Researching the Moving Body
A Multi-Disciplinary Conference in Kinesiology, Physical Education, and
Health
Call for Papers - (also at www.utoronto.ca/physical)
The students in the Graduate Department of Exercise Sciences at the
University of Toronto are pleased to announce a two-day graduate student
conference. The conference will be held in Toronto on the weekend of May 14
and 15, 2005. This event is being hosted by the Faculty of Physical
Education and Health at the University of Toronto, organized and run by
graduate students.
Researching the Moving Body is designed to bring together graduate students
to share their research in a positive environment and to engage with other
students and ideas from across the many disciplines that comprise studies in
physical activity. The “moving body” is broadly defined as human movement,
the spaces and places where that occurs, and the technologies that accompany
it. Students are encouraged to see this conference as an opportunity to
present research “in progress”, use this event as a chance to test out some
ideas for a thesis or dissertation proposal, make a dry run of a future
conference presentation, or present original research.
You are encouraged to submit proposals for either individual presentations
or session topics. Abstracts should be no longer than 200 words (and include
the paper/session title, and presenter’s name and affiliation). Deadline for
the submission of abstracts is 15 April 2005. Papers are encouraged from
(but not limited to) the following areas:
Biomechanics
Nutrition
Cultural studies
Philosophy and ethics
Education and curriculum studies
Physiology
Engineering

Free Press and the Illinois Initiative for Media Policy Research (IIMPR) are hosting the kick-off meeting of the
ACADEMIC BRAIN TRUST
CONNECTING SCHOLARS TO MEDIA ACTIVISTS AND POLICYMAKERS
Kick-Off Brainstorming Session
Thursday, May 12, 2005
4-7 PM
Millennium Hotel
St. Louis, Missouri
Session Held in Advance of the
2nd National Conference for Media Reform (May 13-15)
Featuring FCC members: Michael Copps, Jonathan Adelstein
Members of Congress: Diane Watson, Bernie Sanders
Also: Jim Hightower, Amy Goodman, Naomi Klein, Al Franken, Juan Gonzalez, Bill Fletcher, Jr., Janine Jackson, Laura Flanders
Hundreds of journalists, artists and independent media producers
And: More media activists than you can shake a stick at
For details: http://www.freepress.net/conference/
WHY DO WE NEED AN ACADEMIC BRAIN TRUST?
Collectively, academic researchers and scholars across many disciplines comprise a grossly underutilized wealth of experience and knowledge that is desperately needed right now in policy fights across the country and across the globe. As public interest advocates and activists wage lonely, under-funded campaigns around public broadcasting, media ownership, Internet access, global media policy, copyright, commercialism, and other important issues, there has been a noticeable lack of input from the considerable talent in the field of communication and media studies. It is a weak spot for those committed to improving the media system, and it is a weak spot for the academic community as a whole.
The time to engage the larger scholarly community is now. A number of crucial policy debates over the next few years will define our media system for a generation, and have tremendous effect upon our democratic culture. As scholars and researchers, it is our responsibility to personally engage with these debates and to assist citizen participation in deliberations on media policies that are critical to the health of our democracy. To encourage civic engagement around these issues, it is imperative that we jumpstart media scholarship in the public interest, and work to link our best research and our research skills with the public.
The Academic Brain Trust is open to scholars from all fields employing all possible methodologies. It is open to faculty and grad students. It assumes no particular political views, only a belief that the crucial media policies that shape our media system should be the result of widespread informed public participation, and that scholars have an important role in the process. Although Free Press and IIMPR are hosting the kick-off session, the future of the Academic Brain Trust will be determined by those who participate and take leadership of this important opportunity.
OVER 50 SCHOLARS HAVE COMMITTED TO ATTENDING THE KICK-OFF SESSION OF THE ACADEMIC BRAIN TRUST PLEASE JOIN US!

