CFP: Sport, Race and Ethnicity: Building a Global Understanding
Sport, Race and Ethnicity: Building a Global Understanding: 30 Nov - 2 Dec 2008
http://www.business.uts.edu.au/lst/sre/index.html
CALL FOR PAPERS: ABSTRACTS DUE 16 MAY
http://www.business.uts.edu.au/lst/sre/abstracts.html
A SELECTION OF THE BEST PAPERS WILL APPEAR IN A SPECIAL CONFERENCE EDITION OF THE ROUTLEDGE JOURNAL SPORT IN SOCIETY
http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/titles/14610981.asp
Dear colleagues,
you are warmly invited to attend the international conference Sport, Race and Ethnicity: Building a Global Understanding, which will be hosted by the University of Technology Sydney, Australia, 30 Nov - 2 Dec 2008. This event will bring together academics, policy makers and community representatives from around the world to discuss issues of sport and diversity, with a special focus on themes of 'race', indigeneity and ethnicity. The emphasis here is with sport in a global sense, considering developments in regions as varied as Australasia, East and West Asia, the Middle East, the Indian Subcontinent, Africa, Europe and the Americas. Additionally, there will be scope for analysis of sport and diversity in localised contexts, such as Aborigines in Australia and Canada, Native Americans and Hispanics in the US, and Maori and Pacific Islanders in New Zealand. Just as significantly, there will be discussion of sport and society in cross-cultural contexts wherein themes of 'race', ethnicity, and religion intersect, such as among Chinese, Indian and Malaysian peoples around South-East Asia.
Keynote speakers: http://www.business.uts.edu.au/lst/sre/speakers.html
1. Prof John Hoberman (Univ of Texas at Austin) will discuss scientific and folkloric assumptions of athletic ability according to ‘race’. His talk will focus on theories of ‘black’ athletic aptitude in the context of the evolving area of medical genetics, whether ‘scientific’ assumptions of ‘racial’ capability are actually convincing, and the likely future of ‘race politics’ in light of science-race discourses in sport. His best known publication is Darwin's Athletes: How Sport Has Damaged Black America and Preserved the Myth of Race, Houghton Mifflin, New York, 1997.
2. Prof John Sugden (Univ of Brighton, UK) will speak about the role of sport in conflict resolution, reconciliation, and peaceful coexistence between rival ethnic and religious groups in Northern Ireland and the Middle East. These are regions where innovative sport programs are part of challenging, yet promising initiatives to try to break down longstanding hostility between historically antagonistic communities. His publications include J. Sugden and J. Wallis (eds), Football for Peace: Teaching and Playing Sport for Conflict Resolution in the Middle East, Meyer & Meyer, Aachen, 2007.
3. Dr Kevin Hylton (Leeds Metropolitan Univ, UK) will deliver a paper that emphasises the value of theoretically informed practical efforts to address problems associated with racial discrimination in sport. Specifically, he will consider how a turn to critical race theory can contribute to a better understanding and theorising of ‘race’, racism and antiracism in sport. In this session Dr Hylton will focus on the inconsistencies, contradictions and pragmatics of theory and practice in sport. He is the author of the much anticipated Critical Race Theory and Sport, Routledge, London, which will be published in July 2008.
For further details about the conference, please visit the web site http://www.business.uts.edu.au/lst/sre/index.html or email the Conference Chair at SRE2008@uts.edu.au. By all means pass on this notice to relevant colleagues and organisations.

CONFERENCE: Power of Sport Summit
On behalf of the Center for the Study of Sport in Society, we would like to cordially invite you to the first Power of Sport Summit: A Participatory Forum on Sport and Social Change on June 14th and 15th, 2008 to be held at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. The Summit will be an interactive meeting of academics, practitioners and advocates working together to define and address current and emerging issues involving the intersection of sport and social justice. The objective of the Summit is to generate discussion around current trends, including what's working, what's possible, and what important actions are needed to help advance the sport and social change movement.
All those interested in the intersection of sport and social justice are invited to attend and participate in the Power of Sport Summit, where experts in the fields of research, education and advocacy will unite to celebrate, reinvigorate and advance this very important work. All participants will be vital contributors able to share their expertise. Coaches, program managers, athletes and activists, both youth and adult, will be among those whose tangible experiences are key components in understanding the vital intersection of sport and social justice.
The Power of Sport Summit marks the conclusion of a year of innovative research carried out by Sport in Society’s inaugural team of Research Fellows. Their research activities cut across disciplines and demonstrate the powerful connection between sport and social change.
Due to the breadth and depth of possible topics, the Power of Sport Summit will combine interactive breakout sessions led by Sport in Society's Research Fellows with “Open Space Technology” (OST) working groups. Rather than concretely define all topics and presenters in advance, participants will also take active roles as self-organizers, setting the agenda for a collaborative working meeting. This dual structure offers participants an opportunity to learn about the latest trends and research currently advancing the sport and social change movement, while also allowing unforeseen topics to emerge and ensuring that the best outcomes are everyone's to create. These working sessions are intended to foster concrete action steps that can make a valuable impact in a variety of ways.
For more information regarding the Summit, including event details and the use of Open Space Technology, registration information and visitor information, please visit the event website at http://www.sportinsociety.org/powerofsportsummit.php. Any questions may be directed to my attention at: e.wolff@neu.edu, 617-373-8936.
