Jon Woronoff, the editor of the Historical Dictionaries of Sport, is presently seeking authors for a wide range of sports as this is a new series. The only ones presently spoken for are Basketball, Golf, and Track and Field. These books are basically one-volume encyclopedias with a chronology, introduction, and bibliography as well as the central "dictionary" section which makes up the largest part. The dictionary section should include entries on famous sportsmen/women, teams and leagues, professional and other organizations, major sporting events (championships, Olympics), the basics of the main sport and other variants, important technical terminology and jargon, etc.
Although called a "historical" dictionary, about half of the book should deal with the contemporary situation and the rest can cover earlier periods. These books will be published by Scarecrow Press and information on the press and existing series (there are about 400 such titles already available) can be found at www.scarecrowpress.com
Interested authors can contact Mr. Woronoff at jonworonoff@orange.fr Please note that he is seeking only authors for whole books (300-350 pages) and not contributors for specific entries or an editor who would then take on contributors. While most of these books are written by single authors it would be possible in some cases to have teams of two or three, but not more.

CFP: Olympic Reform: A Ten-Year Review, University of Toronto
CALL FOR PAPERS
“Olympic Reform: A Ten-Year Review”
University of Toronto, May 19-20, 2009
In 1999, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) embarked upon a major series of reforms to governance, the bidding process to host Olympics, the reporting of information, and to important programmes such as Olympic Solidarity.
The reforms came in response to revelations of bribes paid to ensure that Salt Lake City won the right to host the 2002 Winter Olympics. As major sponsors threatened to withdraw their support, the IOC responded by establishing the ‘2000 Commission’. The 2000 Commission’s 50 recommendations for reform were quickly approved.
This conference will conduct a critical review of the implementation of the reform package – successes, failures and unintended consequences. The review is timely because the reforms were introduced with no independent review mechanism; and the conference takes place mid-way between the Beijing and Vancouver Olympics.
Academics, activists, policy makers and sport leaders will gather to examine the context of reform, evaluate the implementation of the 1999 reform package, and identify issues and concerns that warrant further analysis and action.
Abstracts and proposals for sessions are invited in the following areas:
The Context of Reform -- topics related to the growing climate of reform that preceded the Salt Lake City scandal, including (but not limited to): the struggle for gender equity at the Olympics; the growth of critical scholarship and investigative journalism; the Olympic Truce and peace building initiatives; doping scandals and reform initiatives; and the politics of Olympic site selection.
Critical Analysis of the Reform Package – topics related to the IOC 2000 Commission reforms, including (but not limited to): Olympic Solidarity – Sport development and development through sport; WADA and doping; bidding for the Olympic Games before and after Salt Lake City; Olympic legacies; equity, representation, and the structure of the IOC; transparency and communication; and Olympism, education and culture.
Athletes’ Rights – topics related to the influence of IOC reforms on athletes’ rights, including (but not limited to): health, injury, and doping; media rights and the right to speak out; child athletes; sponsorship; labour rights; and other issues concerning the similarities and differences between athletes’ rights and the rights guaranteed to all humans under various international Charters.
Olympic Reform: Monitoring and Advocacy – topics related to monitoring the implementation of reforms and advocating for future reforms, including (but not limited to): Olympics and corporate social responsibility; sport and ‘good governance’; environment and sustainable development; Sport for All; sport for development and peace; legacies; ensuring rights; and conflict resolution.
The conference will feature keynote addresses by international and Canadian sport leaders and scholars, plenary panel discussions, as well as open paper sessions. Conference organizers are encouraging submissions for both individual presentations and session topics. Abstracts should be no longer than 250 words (and include the paper/session title, and presenter’s name and affiliation). Deadline for the submission of abstracts is January 31, 2009.
Submit abstracts and any questions to the Conference Organizer, Russell Field, at: russell.field@utoronto.ca; or to Heather Dichter at: heather.dichter@utoronto.ca

