I centrum för webbinariet står Kalle Janssons nyligen publicerade avhandling från 2024, ”Gud vad jobbigt: religion och etnicitet i ämnet idrott och hälsa”. I avhandlingen undersöks vilka utmaningar och värdekonflikter med koppling till religion och etnicitet som uppstår i skolans idrottsundervisning samt hur dessa hanteras. Exemplen handlar bland annat om värdekonflikter kring islam och skolans simundervisning, kristendom och yoga samt vilken musik som spelas under idrottslektionerna.

Kalle Janssons avhandling ger kunskap om hur religion och etnicitet, tillsammans med kön, blir betydelsefulla i skolämnet idrott och hälsa. Detta uppnås genom en empirisk studie vid fyra olika gymnasieskolor som studerar (a) hur spänningar relaterade till religion och etnicitet tar form och hanteras i idrott, (b) de didaktiska konsekvenserna av hanteringen, och (c) hur religion, etnicitet och kön korsar varandra när spänningarna tar form och hanteras. Studien är grundad i intersektionalitet och pragmatism, med hjälp av lektionsobservationer och intervjuer med lärare och elever.

Since fanatical extremism is one of the dark sides of religion (as well as of sport), what we propose as a meeting place is an open debate and reflection, but one that is demanding in terms of thinking about the depth and complexity that will unite us over these two days in Porto. The sport and religion conference, focussed on the relationship between philosophy and sport, seeks to be a horizon for reflections and contributions from across the spectrum of academic knowledge, promoting the sharing of research, thought and practice.

This online short-course will explore how religious practice intersects and overlaps with the beautiful game. We will use both a historical framework to highlight the longevity and intricacies of this relationship, and an approach that posits football as an analytical window for examining broader geopolitical and social forces. In particular, we will examine whether football can be viewed as a vehicle for the socio-political integration of marginalised groups into wider society, and the extent to which religious belonging is a facilitator or obstacle for any tensions that arise.

Submissions on sport and Christianity, in all of its forms, are invited from scholars across a range of related disciplines (i.e., theology, religious studies, kinesiology, psychology, history, philosophy, ancient and modern languages, literature, anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, economics, and business) and from practitioners in fields such as: sports ministry and mission, sports chaplaincy, counselling, social work, and pedagogy/coaching.

Contributions are being accepted for a workshop and edited volume tentatively titled “Beyond the Five Rings: Religion and Sport in Japan.” The purpose is to bring together experts from a variety of fields including, but not limited to, religious studies, history, sport studies/sports management, sociology, tourism, anthropology, economics, visual/material culture, and political science.
