Call for Papers

The College Sport Research Institute welcomes the submission of abstracts for its 5th annual CSRI

Conference on College Sport to be held on the campus of The University of North Carolina at

Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC. The conference’s mission is to: “Provide students, scholars, and

college-sport practitioners a public forum to discuss relevant and timely intercollegiate-athletics

issues.”

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

To be considered for acceptance, abstracts must reflect college-sport research on the history of

intercollegiate athletics, social-cultural college-sport issues, legal theory or the application of law

to college-sport issues, business-related issues in college sport, or special topics related to current

college-sport issues. The research should have reached a fairly complete stage of

development, and the abstract should provide enough detail about the research, so the

reviewers have sufficient information to judge its quality. Abstracts proposing teaching-related

sessions on college-sport issues will also be considered, as long as the abstract provides sufficient

detail to judge the quality of the proposed session.

Abstracts will undergo a multi-person, blind-review process to determine acceptance.

Abstracts submitted to CSRI should not be concurrently submitted for consideration to another

conference.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE:

Abstracts should NOT be submitted prior to Monday, October 17, 2011 and MUST

be received no later than Friday, January 20, 2012 (11:59p.m. EST). Submissions
