This Call for Abstracts is presented in English and in Swedish. The conference is organized by the Department of Sport Sciences at Malmö University together with the Center of Research on Welfare, Health and Sport, Halmstad University. As a step towards increased internationalization, all keynotes and one conference track will be in English during the two days. Additionally, representatives from the sports movement as well as physical education teachers will be invited to attend.

The conference is a student-driven event targeting traditionally underrepresented undergraduate and graduate students (e.g. students of color, LGBTIQ students, students with disabilities) and early career professionals interested in careers in applied sport, exercise, and performance psychology. Through a variety of discussions, presentations, and networking opportunities, the conference provides a space for open dialogue around diversity and social justice issues in applied sport and exercise settings.

Discrimination cuts across traditional academic subjects and the ethos behind this conference is therefore to bring together experts from different subject areas to exchange ideas and explore what we can learn from one another.  We welcome presentations about all forms of discrimination across any sporting context.  As in previous years of Sport and Discrimination events, submissions may approach the conference from a variety of perspectives.

Abstracts are welcome on any area of philosophy of sport (broadly construed), including metaphysics, epistemology, aesthetics, and ethics, and from any theoretical approach, including analytic philosophy and critical theory. While IAPS recognizes, values, and encourages interdisciplinary approaches and methodologies, acceptance is contingent on the philosophical content of the project. Emerging scholars are encouraged to submit works in progress.

We welcome presentations that seek to identify and critically examine the role of sport, physical culture, and the body within the process of creating academic communities for social justice. The conference aims to promote an inter- and trans-disciplinary dialogue, and as such is a space for work developing within or across academic disciplines. We welcome all submissions from a multitude of disciplines on a range of related topics, but encourage submissions interrogating physical cultural practices. 

Sätt bollen i rullning är ett RF-finansierat projekt för ett mer jämställt styrelsearbete inom idrotten. Projektet är en samverkan mellan Svenska Fotbollförbundet, Svenska Basketförbundet, Svenska Handbollförbundet samt forskare. Sätt bollen i rullning handlar om att skapa bättre möjligheter för kvinnor i ledande positioner att ges förutsättningar för att vara kvar och på så vis påverka så väl bollsporten som idrotten i stort. Projektledare är Annika Grälls, SvFF och Daniel Alsarve, docent i Idrottsvetenskap, Örebro universitet.

The World Congress of Performance Analysis of Sport 2022 & International Symposium on Computer Science in Sport 2022 is planned to be held in Vienna Austria, from September 10–13 2022. The program will include presentations from renowned keynote speakers and leading experts, as well as oral and poster presentations from world-class researchers touching on cutting edge subjects and newest technologies from the field of Performance Analysis and Computer Science in Sport.

Founded in 2002 to put anti-doping research on the agendas of sport organizations and political bodies, many INDR scholars have contributed to the research-based debates on anti-doping. Interdisciplinary research is now an essential component of anti-doping policy-making. Therefore the INDR leadership encourages an open discussion on the relevance, aims, and objectives of anti-doping research in general and of the network in particular.

The conference’s broad overarching theme is the relationship between leisure and inequality, ultimately considering the ongoing question, for whom is leisure? The conference aims to explore this through the sharing of research, education and practice, and the Scientific Committee now invites researchers, educators and practitioners, amongst others, to submit abstracts for Papers, Posters, Workshops, Panels and Productions.

Over the last years, important sport sociological work has been noticed in other disciplines such as sports medicine or physical education, and has subsequently changed the ways how researchers in these fields approach their research problems. However, in many interdisciplinary research projects on specific phenomena in sport and physical activity, the added value of sociological reflections is still not fully recognized, and, as a consequence, sport sociology is often not part of larger interdisciplinary research efforts.
