INTERNSHIP: College Sport Research Institute

The College Sport Research Institute (CSRI) Internship Program allows students/individuals from any academic discipline the ability to gain practical research, development or event-management experience. Consistent with the mission and goals of CSRI and the Scholarly Conference on College Sport, we welcome both undergraduate and graduate students who have an interest in college sport, college-sport research, event-management, development, or education to apply for the internship program. Internships can be structured for course credit.

Commitment and Compensation

CSRI internships are flexible, in regard to time commitments. Presently, research and event-management internships are unpaid. As a result we recognize interns in these positions may need to secure additional part-time employment. Therefore, the minimum time commitment for research and event-management interns is 20 hours/week. Since development internships are paid - based on a percent (20%) of developed memberships, donations, or sponsorships - the minimum time expectation for these internships is 30 hours per week. However, if interns require a specified number of hours to satisfy course credit requirements, CSRI can accommodate such a need.

• Research Internships (Three - [3] Internships)
  

• Development Internships (Two [2] Internships) Paid
  

• Event-Operations Internships (Two [2] Internships)
  

How to Apply

Internship applicants must submit an application packet that includes:

• Resume specifying academic standing and GPA

• Letter of interest detailing: Previous experience, Education & Rationale for applying

• Three letters of recommendation (one from a previous professor)

Send all appropriate paperwork to:

SEMINAR: Insuffler la paix - pensez-y, parlez-en, faites-la!

Pour diffusion immédiate
Novembre 2009

Le YMCA du Grand Moncton insuffle la paix chez les personnes de tous âges durant la Semaine de la paix du YMCA

(Moncton, N.-B.) – Chacun de nous a le potentiel d’être un bâtisseur de paix comme le souligne le thème de la Semaine de la paix du YMCA : « Insuffler la paix - pensez-y, parlez-en, faites-la! ». En concert avec les autres YMCA du Canada, le YMCA du Grand Moncton insuffle la paix et aide les enfants, les jeunes et les adultes à avoir une influence positive, spécialement durant la Semaine de la paix se déroulant du 21 au 28 novembre 2009.

« Dans le monde planétaire d’aujourd’hui, nous sommes plus liés les uns aux autres que nous puissions l’imaginer, dit Chris Robicheau, coordonnateur du Comité international du YMCA du Grand Moncton. En diffusant notre message de paix, nous sommes capables d’inspirer les autres à s’engager dans des actions pacifiques », d’ajouter M. Robicheau.

Même si la paix fait partie des programmes de toute l’année du YMCA du Grand Moncton, dans le cadre de la Semaine de la paix, on met plus d’accent sur l’exploration de la paix à de nombreux échelons, spécialement chez les enfants et les jeunes. Cette année, on se concentre sur le fait d’inspirer les autres à s’engager activement dans la paix dans leur vie quotidienne. Cela constitue une partie importante de l’instauration de la paix.

« Nos actions individuelles à l’égard de la paix sont des éléments clés de la création d’un monde plus sain et pacifique. La Semaine de la paix du YMCA est centrée sur l’importance de démontrer et de vivre nos valeurs de base d’inclusion, de respect, de responsabilité, de bienveillance, d’amour et de protection de la Terre », dit M. Robicheau.

Le YMCA a créé un guide d’activités axées sur la paix pour aider les enfants, les jeunes et les adultes à traduire leurs valeurs en action en explorant des sujets comme la coopération, l’empathie, le respect, la communication positive, la résolution des conflits et les parallèles entre les enjeux mondiaux et communautaires. Le YMCA encourage les parents et les enseignants à consulter le site www.ymca.ca pour télécharger ce guide gratuit.

Un fait saillant de la semaine est l’octroi de la Médaille de la paix du YMCA à une personne ou un groupe qui, sans ressources spéciales, démontre un engagement à l’égard de la paix par le biais de ses contributions spéciales au sein de la collectivité ou à l’étranger.

CFP: The Development of Football: Commercialization, Culture and Identity

The Development of Football:
Commercialization, Culture and Identity

Thursday, April 8 – Saturday, April 10, 2010

Department of Sport Science, Malmö University
Location, Orkanen


Ever since the revolutionary breakthrough of television and, a decade or so later, the infamous Bosman ruling, the world of association football has been divided into strong centers, less powerful semi-peripheries, and more or less marginalized fringes. Some national leagues have, in sporting and economic terms, left the others far behind. The same pattern is apparent in women’s football. What’s more, there’s a clear division within the national leagues as well, with the same handful of rich and famous clubs claiming top positions in the league tables. Is this the football of the future? Is the division into centers and peripheries beneficial for football? These are some of the themes and question that will be penetrated at Malmö University’s important international football conference.

The conference on football will have a number of interesting keynote speakers – with local, global and glocal focuses. Confirmed speakers are Richard Giulianotti (UK), John Hughson (UK), Hans Hognestad (Norway), Boria Majumdar (India), Torbjörn Andersson (Sweden) and Jesper Fundberg (Sweden).

