CONFERENCE: NASSS 2005 -- Sport / Empires / Globalization
Invitation to Session Organizers
The 26th Annual Conference of the North American Society for the Sociology
of Sport will be held October 26-29 at the Adams Mark Hotel in
Winston-Salem, North Carolina, USA. This year's theme is Sport / Empires /
Globalization and attempts to reflect both continuity and change in the
broad context in which scholars discuss and theorize sport. As always, the
NASSS Conference welcomes sessions both related and unrelated to the
conference theme. Those who wish to propose panels, workshops, sessions, or
other ideas for the conference should contact Program Chair, Stephan Walk,
Department of Kinesiology, California State University, Fullerton,
Fullerton, CA, 92834 Tel (714) 278-4763; Email: swalk@fullerton.edu.
Deadline for Proposals for Sessions is Monday, May 2.
Many contemporary social thinkers have grappled with the implications of a
global order characterized by rapidly shifting systems of economic and
cultural exchange. In identifying Sport / Empires / Globalization as this
year's conference theme, the NASSS Program Committee wished to recognize the
emerging economic, political, and cultural context of current manifestations
of sport. What insights into inequalities, power, and the body in sport are
advanced by notions of empire(s) as they relate to globalization processes?
In identifying these themes, the committee wished to continue to foster the
"interdisciplinary dialogues" that were the hallmark of the Tuscon
conference. For more information, please contact any member of the 2005
NASSS Program Committee:
* Stephan Walk, Program Chair (swalk@fullerton.edu)--contact to propose
sessions
* Becky Beal (bbeal@pacific.edu)
* Othello Harris (harriso@muohio.edu)
* Leslie Heywood (heywood@binghamton.edu)
* Pirrko Markula (p.markula@bath.ac.uk)
* Robert Rinehart (rerine@wsu.edu)
* Patricia Vertinsky (patricia.vertinsky@ubc.ca)
* Mary McDonald (mcdonamg@muohio.edu)
* Maureen Smith (smithmm@csus.edu)
* Ellen Staurowsky (staurows@ithaca.edu)
* Earl Smith (smithea@wfu.edu)
In addition to keynote speakers, panels, poster and paper sessions, this
year's conference will feature seminars, in which small groups prepare and
exchange position papers on key issues, and a roundtable session on
collaborative research. This year will also continue the Saturday Spotlight
Session, and a Graduate Student Workshop.
Reminder: A call seeking papers and posters will be issued soon after the
2005 sessions have been submitted and finalized. The deadline for papers
and posters submitted for the 2005 NASSS Conference will be mid June. Look
for the Call for Paper and Poster Abstracts (including important information
on online submissions), in addition to further details on keynotes and other
conference highlights coming soon on the NASSS website: www.nasss.org
Best wishes

NETWORK: Proposal for an International Network for the Marxist Study of Sport
Proposal for an International Network for the Marxist Study of Sport
At the 2004 North American Society for the Sociology of Sport conference in
Tucson, Arizona, a panel on "Critiquing Sport: What is the relevance of
Marxism" was a very well attended session with a lively discussion. The
audience consisted of different generations of sport scholars, from those
that were part of the discussions about Marxism in sport in the late 1970s
and 1980s, to current post graduate students keen to know more about
Marxism. This suggests that there is an increase in interest in what
Marxism has to say about the relationship between sport, politics, culture,
identity and society.
Given the increasing interest in Marxism within the academy, and the
emergence of a wider anti-capitalist movement, we believe that there is
scope to increase the influence and understanding of Marxism within the
sport sociology community and beyond. It is timely then to set up a network
of Marxists working on issues related to sport from different disciplinary
backgrounds, in order to raise the level of scholarship, understanding and
profile of Marxism and sport in the academy.
A small group of us have come together to create an informal network, with
the aim of bringing together individuals from around the world who are
similarly interested in developing Marxist approaches to the study of sport.
The following areas are proposed as points of development and focus.
1. To locate the place of sport in debates about the nature of global
capitalism.
2. To develop Marxist approaches to the critical/radical theories of sport,
especially in response to the rise of postmodernism, post Marxism, Cultural
Studies, and identitarian theories within the academy.
3. To develop a Marxist research agenda and facilitate collaborative
projects, for example on the political economy of sport, on class and
identity, on policy and politics (including the issue of praxis), and on
pedagogy (so, to what extent and how are Marxist approaches to sport
delivered on the curriculum).
4. To encourage the development of Marxist scholarship, and to raise the
understanding and profile of Marxism in the academy (both amongst peers and
students).
If you are interested in being part of this informal network, and have ideas
on how it could work and develop, please get in touch.
