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.

This event is a space for sharing works in progress that explore the connections between sports and sound. Participants will share unfinished projects at different stages of development and will have opportunities to engage with audience questions and feedback. The workshop is designed to provide a forum for constructive and supportive discussion of works in progress while also serving as a space to build community and encourage future collaborations among those interested in this topic.

This webinar aims to expand understandings of how sound in its many forms can provide novel sites for interdisciplinary analysis of sports and the moving body while harnessing creative methods for multimedia knowledge sharing and social activism. The webinar will consist of presentations from invited speakers discussing their explorations into sound and sport across research, media, and artistic domains. Presenters will also answer questions about their experiences working within the sport/sound nexus.

Drawing on inspiration from the fast-moving environment of technology & data, the webinar’s expert will talk through practical activities that listeners can start implementing.

The concept of guerrilla patriotism makes it possible to analyse not only the use of official national heroes by fans but also controversial figures who evoke strong reactions among others – support or rejection. The webinar aims to identify the figures which are perceived as patriotic role-models or anti-role-models by football fans. We want to initiate the discussion to include examples from all over the world. Reflecting on them will allow us to analyse the role such figures play in the national discourse of football stadiums.

Known as a football-passionate nation comparable to Brazil, Turkey has enjoyed important successes in the world arena, such as the third place in the 2002 World Cup, the semi-final in Euro 2008, and Galatasaray’s UEFA Cup and Super Cup victories in 2000. In the webinar, organized by Vrije Universiteit Brussel and University of Huddersfield, this unique football country will be discussed through different aspects that concern social sciences.
