Conference report: The annual BERA conference in Liverpool 2022
The British Educational Research Association (BERA) conference 2022 took place in Liverpool at the Liverpool John Moore University, 6–8 September 2022. This report by Maria Howding, Malmö University, is not a complete summary of the scientific program, but rather an overarching reflection on what it was like attending the conference from the perspective of the doctoral students in the Swedish graduate school of physical education didactics for physical education teacher educators.

Book Review
Den utställda drotten: Idrott som kulturarv på idrottsmuseer i Sverige [The Exhibited Sport: Sport as Heritage in Sport Museums in Sweden] by John Berg
I sin doktorsavhandling Den utställda drotten: Idrott som kulturarv på idrottsmuseer i Sverige (Bokförlaget idrottsforum.org) undersöker John Berg fem svenska idrottsmuseer på olika platser i Sverige, dels som konkreta platser där idrottens kulturarv materialiseras och ställs ut, dels som kontextberoende institutioner påverkade av samhälleliga strömningar. Avhandlingen recenseras insiktsfullt av Daniel Alsarve, som också var fakultetsopponent vid disputationen i juni 2022. (Book in Swedish, review in Swedish, published 220927.)

A record is a record – or maybe not, by Erkki Vettenniemi
Yes, or perhaps no. The answer depends, as I have been informed by an anonymous internet authority, on the definition of sound. If sound is defined as vibrations that travel through the air, the answer is yes. But if we choose to perceive sound as the sensation we experience when our ears detect the vibrations, then the tree goes silently down. Suppose next that an athlete achieves a world record in a bona fide competition, but unkind or plain hostile authorities refuse to publish the record-breaking result. Is the athlete still a world record holder? Beats me. (Published in English 220930.)
