Call for papers
THE 6th ANNUAL
SOCIOLOGY OF SPORT
DAY CONFERENCE
Saturday, January 26, 2008, Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario
The School of Kinesiology and Health Studies at Queen’s University would
like to invite all those interested in socio-cultural studies of sport
and exercise to a day conference that will be held in the memory of our
colleague Dr. Donald Macintosh.
The conference programme will consist of several sessions of graduate
student presentations, a catered lunch, and the annual Donald Macintosh
Memorial Lecture which will be given this year by Dr. Judy Davidson of
the University of Alberta. Dr. Davidson has published numerous articles
on the Gay Games and on queer theory and sport studies. Her work draws
on Foucaultian discourse analysis, feminist poststructuralist theory and
aspects of psychoanalytic critiques of culture. Her current projects
include a historical analysis of leisure activities in queer communities
in Edmonton and an autoethnography of a women’s recreational hockey team.
Graduate students who would like to present their work at the conference
should send abstracts or proposals for round-table discussions to Mary
Louise Adams (mla1@queensu.ca) by December 15, 2007. We are looking for
presentations of works-in-progress, as well as presentations of
completed research.
Kingston is accessible by VIA rail or bus. It is a two hour and 45
minute drive from either downtown Toronto or downtown Montreal. It is a
two hour drive from Ottawa and a one hour drive from Watertown, New
York. Registration fees are $20 for faculty and $10 for students.
For more information or to add your name to our email list, write to
Mary Louise Adams, mla1@queensu.ca
