CFP: “Olympic Reform: A Ten-Year Review”
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 March 15, 2009.
The conference website will be up shortly, and further information
about the programme and speakers will also be posted.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Southern Sport Management Association’s (SSMA) annual conference with MTSU’s Journal of Sport Administration and Supervision (JSAS)
Sun Belt Institutions Announce
Partnership Between Journal
and Sport Management Conference
TROY, Ala.—Sport management faculty members at Sun Belt Conference institutions Troy University and Middle Tennessee State University today announced a strategic partnership between the Southern Sport Management Association’s (SSMA) annual conference with MTSU’s Journal of Sport Administration and Supervision (JSAS).
Dr. Fred Green, professor and faculty athletics representative at Troy and founder of SSMA, and Dr. Colby B. Jubenville, associate professor of sport management at MTSU and publisher of JSAS, announced the partnership by stating that the purpose behind the partnership was to unite two academic-based entities that shared a common mission of serving practitioners in the field of sport management.
“As more people are embracing the vision of this conference, its regional footprint is taking shape, and information that is relative and pertinent to practitioners is being disseminated,” Green said.
“Troy saw a great opportunity to connect with a fellow Sun Belt Conference institution through a synergetic relationship with JSAS.”
Such synergy, Jubenville said, revolves around the commonalities of the two entities.
“Our vision is for the journal to provide practical academic research that can be used by professionals in the sport industry to help them do their jobs better,” Jubenville said.
“Since SSMA involves both sport academicians and practitioners with students at its annual conference, it obviously shares some important core values with us, and connecting the two was a practical way to further the missions of both entities.”
SSMA will host its 5th Southern Sport Management Conference at Troy University in Troy, Ala., April 16-17, 2009. The conference aims to provide a blend of sport management academicians and practitioners who champion meaningful research and best practices to students seeking to become successful sport managers.
Prior conferences featured presentations by sport management professors from nine states in the Southeast, as well as numerous practitioners, including athletic directors, marketing professionals, team owners, sport agents, recreation directors, sports festival directors, radio personalities, and collegiate licensing directors.
Green began to formulate his vision for SSMA over seven years ago, seeking to create an affordable regional conference in the Southeast, which boasts a heavy concentration of sport management academic programs.
His vision was to provide a vehicle for professors and students to interact with professionals and discuss ways to improve the sport management discipline and the sport industry.
Jubenville was one colleague with whom Green frequently shared his vision.
“Fred and I talked about the conference for a number of years. To his great credit, he helped bring it to fruition, and our academic discipline, industry, region, and students are all better for it,” Jubenville said.
Spurred on by practitioner-oriented colleagues in the sport management academy like Green, Jubenville co-founded JSAS in 2007 along with Dr. Benjamin Goss, an assistant professor at Missouri State University.
“Ben and I saw a great deal of solid, practical sport management research coming from academic institutions that wasn’t being published by mainstream peer-reviewed sport management journals,” Jubenville said.
“We also saw a desperate need for an outlet to distribute research that wouldn’t intimidate or confuse practitioners and that was readily accessible to them, so we put together the blueprint for JSAS.”
Accordingly, Jubenville and Goss established JSAS with a mission “to develop, advance, disseminate, promote, and preserve knowledge within the academic discipline of sport management by providing an outlet that is both grounded in academic theory and driven by the needs of practitioners and the environment of the sport industry.”
Four primary drivers advance the mission, including:
Phenomenology, which shifts research focus in the sport management academy toward a more precise study of distinct phenomena, ideas, and events
Development of the Scholarly Sport Practitioner by serving as a channel of pragmatic information that encourages practitioners in the sport management field to champion ethics and pioneer innovation by helping create a greater understanding of the applicability of sport management research to their organizations, job duties, and skills
Development of social responsibility in sport organizations and stakeholders by publishing research that will enable sport organizations and stakeholders to better understand and function in their roles within sport, one of society’s more prominent, preeminent, pervasive, and powerful social institutions
Open access, which will allow the journal to disseminate research knowledge in a format that is readily and globally accessible to scholars, practitioners, students, media, and the public
To coincide with the conference opening, JSAS will publish its inaugural issue in mid-April 2009.
Goss, who serves as the journal’s editor, noted that the relationship between the conference and journal would provide a boost for both that neither could achieve alone.
“Without question, JSAS couldn’t have chosen a better partner than SSMA,” Goss said, “and the reason the partnership will be successful is because it brings a voice—which is the journal—together with a vehicle, which is the conference.
“While both the voice and the vehicle have separate strengths, they become much stronger and salient together,” Goss said.
