2024 is an Olympic Games year. Held every four years (with the exception of during the World Wars and Covid-19 restrictions), the modern Olympics is the largest international sporting event in the world. However, historically it has not always been just the sports that are played and the athletes’ performances that make an impact. To mark the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad, being held in Paris this summer, we have brought together five academics to give five talks on a social, cultural or political aspect of the Games. All the talks are available to listen to live for free.

CEVIPOL (Centre d'Etude de la Vie Politique) is a research center of the Philosophy and Social Sciences Department at the Université libre de Bruxelles. It specializes in political sociology and comparative politics, and one thematic axis is “Sports and Politics”, within which the current webinar series, “Sport and Societies”, is organised by Professor Jean-Michel De Waele. Participation is free of charge, but registration is mandatory.
