BSA Journal Sociology Special Issue 2011
CALL FOR PAPERS
Deadline reminder: 31 July 2010
The deadline for submissions to the Sociology special issue on the 2012 London Olympic and Paralympic Games is approaching and we wish to encourage all interested colleagues to submit.
The 2012 London Olympic and Paralympic Games provide an exciting focus for sociological analyses of the personal and public, local and global. The special issue, to be published in 2011, provides an opportunity to contribute timely reflections on the sociological interest and significance of this global event in UK and comparative context. It aims to bring together strong theoretical, empirical and methodological contributions from across the field of sociology, demonstrating the ways in which the discipline can use the backdrop of the games to examine sporting, political, cultural, economic and global events.
Possible themes and topics include the following:
• Nationhood, participation, identity and citizenship
• Cooperation, competition and global politics
• Work, economy and the service sector
• Sociology of sport and the body
• Children and young people
• Leisure and tourism
• Community and city
• Megaprojects and regeneration
• Crime, safety and surveillance
• Sociology of disability
• Sociology of London
The special issue will be edited by Amanda Coffey, Tom Hall, Sally Power and Amanda Robinson. The editors welcome contributions from sociologists working across the range of interests published in the journal and from those at early stages of their career as well as those who are more established.
