The CSSOR Program Committee welcomes high quality academic work on sport studies topics such as race, gender, politics, legacy, youth, or disability. Proposed research papers focusing on broader sociocultural topics within sport are welcomed in addition to research specifically addressing the Olympic Movement. Scholars in the fields of, for instance, history, philosophy, management, communication, ancient and modern languages, literature, and law are encouraged to submit proposals or attend the conference.

ATINER organizes a Special Session on “Global Sports”, 18-21 December 2023, in Athens, Greece as part of the 17th Annual International Conference on Global Studies. The session will be organized in collaboration with the Pan-Hellenic Association of Sport Economists & Managers (PASEM). The aim of the session is to bring together academics and researchers form all areas of sport studies. Participants can present on sports topics within broad streams of research areas.

This special issue seeks to explore such complexities and environmental issues surrounding the Games. We welcome theoretical, empirical, and conceptual submissions from a broad range of disciplines (history, sociology, anthropology, environmental studies, philosophy). While broad, we hope this special issue will capture the array of connections between climate change, physical culture, and the Olympics.

This special issue – directed by Pierre-Olaf Schut, University Professor and Marion Philippe, Lecturer, both from the ACP laboratory of the Gustave Eiffel University (France), aims to propose a reflection on the polysemy of the word “image” as part of a historical reflection on the Olympic Games. Indeed, the word “image” can be considered from a figurative angle but also as a representation.

In this special issue of Communication & Sport, we welcome theoretical and empirical contributions that broadly address the overarching theme of “Mediating the East Asian Era of the Olympic and Paralympic Games” or specially focus on one or more of the events from the 2018, 2020 and/or 2022 Games.

The value and timeliness of a special issue on supporting high performance in stressful contexts lie in the unusual mix of a world-leading sport event and a worldwide life-changing pandemic. We believe that measures taken in these unusual circumstances may inform sport psychology work in general. We expect all submissions to be rigorous and have the potential to advance the field.

The intended scope of this Research Topic is to collect manuscripts that focus on Olympic media from a critical perspective and therefore assist in developing the deeper body of knowledge described above. We invite submissions (Original Research, Reviews, Policy and Practice Reviews, Perspectives, and General Commentaries) that will advance our knowledge about Olympic-related media.