COMPETITION: 2009 Undergraduate Student Essay in Canadian Sports Studies Competition
Research Centre for Sport in Canadian Society (RCSCS)
University of Ottawa
2009 Undergraduate Student Essay in Canadian Sports Studies Competition
Description
Each year, a selection committee composed of RCSCS members awards two prizes of $400 each for the best undergraduate essays in sports studies, i.e. one for the best essay in French, and one for the best essay in English. The names of the winners are posted on the Centre’s web site and are communicated to the list servers of several North American scientific societies. Winning essays are made available on the Centre’s website.
The essays, of approximately twenty to thirty pages in length, focus on an issue connected to sport in Canadian society. More precisely, the essays concentrate on the social, managerial, economic, cultural, historical, ethical or philosophical aspects of sport.
Goals
* Promote student interest for sports studies;
* Promote the image of sports studies in Canadian universities;
* Encourage undergraduate students to enroll in graduate studies in sports studies, most preferably in a Canadian university.
Eligibility
The contest is primarily aimed at students registered in Canadian universities in programs such as Human Kinetics, Canadian Studies, Women’s Studies, as well as in the Social Sciences and Humanities. Students registered in non-Canadian universities are also eligible, as long as the essay is on a Canadian subject.
The paper needs to be the sole creation of the student, meaning that a professor’s involvement cannot exceed that of reviewing the paper for a University course. A written confirmation to that effect may be requested form the student’s professor.
Deadline: Friday, May 29, 2009
Early entries are welcomed at all times.
The essay should be submitted in the form of a printed copy (accompanied by an electronic version on a CD or DVD). It must be mailed on the day of the deadline at the latest, the post office stamp serving as proof.
Winners will be chosen during the course of the summer term. The choice will be made public in September 2009.

CFP: Leisure and North-South Relations
RECALL AND NEW DEADLINE
Leisure & Society
LEISURE AND NORTH-SOUTH RELATIONS
Vol. 32, No. 1, Spring 2009
Guest editors:
Patrick Bouchet and Jean Harvey
Today, no one can deny the transnational social, political and economic importance of leisure. We are looking at major concerns firmly anchored in the lifestyles of different societies, that impact developmental policies to multiple degrees and which cannot be reduced simply to issues of tourism. Nevertheless, today’s leisure activities do not all have the same origins, the same importance, the same derivatives, but vary by continent, country, region… These findings, perhaps trivial in themselves, obscure the fact that there is a lack of scientific work permitting a comparison of the characteristics and structural modes of leisure activities between different regions of the world, and more especially between those in the "South" (more specifically on the African and South-American land masses) and the countries of the "North" (which include the North-American, European and Asian continental areas).
At a time when globalization is in danger of undermining the equilibrium of the economic and professional domains, it would seem legitimate to examine the leisure activities of populations worldwide and to compare both the way they are organized and the place they occupy in the societies concerned. Such an enquiry is most relevant at an epoch where we are witnessing a steady strengthening of the idea of leisure as a developmental tool where the impact of tourism is not the only concern. What is even more interesting is that this avenue of research fits into an overall dynamic framework within which international governmental and non-governmental organizations are multiplying policy actions, and where new social movements are arguing for models other than those of current neoliberal globalization. With this in mind we might ask the following questions: Is there a tendency in Northern and Southern States to bring into alignment their leisure activities, as was somewhat the case during the colonial period? Do they preserve these historical and/or sociocultural characteristics, or do they differentiate themselves, on the basis of their territorial, ethnic, religious or other orientations? What are the world trends and local reactions that emerge from active and passive leisure activities, viewed from the perspective of North-South relationships?
This is the overall thrust of our proposal for a thematic edition of this review, which is calling for a range of papers, that may include comparisons of a specific type of leisure activity amongst States or regions with very different developmental scenarios; of specific populations in certain countries, based on their different social, territorial, ethnic, community, or religious characteristics; or of world developmental initiatives in the field of leisure activities.
Positioning of this proposal
The thrust of this thematic number is therefore the bringing together of international level research work in order to draw up an initial balance sheet of current thinking on this issue, an issue that intimately concerns a number of projects sponsored by the Agence universitaire de la Francophonie or by countries referred to as “developed.” We also wish this number to provide an opportunity to highlight the various issues, both current and future, related to active and passive leisure activities, for Northern and for Southern nations. Without pretending to an all-inclusive portrait, we would welcome different points of view, and complementary or interdependent themes that help initiate an exchange of ideas.
Recommendations to contributors
Texts should reach the guest editors by email before January 29, 2009, and should include:
1) Typescripts in .rtf or .doc format;
2) A title page with the title of the paper and the “Author’s Notes”: name(s) of contributor(s) and institutional affiliation for each one; acknowledgements (expression of thanks, sources of financing); mailing addresses. The first page of the typescript must not include the name(s) or coordinates of the contributor(s);
3) An abstract: one paragraph of no more than 150 words.
Tables, figures and notes must be correctly inserted within the text. Pictures and photos require original resolution of no less than 130 ppi.
Texts should not be longer than 60,000 characters (including spaces).

