CONFERENCE: Researching the Moving Body [Grad]

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
Public health
Exercise physiology
Sexual diversity studies
