CFS: 2011 NASSS Conference

Call for Session Proposals

2011 North American Society for the Sociology of Sport Conference

Minneapolis, MN • November 2-5 2011

We are now calling for sessions to be scheduled within the 2011 NASSS Conference Program. Each session will be 90 minutes long and should be related to the conference theme, when possible.

The Program Committee has chosen the following theme for the 2011 conference:

1. Type of session. [Here, specify whether the session is one of the following 3 types: (a) paper presentations session (usually includes 3 or 4 papers that are presented orally); (b) a panel or round table session (usually allows for a session organizer to invite 3 or more participants to discuss a specific theme - such participants do not present a paper per se and do not submit an abstract); or (c) workshop session (these sessions are designed to incorporate

a lot of interaction around a particular topic that may be more practically oriented).]

2. Title of the session (maximum of 20 words)

3. A short description of the proposed session (maximum of 200 words)

4. The name, affiliation (university or institution) and email address of the organiser(s).
