The University of Huddersfield is to host a conference on Sport and
Oral History in April 2009.
The conference is being run by the University’s Media and Journalism
Department in association with the History Department and is an
outcome of the University’s Up and Under rugby league oral history
project (see: www.rugbyleagueoralhistory.co.uk )
The conference will be held on Friday April 3rd and Saturday April 4th
2009 at the University of Huddersfield in West Yorkshire.
We are inviting papers on the subject of Sport and Oral History,
particularly any papers dealing with the subject of rugby league.
We would however also welcome papers that cover a range of sports
examining the social and cultural impact of those sports on the wider
communities as well as the social history of particular sports.
Submissions from academics and non-academics are welcomed.
Submissions should be no more than 500 words and should be sent to
either Stephen Kelly at s.f.kelly@hud.ac.uk or Dr Rob Light at r.f.light@hud.ac.uk
by January 31st 2009. Earlier notification of interest would be much
appreciated.