CONFERENCE: (Trans)Forming Bodies [Grad]
(Trans)Forming Bodies
One Day Postgraduate Study Day
School of American and Canadian Studies
The University of Nottingham, UK
5th August 2005.
This one-day, interdisciplinary conference aims to explore both the formation (construction) and transformation (deconstruction, reconstruction, reproduction) of human bodies as represented in a variety of discourses.
The body has historically been perceived as a site upon which the "truth" of one's identity (race, sex, age) is inscribed. With this in mind, we are seeking proposals for 15-minute papers that interrogate the body's apparent immutability and/or consider the (im)possibility of transcending the material body through transformation.
We strongly encourage proposals in a variety of disciplines, including literature, film, visual arts, history, sociology and new media.
Suggested areas for discussion are, but not limited to:
Authenticity and Cultural Authority
Masquerade, Passing and Disguise
Bodily Mutations / Body Imaging
Gendered and Raced Bodies
Bodily Classifications
Adolescent Bodies
The Body-as-Text
The Body in Religious Discourse
National Bodies / Civic Bodies
The Body in Historical Discourse
Slave Bodies / The Body and Economics
The Body in Visual Culture
Virtual Bodies, Cyber Bodies, the Body and Technology
Sexualities
Bodies in Motion, Travelling Bodies and Tourism
The conference fee will be £15, including break-time refreshments and lunch.
Please send proposals of up to 300 words with institutional affiliation to the conference organises by the 25th of April 2005.

CFP: Baseball and Humor
The original CFP for this collection had the wrong word count for submissions. The corrected CFP follows:
Shelves and shelves have been filled with scholarly attention to baseball in American history, culture, literature, politics, etc.; likewise, shelves and shelves have been devoted to the study of humor (in American history, culture, literature, politics, etc.). Yet, surprisingly little has been said about the relationship between the two.
Proposed is a collection of new essays on the relationship between humor and baseball (in American history, culture, literature, politics, etc.). Topics might include, but certainly are not limited to:
baseball folklore and oral histories
baseball films, novels, poetry, etc.
baseball business and politics
baseball memoirs, exposes, etc.
funny moments in baseball games, blooper reels, etc.
baseball mascots and comic figures/characters/logos
baseball insider culture (razzing, pranks, dugout and on-field antics, etc.)
Any essay on the intersections of baseball and humor will be considered, and ideally the collection will be comprised of nine essays, total (of course!).
The working title for the collection is "'There's no crying in baseball!': Essays on Humor and America's Game".
Detailed abstracts (350-500 words) or completed essays (5,000-10,000 words) due August 15, 2005. Questions and submissions via email (MSWord doc) to Jason Steed at.
Note: A major press has already expressed interest in this project.

ROUNDTABLE: Sexual Harassment in Sport & Recreation
Sexual Harassment in Sport & Recreation: Strategies for Change
A Roundtable Discussion
Friday 8th April 2005
10a.m. – 2p.m.
William Doo Auditorium, New College Residence,
45 Willcocks Street, University of Toronto
RSVP to marilou.thompson@utoronto.ca
Co-Hosted by the Status of Women's Office, Sexual Harassment Office and the Centre for Girls' and Women's Health and Physical Activity, University of Toronto.
This event brings together researchers and practitioners from a number of disciplines to review what we know and to discuss strategies – in research, in policy development and in practical politics – for changing the cultures that give rise to sexual harassment. We will discuss what we have learned about the value and the limits of law and policy; we will look at international research comparing the experience of sexual harassment among women in different cultural contexts and different jurisdictions; we will look at how workplace strategies can be adapted to the environment of sport and recreation; and we will talk about the links between work on sexual harassment, on racism and on homophobia in sport and recreation.
The first session in the morning will include Professor Kari Fasting, from the Norwegian University of Sport and Physical Education, who will talk about her research about the characteristics of environments which foster sexual harassment; and Professor Sandy Welsh, from the Department of Sociology at the University of Toronto, who will talk about her recent work on the relation between race and sexual harassment.
The second session, a panel discussion about strategies for change, will be moderated by Connie Guberman, the University of Toronto’s Status of Women Officer; and it will include Professor Gretchen Kerr, of the Faculty of Physical and Health Education at the University of Toronto; Professor Margery Holman, of the Faculty of Human Kinetics at the University of Windsor; and Paddy Stamp, the Sexual Harassment Officer at the University of Toronto.
Attendance is limited to 40 and is on a first come, first served basis.