CFP: 3rd International Qualitative Conference in Sport and Exercise
‘Communicating Experiences’
3rd International Qualitative Conference in Sport and Exercise, 10-12 June 2009
Hosted by the Centre for Scientific and Cultural Research in Sport at Roehampton University, London, UK
Conference website:
http://www.roehampton.ac.uk/communicatingexperiences/index.html
Qualitative research in sport and exercise is increasingly committed to finding ways of communicating the dynamic, embodied, nature of sport and physical activity. Such approaches are central to understanding the complexity of sporting experiences; promoting physical activity for therapeutic gain; enhancing performance in sport; engaging with social inclusion/exclusion initiatives; encouraging care of the athlete; building sustainable communities; and developing effective approaches to leadership and sport development.
This ‘Communicating Experiences’ Conference will build on the cross-disciplinary, innovative and sometimes challenging work presented at past conferences, and provide spaces to reflect and communicate means of refining our methods, and to explore and propose new ways of investigating and representing our social worlds.
This conference aims to be truly multi-disciplinary and provides an excellent opportunity for those from different academic and practitioner communities to share and discuss their experiences of conducting qualitative research and/or working in sport, exercise and physical activity. Attendance and contributions are welcome from experienced and neophyte practitioners and academics in any relevant field including sport psychology, sport sociology, sport and health development, movement therapy, physical education, community and youth work, coaching, drama, music, creative writing, and journalism among others.
We welcome abstracts on any relevant qualitative topics including those that address one or more of the conference themes:
* Performance, Movement and Embodiment
* Inter-Sensory Experience
* Reflecting on Methodologies
* Working with Experience(s)…
* Care of the Athlete
* Identity, Narratives and Memories
Abstracts should be submitted by 26th January 2009, although earlier submission is highly recommended as a high number of submissions is anticipated. Abstracts can be submitted for one of three forms of presentation. Please state which form of presentation clearly on the covering letter:
* oral presentations (15 minutes plus 5 minutes for questions). Both traditional and non-traditional forms of presentation, eg autobiographies, poetry, are welcome
* poster presentations (presenters must be available to present/discuss their poster)
* symposium presentations (1½ hours including time for questions): symposia are organised by a Chair and present four papers by different authors on a particular topic of interest. Please email the Conference Chair Caroline Marlow (email: C.Marlow@Roehampton.ac.uk) if you wish to discuss an idea for a symposium prior to submission. The Chair should submit the four symposium abstracts all together with an overview of the symposium theme. Symposia will be reviewed following the submission deadline to prevent replication of themes. The Symposium Chair will be informed of the outcome by the end of January.
Please send abstracts of 300 words electronically as a Word document in accordance with the following guidelines to the Conference Administrator, Indaka Weerasekera, E-mail: I.Weerasekera@roehampton.ac.uk.

CFP: Special Issue of Ethnologies
Special issue of ç, a yearly journal of Canadian folklore studies
This bilingual journal (English and French) is intended to disseminate knowledge about activities concerning folklore and ethnology, in Canada and elsewhere, through the publication of articles, book reviews, notes, and other information pertaining to research and academic inquiry in all branches of folklore.
We thus invite colleagues working on sport, in Canada or elsewhere, to consider this call for papers:
PLAY
Play has throughout time been a highly contested yet often misunderstood cultural phenomenon. Through its expression it enables the production of culture while at the same time is in itself a cultural product. Games and sports, as they are most broadly perceived, are important sites of identity construction. Whether as a personal or collective celebration, the expressive potentiality of play is profound. This potential, however, is negotiated within the constraints of body, society, culture and the very rules of play. How then is expressivity negotiated within the constraints of games and sports, and how can such a context enable the projection, construction and awareness of self. How does adversity enable the reproduction of identity? In what way does play still provide a means of exploring the limits of one’s body, individuality and culture in order to (re)discover/express one’s identity?
In this special issue of Ethnologies, we invite thoughts on identity games and on performed identity in games and sports. We seek a better understanding of how a player can express and assert himself/herself in leisure or sporting practices, and of the social coherence of these practices.
Submissions can focus on various perspectives, for example:
* Social and symbolic functions and issues of specific games or sports
* Cultural and historical grounding of leisure or sporting events and rites
* Representations of players/athletes in society
* Communities of players and athletes
* Games' and sports’ implicit codes, rules and internal mechanisms
* The socialization and crystallization of ideals through games and sport
* Social tensions created/played out/resolved by games and sports
* Those left out, forgotten, or the losers in games and sports
Other topics related to the theme of this special issue are also welcome.
Submitted articles must be original, 20 double-spaced pages or the equivalent in length (Times New Roman, 12 pts) and can be written in either English or French. They should be accompanied by
* an abstract, and
* a short biography.
Three paper copies of the manuscript, with a separate title page for anonymous review, are to be sent to the journal (see address below). An electronic version should also be sent to the guest editors. Photos or other illustrations (format tif or jpeg with at least 300 ppp resolution) should be sent separately with a clear indication of where in the body of the article they should appear.
The deadline for submissions is 18 September 2009.