The conference committee now invites participants to present PAPERS, preferably, but not necessarily, relating to the following themes:

• The Status and the Prospects of National Football Leagues
• Post-Bosman and the Development of Football
• The Globalisation/Glocalisation of Football
• Football and Local and National Identity
• Directions in Contemporary and Future European Football
• The Future Development of Women Football
• Sponsoring and Marketing of Women Football
• The Implication of the 6+5 Rule or the Economic Doping of Football Clubs

Please submit ABSTRACTS (250 – 400 words) electronically to

• Annika Larsson (annika.larsson@mah.se)

no later than December 15, 2009. Notification of acceptance will be given on January 11, 2010. Accepted articles must be submitted in full by March 15th, and will be considered for publication in a special issue of Soccer and Society, in 2011, or in Nordic Sport Studies Forum.

For further information, please contact Bo Carlsson, Malmö University (bo.carlsson@mah.se)


But Actually, It’s Two Conferences...

The Department of Sport Science is organizing two separate, and yet partly coinciding conferences, under the joint heading of ”Centers and Peripheries in Sport”. Both conferences are focusing on inequalities in the development of sport. The first conference, “The Development of Football: Commercialization, Culture and Identity”, commencing on the 8th of April, acknowledges the inconsistencies in association football between centers and peripheries in the European context. On Saturday the 10th a particular focus on women’s football will mark the end of the first conference and the opening of the second conference, “The Development of Women Sport: Separate but not Equal”, which concentrates on the development of women’s sports, with an emphasis on equality and differences. A separate Call for Papers for the second conference has been distributed, and can be accessed through the conference website, http://www.centersandperipheriesinsport (active from October 26, 2009).

The Development of Women Sport:
Separate but not Equal

Saturday, April 10 – Monday, April 12, 2010

Department of Sport Science, Malmö University, Malmö, Sweden

Location, Orkanen

Gender differences and similarities, and whether differences and similarities should be reflected in the organization of sports, is a hotly contended issue in media, in sports, and between scholars. There is consensus about the basic inequalities within sports, but how can that be corrected? Who will spearhead the campaign for gender equality in sports, and in what way should it be run? I various ways, feminists have tried to steer society towards gender equality; but how did the association sports respond? These and many more questions concerning men, women and sports will be subject to thorough exploration at this unique conference.

The conference on gender and sports will have a number of exciting keynote speakers: Raewyn Connell (Australia), Kari Fasting (Norway), Pirkko Markula (Canada), Celia Brackenridge (UK), Gertrud Pfister (Denmark), Sigmund Loland (Norway), Marion Keim (South Africa), Boria Majumdar (India) Martin Polley (UK), Susanna Hedenborg (Sweden).

The conference committee now invites participants to present PAPERS, relating to the theme of gender, women and sports.

With the Treaty of Lisbon about to enter into force, the European Union will for the first time be equipped with a direct competence in the area of sport. Moreover, the implementation of the 2007 European Commission White Paper on Sport and the Action Plan Pierre de Coubertin is shaping and re-defining to some extent the policies of the EU towards sport. The last couple of years have featured a focus on the transformation of sport governance and the new roles of public authorities, governing bodies and stakeholders in the organisation of European sport. Sport&EU’s 5^th annual conference sets to explore the latest research on the current challenges and possible solutions to improve sport governance.

The conference organisers invite now the submission of paper and panel proposals addressing issues pertaining to sport governance and to the role of public authorities (including but not limited to the European Union) and non-governmental sport organisations at different levels in the governance of sport. The organisers would value proposals that do not focus only on professional sport, and papers analysing the consequences of the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty are welcome as well. Papers and panels with an interdisciplinary approach are especially welcome and submissions by PhD students are encouraged.

For more information on the conference, please visit our website at www.pswx.ugent.be/seuc2010

For single paper proposals, send a 250 words abstract, together with a short biography and your contact details.

SEMINAR: Sport and Leisure History, Univ of Hertforshire

SPORT AND LEISURE HISTORY SEMINAR

'PEASANTS INTO SPORTSMEN: SPORT AND THE MAKING OF MODERN ITALY'

Speaker: Simon Martin (British School at Rome/University of Hertfordshire)

During the last century sport stimulated and revealed social change,
political transition and economic development in Italy, while providing
rituals and shared experiences that were fundamental in the construction
of the nation’s modern identity. This paper will explore how sport became
such an integral part of Italian social, economic and political life. It
will also reveal how the formerly elitist, minority pastime that was
restricted to the cultural margins of the newly created, industrially
retarded and regionally divided nation-state, metamorphosed into a
national, mass cultural and social institution that symbolises and
reflects Italy’s modernisation.