“As time goes on, I believe we will see specific advances in the sport industry that will be direct results of this partnership, and I am anxious to watch them unfold.”

CFP: Special Issue: “Sport, Language, and Culture”
CALL FOR MANUSCRIPTS
Special Issue: “Sport, Language, and Culture”
Guest Editors: Kelby K. Halone, West Virginia University Lindsey J. Meân, Arizona State University
Journal: Journal of Language and Social Psychology
Overview:
The domain of sport is a linguistically rich locale for understanding processes and practices of everyday life. An overview of the interdisciplinary sport research intimates how processes of language play a central and critical role in understanding a host of personal, relational, health, group, intergroup, organizational, political, mediated, and public settings. These settings give rise to an array of language-based considerations at micro, meso, and macro levels.
Research on sport has historically endorsed disciplinary assumptions that privilege an understanding of sport from psychological and sociological paradigms, but with a limited focus on the language-based processes that literally constitute and regulate the enactment, organization, (re)production, and consumption of sport.
What remains absent from this interdisciplinary body of scholarship is a focused consideration of the centrality of language in/about sport. Thus the special issue aims to provide a scholarly outlet to collectively articulate and illustrate language-based research (in all of its respective manifestations) to advance and promote: (a) the interdisciplinary literature on sport; (b) theory and research at the intersection of the language and sport disciplines; (c) the intellectual legitimacy of language-based disciplines; (d) opportunities to facilitate a coherent, diversified—yet unified—language-based research agenda on sport.
Scholarly manuscripts that empirically examine the centrality of language to processes, dynamics, and outcomes of sport in/and culture will be considered. All methodological approaches to the study of language, sport, and culture are welcomed. It is hoped that the special issue will provide a pluralistic representation of the diversity of research (e.g., language; discourse; communication; sport) that contribute to the intellectual intersections among the burgeoning domain of scholarship. To that end, the author(s) must clearly articulate the theoretical framework(s) and methodological position(s) that ground their empirical analyses, and how their respective approach contributes to the developing understandings of sport, language, and culture.
Manuscripts should be advanced electronically by May 1, 2009 to both
editors: Kelby K. Halone (kelby.halone@mail.wvu.edu) and Lindsey J. Meân (lmean@asu.edu). Submission should include two separate attachments: (a) a cover sheet with the title, author(s), affiliation(s), full contact information, brief biographical information, and acknowledgements; (b) the manuscript proper. No identifying reference to the author(s) should be in the manuscript text or notes. All manuscripts should follow the guidelines in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th edition) and should be prepared in accordance with the "Manuscript Submission Guidelines" found in published editions of the Journal of Language and Social Psychology. Manuscripts should typically not exceed 25 typewritten pages (excluding notes, references, tables, and figures; located on separate pages). An abstract of no more than 200 words and a maximum of eight keywords should accompany the manuscript. A statement acknowledging that the manuscript has not been submitted elsewhere for consideration should be included in the cover materials.
If electronic submission poses a hardship, please contact either editor by e-mail or by phone (Halone: 304.293.3905; Meân: 602.543.6682) to arrange an alternative submission format. Advanced queries about the suitability or appropriateness of a submission and/or the special issue are both appreciated and welcomed.

The course will be of interest to graduate and undergraduate students interested in international sport business, sport management, globalization, culture, and the production and consumption of sport. In addition to formal academic lectures and readings the course features lectures from and discussions with industry executives, and 'behind the scenes' tours of the organizations that we visit. The organizations that we plan to visit this year include the FA Premier League, Octagon, Visa, BSkyB television, Arsenal Football Club, the Rugby Football Union, British Olympic Association, Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Club, and Lord's Cricket Ground. Once again, we will be running the program in conjunction with the University of Maryland.
Students can earn 6 credits (2 courses) for participating in the program.
A major reason for the success of the program in previous years has been the diversity of students that have participated from different universities across North America, including Arkansas State University, Clemson University, University of Denver, George Washington University, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, University of Iowa, Laurentian University, University of Maryland, University of Michigan, Mount Union College, Rice University, University of San Francisco, Towson University, and University of Windsor.
I am hoping that you would be willing to publicize the program among folks that might be interested at your institution. If you could post the attached flyer, and/or contact directly any students that you feel may find this program interesting, I would be most appreciative. Please have anybody that would like more information contact me directly (johnamis@memphis.edu) or visit the website (www.memphis.edu/hss/london). There are also quotes from students and photos from previous trips on the website.
Best wishes,
John Amis, PhD