CFP: Special Issue on Entrepreneurial Sports Brands
Journal of Brand Management
Special Issue on Entrepreneurial Sports Brands
Brands are an important part of the sports industry, and as this industry has a multi-billion dollar global sales revenue, the entrepreneurial ways of utilizing brands in sport is crucial. Entrepreneurial sports brands are brands that have been innovative, risk taking or proactive in their approach to managing their brand. Innovative, risk taking and proactive entrepreneurial strategies appeal to sports companies, sports organizations and sport stars wanting to stay ahead of their competition. Additionally, entrepreneurial sports brands, in many cases, engage in philanthropic and social causes that differentiate them from other brands in the market. With sports television telecasts and sporting events attracting high numbers of worldwide audiences it is through innovative branding techniques (for example, the partnering with non-profit groups, such as the Nike and Lance Armstrong's Live Strong Campaign collaboration), that companies stay innovative. Other companies in the sports industry have been risk takers by entering niche markets such as snowboarding, as in the case of Oakley and Tag Heuer, in order to evolve and to become global brands that have a lifestyle appeal. Moreover, companies are often entrepreneurial by proactively hiring athletes that have an image that mirrors their brand (Yoon and Choi, 2005).
The entrepreneurial nature of sports brands means that, as they are constantly changing and evolving, they have triggered interest from complementary sectors in technology and education (Ross, 2007). There have been numerous studies examining branding in sports, such as brand loyalty in professional sports (Kaynak, Salman and Tatoglu, 2008), branding in college sports (Donavan, Janda and Suh, 2008) and branding in event sponsorship (Gwinner and Eaton, 1999). However, less is known about how entrepreneurship ties in with brand management. In particular, more academic and practitioner interest is required on how to utilize entrepreneurial strategies to build brands, and on the development of corporate and social entrepreneurship in managing sports brands.
This special issue aims to capture the entrepreneurial spirit of sporting brands by providing a forum of discussion of ideas across the spectrum of brand management. A mix of academic and practitioner orientated papers will be included in the special journal issue. In addition, it is hoped that papers will come from various geographic locations around the world. Examples of possible topics that can be included in the special issue are:
* Entrepreneurial drivers of sporting brand value
* How to utilize entrepreneurial branding in global sport companies portfolio management
* Entrepreneurial purchasing and sale of sporting brands
* Innovative marketing techniques of sport stars to become brands
* How visual aids can be used entrepreneurially in sports branding
* How to entrepreneurially manage sporting brands
* Examples of entrepreneurial sports brand experiences
* How innovative technology such as podcasts and interactive television have affected sporting brands
* The role of social entrepreneurial marketing in developing sports brands
All types of methodologies including qualitative and quantitative are welcome in this special issue. The deadline for papers is August 1st 2009. All papers will be double blind peer reviewed and follow the Journal of Brand Management author guidelines found at www.palgrave-journals.com/bm.instructions.html. Any questions about the special issue can be directed to the guest editor. Submissions should be sent in a word document format to the guest editor:

The entrepreneurial nature of sports brands means that, as they are constantly changing and evolving, they have triggered interest from complementary sectors in technology and education (Ross, 2007). There have been numerous studies examining branding in sports, such as brand loyalty in professional sports (Kaynak, Salman and Tatoglu, 2008), branding in college sports (Donavan, Janda and Suh, 2008) and branding in event sponsorship (Gwinner and Eaton, 1999). However, less is known about how entrepreneurship ties in with brand management. In particular, more academic and practitioner interest is required on how to utilize entrepreneurial strategies to build brands, and on the development of corporate and social entrepreneurship in managing sports brands.
This special issue aims to capture the entrepreneurial spirit of sporting brands by providing a forum of discussion of ideas across the spectrum of brand management. A mix of academic and practitioner orientated papers will be included in the special journal issue. In addition, it is hoped that papers will come from various geographic locations around the world. Examples of possible topics that can be included in the special issue are:
* Entrepreneurial drivers of sporting brand value
* How to utilize entrepreneurial branding in global sport companies portfolio management
* Entrepreneurial purchasing and sale of sporting brands
* Innovative marketing techniques of sport stars to become brands
* How visual aids can be used entrepreneurially in sports branding
* How to entrepreneurially manage sporting brands
* Examples of entrepreneurial sports brand experiences
* How innovative technology such as podcasts and interactive television have affected sporting brands
* The role of social entrepreneurial marketing in developing sports brands
All types of methodologies including qualitative and quantitative are welcome in this special issue. The deadline for papers is August 1st 2009. All papers will be double blind peer reviewed and follow the Journal of Brand Management author guidelines found at www.palgrave-journals.com/bm.instructions.html. Any questions about the special issue can be directed to the guest editor. Submissions should be sent in a word document format to the guest editor:
