed in 2021 and brings together international scholars in an informal context who wish to share and develop their research interests in the Sport and Politics subject area. The concept grew out of the Sport and Politics Group’s inaugural international conference, hosted by the University of Vic in June 2017, followed by the subsequent publication of an edited volume entitled Sport, Globalisation and Identity, published by Routledge in October 2019, which took its inspiration from the main themes of the conference.

It is clear that all major scholarly works on sports history in Ghana are skewed heavily toward Azumah Nelson and boxing, to the neglect of other boxing greats, and with little or no attention to all the other sports in Ghana. Consequently, this project seeks to highlight and document the history of sports in Ghana and its contribution to economics, nationalism, and national development. Contributions must all be original research work following the strict rubric of research. We invite original research contributions to this project.
