Sports administrators, researchers, policy experts and fan-based groups have led the way in highlighting and challenging racism both on and off the field. Now politicians, both national and local, are increasingly keen to see if sport can be used as a tool in promoting greater social cohesion and inclusion amongst Britain's varied ethnic and racial groups. Urgent questions on the future of anti-racism in British sport will be addressed through the following presentations:

* Sport and Race in British Society: key issues and challenges for the 21st century
* Racialised sporting identities and anti-racism
* Sport, anti-racism and public policy: the scope for building community cohesion
* Changing agendas for anti-racism in sport
* Media - challenging and making best use of the media
* Women in sport - part of the same culture and practice?
* Anti-racist campaigns in sport
* Sport, Education and Anti-Racism

This is set to be a key event in this area. Delegate places at this important event are limited. To secure your place today, simply book online at http://www.tandfevents.com/anti-racism or phone Rebecca Miller on +44 (0)20 7017 5507.