Through analysis of specific events and sporting personalities in liberal,
Fascist and postwar democratic Italy this paper will consider why sport
has been such a consistently important feature of twentieth-century
Italian life; what is its relationship with Italy’s social, economic and
political modernisation; to what extent, and with what success, Italian
sporting traditions and communal experiences been exploited to inculcate a
sense of shared, national identity by all governments; and how sport help
us rethink traditional questions about modern Italy?

Dr Simon Martin won the British Society for Sport's History’s Lord
Aberdare Prize for literary history in 2004 for his book Football and
Fascism: The National Game Under Mussolini (Berg, Oxford, 2004), which was
based on his PhD thesis. Awarded postdoctoral funding by the Leverhulme
Trust, he continued his research on sport and modern Italy and his
forthcoming book, Sport Italia. The Italian Love Affair with Sport, will
be published by IB Tauris in 2010. Dr Martin has taught at UCL and the
University of Hertfordshire, where he currently holds a Visiting
Fellowship, and is a Research Fellow at the British School at Rome.

Time and Date: 5:15 PM, Monday, November 2nd
Location: Ecclesiastical History Room, Institute of Historical Research,
Senate House, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HU.

All are welcome. For more information, please contact our seminar

GRANT: Diversity in Sport Dissertation

Diversity in Sport Dissertation Grant

The Laboratory for Diversity in Sport at Texas A&M University is pleased to announce the Diversity in Sport Dissertation Grant. This is a $1,000 award presented to a student who will complete a doctoral dissertation by August 15, 2010. Any doctoral student conducting research in the area of diversity in sport and physical activity is eligible for the grant.

Overview.
Diversity represents one of the most important issues in sport and physical activity today. From a managerial standpoint, changing demographics, equal employment opportunity laws, social pressures, and the promise of diversity’s positive effects on the workplace have all contributed to the increased heterogeneity of sport organization employees. Research indicates, however, that diversity can have varied effects in sport organizations. As such, it is imperative for managers to understand how diversity influences the workplace and factors that can facilitate the positive effects of diversity.

From a social standpoint, sport has historically been a context where persons with certain characteristics—that is, White, able-bodied, heterosexual, Protestant men—has been privileged relative to those persons who do hold those characteristics. This form of privilege is largely still in place today. Social scientists are charged, therefore, with understanding (a) the experiences of members of under-represented groups, (b) how their experiences in sport influence their subsequent attitudes and behaviors, and (c) what policies can be implemented to ensure that sport is a setting open to all persons, irrespective of their demographic characteristics, values, or beliefs.

Guidelines.
Students should complete the attached information sheet, complete a proposal for funding, and provide a detailed budget. Each proposal should be no more than three pages of text (excluding references, tables, figures, and/or appendices). The proposal should include (a) an introduction, (b) an overview of the theoretical framework adopted for the study, (c) the proposed methods, (d) the data analytic procedures, (e) the expected results, and (f) the implications of the research for the study of diversity in sport. On a separate page from the written proposal, students should provide a detailed budget of how they plan to use the funds. Proposals should also include a letter of support from the student’s advisor. Preference will be given to those studies focusing on the issues outlined in the Overview section.

Students should submit four copies of the grant proposal to:

George B. Cunningham, PhD
Laboratory for Diversity in Sport
Department of Health and Kinesiology
Texas A&M University

College Station, TX 77843-4243

Note that Texas A&M University System employees are not eligible for the award.

SEMINAR: Mexican-American Athletes, Dual Citizenship, and the Question of Choice

CHICAGO SEMINAR ON SPORT AND CULTURE

SPONSORED BY NORTHEASTERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY AND THE NEWBERRY LIBRARY

We are pleased to invite you to the Chicago Seminar on Sport and Culture at the Newberry Library, co-sponsored by Northeastern Illinois University and North Central College. The following lecture is Oct. 16 2009. All sessions begin at 3:30 PM. The lectures are open to the public at no charge. The Newberry Library is located at 60 W. Walton, Chicago, IL.

MEXICAN-AMERICAN ATHLETES, DUAL CITIZENSHIP, AND THE QUESTION OF CHOICE

Prof. Villalobos discusses how since 1997 the Mexican government actively pursued the economic and political favor of Mexicans residing in the U.S. by changing the constitution enabling Mexican-Americans to reclaim their citizenship. This has created a significant impact on Mexican soccer. Dual citizenship has enabled the national team to successfully recruit outstanding players living north of the border. A monolingual and monoculture squad is now bilingual and bicultural. This paper traces the return of the disaporic Mexican nation in men’s and women’s soccer. This has been especially important for a chauvinistic society to become a power in soccer. The new appreciation of Mexican-Americans as in Mexico has had a similar effect in the U.S. as dual citizen Mexican-American athletes have become a sought after commodity. Gifted athletes who formerly were on the margin now have two options.

Prof. Villalobos is associate professor of Hispanic Studies at Texas A&M University. His publications include La imaginación genealógica: Herencia y escritura en México. Colima: Universidad de Colima, 2006.
