CONFERENCE: 8th eass conference at Umeå University

Your are invited to the 8th eass conference at Umeå University, Wednesday 18 to Sunday 22 May 2011. In Umeå we welcome social scientists with empirical, theoretical and cross disciplinary studies on the conference theme

People in motion - bridging the local and global

Sport is a cultural expression in societies all over the world. Seen as an international language, sport bridges the local and global. Sport is by the engagement of the body, the equipment and the place a local phenomenon. At the same time the social significance of sport is global. Thus studies on sport and people in motion are important with local as well as global perspectives. These issues are the main themes of the 8th eass conference in Umeå 2011.

See you in Umeå!
