The Conference will focus on football as an important social institution playing a rising role in various fields of human activity, and thus contribute to the increased knowledge among scientists specialising in football, as well as to examine the connections between football and politics or broader - social sciences.

Considering the historical and contemporary ties between sport and politics, a one-day conference in New York City in December 2018 will take a closer look at these relationships with a focus on four main topics: Exploitation; Environment; Stereotypes; and Scandals. We invite scholars from across the discipline and from any stage of their career to submit proposals.

Seksjon for kroppsøving og pedagogikk ved Norges idrettshøgskole arrangerer sin syvende forskningskonferanse om kroppsøvingsfaget 7.–8. juni 2018. Kroppsøvingskonferansen avholdes på Norges idrettshøgskole. Hensikten med konferansen er å dele kunnskap om kroppsøvingsfaget i bevegelse gjennom å samles rundt ny forskning, utveksle erfaringer og etablere nye nettverk.

This is an open themed conference. Submissions based on original research are welcomed from UK and overseas scholars and can relate to any aspect of sport, physical recreation, education and culture as considered from an historical perspective.

“Reimagining experience” provides an inter/cross disciplinary platform to explore different ways we come to know, understand, collaborate and communicate autoethnographic research. We have a large number of sessions/slots for presenters to exhibit/present their work, however, this number is not unlimited and when the timetable is full the conference submission will close.

Internationally, Denmark represents an outstanding example of talent development in ice hockey, with the last two decades launching Denmark into international awareness.

The football collective conference theme for 2018 is challenging the narrative. We welcome papers and presentations that will challenge myths and misconceptions, commonly held attitudes and positions. As the gap between fans and bodies (including clubs) grows wider and financial division within the game becomes more entrenched, critical thinking about the game has never been more necessary.

Known as the ‘people’s game’, no other sport has captured the public imagination in quite the same way as Association Football. Bringing together social science researchers and football practitioners, this conference will examine some of the contemporary challenges facing the ‘people’s game’ and will explore opportunities to address these challenges.
