We encourage scholars from the fields of children’s literature, screen studies, games studies, media and communication, material culture and, of course, scholars studying play from both theoretical and empirical perspectives, to join us in considering the latent metacritical potentials of play and its diverse modes and forms in bridging disciplinary divides.

Through the theme of “The World Voice of Sport Management,” WASM will bring together students, scholars, practitioners, and professionals from around the world to share expertise and knowledge about the global venture of sport business.

The International Association for the Philosophy of Sport invites the submission of abstracts to be considered for presentation at the 47th annual IAPS meeting.

The organizers are interested in bringing together scholars who are interested in issues of gender equality in sport. We welcome submissions that address a variety of gender issues such as sexuality, body, identity, gender-based discrimination (including harassment and abuse), LGBTIQ+ experiences, as well as practices of exclusion and marginalization in sport, physical activity, and school physical education.

Next year’s conference coincides with the 10th anniversary of the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty and, therefore, the first decade of a direct sport competence for the European Union.

We are inviting contributions from a variety of disciplines, such as political science, history, sociology, economics, business and law.
