ESDN 2015 will be delivered in partnership with The University of Leeds, Leeds Beckett University, Leeds City Council Sport and Active Leisure and West Yorkshire Sport, reflecting the work of key stakeholders in Leeds working in the field of Sports Development.

The organisers are keen to encourage as wide a range of submissions as possible. In previous years papers have covered aspects such as pedagogy, history, philosophy, sociology and law, among others, and it is the intention of this year's conference to keep all options open.

We seek abstracts of no more than 500 words from persons interested in participating in the II Congress of History and Sport. Please include three key words related to your proposed paper, a brief curriculum vita, academic affiliation and contact information.

This conference will attempt to historicize the Pan-American Games and the narratives, policies and legacies they have promoted over the years. It will feature papers from an international array of scholars, as well as a session on Toronto 2015.

The congress aims to bring together the French and international scientific community of sports, within the field of physical activity and human motor skills, and to allow for interaction, communication and multidisciplinary scientific exchange at the highest level.

The BSSH has members across the world, and we welcome anyone with an interest in the history of sport to our website and hope the material here is both interesting and useful for you. We are committed to sharing ideas, information and a passion for the study of the history of sport.

The aim of this conference is to develop an active network of academics, practitioners and campaigners with an interest in sports geographies, by which we mean the ways in which we might understand sport as something that creates spaces and places, as well as something that is shaped by spaces and places.

The workshop is a space to share work, grapple with ideas and ask questions. Discussions will be driven by two key questions: how does power corrupt international sport and sports mega-events? And how can modern, international sport reform itself?

We seek submissions from scholars working in diverse fields (history, anthropology, sociology, media studies, cultural studies, among others) as our intent is to facilitate a dialogue that is as interdisciplinary as possible.

We invite abstracts of no more than 300 words for individual 20 minute papers that address any aspect of fandom or fan studies. We also welcome collated submissions for pre-constituted panels. We also invite expressions of interest from anyone wishing to host a short session of ‘speed geeking’.
