It is well known that high-level international sport is an instrument of power, as seen right now in the sanctions on Russian sport after the invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops. We invite empirical, theoretical, and methodological papers from postgraduate students, early-career researchers, established academics and practitioners that address and interrogate, from a critical and global perspective, cultural, social, political, and experiential frameworks of sport.

We invite scholars, policymakers and practitioners to discuss emerging transformations, issues and potentials that concern gender and related topics in sport. While some problems persist, there are also new and undetected phenomena that configure gendered issues in sport in novel and unexpected ways. We encourage conference participants to propose how we may approach emerging problematics in research, policymaking and practice in the field of gender and sport.

The Scientific and Programme Committee of the 30th EASM European Sport Management Conference invites scholars and practitioners to submit abstracts to be considered for presentation. Additionally, we invite short papers to be considered for the EASM Best Conference Paper Award 2022 and for the ESMQ New Researcher Award 2022 for young scientific scholars. Reviewers contributing to assessing and progressing colleagues’ work in an excellent manner will be awarded with the EASM Best Conference Reviewer Award 2022.

Competition and collaboration are two essential dimensions for the culture of sport and physical education. Instances can be identified since the Antiquity. Given the essential dimension of competition and collaboration and the learning, teaching and training processes, there is a need for in-depth historical analysis of these two dimensions and of their effects on society. 

The Organising Committee of the 1st Nordic Football Conference invites scholars, practitioners, and students from across the Nordic countries and around the world to submit abstracts that explore the conference's core areas of (1) Coaching and player development, (2) Contemporary issues in football culture, and (3) The global football system. In addition, two overarching themes, (a) Sustainability and (b) Evidence-based practices run concurrently to form the backbone of the event.

As European football continues to expand into new global territories, emergent debates concerning the future of the game have revealed new questions, new challenges, and new opportunities to those studying the politics, culture, economics, and sociology of the game in all its different forms. We would also like to extend an invitation to scholars working within the field of critical football studies to submit papers that speak to emerging debates.

The aim of this workshop is threefold: Co-theorize the concept of Small worlds of Football to capture a wider comparative scope of such a research project; to share and workshop the accepted papers submitted to the workshop; and work towards a publication: either publish an Edited Volume or a Special Issue (we are in early conversation with the International Journal of History of Sports).

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.
