ABSTRACT DEADLINE EXTENDED TO APRIL 20.
Now in its sixth year, the Graduate Research Conference is designed to
bring together graduate students to share their research in a positive
environment and to engage with other students and ideas from across
the many disciplines that comprise studies in sport, health and
physical activity. We welcome students from cultural studies, nursing,
motor control, education, sociology, kinesiology, physiology,
nutrition, sexual diversity studies and many others.
Students can present research 'in progress', test out ideas for a
thesis or dissertation proposal, make a dry run of a future conference
paper or present original research.

Ann Peel is a former international class racewalker who competed for
Canada in the 80's. Early in her career she became an advocate for
athletes and for women's full participation in sport. With Bruce Kidd
she led a successful international campaign for the inclusion of the
women's racewalk in international competitions, and co-founded
Athletes CAN in 1991. She now works with young athletes to educate
them about the conditions under which they play sports, coaches, and

Simon C. Darnell is a graduate of the Faculty of Physical Education
and Health at the University of Toronto and currently a post-doctoral

examined the marketing and media coverage of celebrity Olympic
athletes in Canada. His current project explores how and where sport
fits into the macro-politics of international development since World
War II. His work has appeared in Sport in Society, the International
