BOOK: Diversity in Sport
Message from professor Eric Anderson
Hey Nassers,
My friend, George Cunningham, at Texas A&M, has put together an edited volume on sexual orientation and gender identity in sport. The book is up-to-date, highly accessible, and quite interesting because it includes chapters not only from academics, but activists and coaches as well. Best of all, it’s available as a free download here: www.diversityinsport.com.

CFP: Cultural Studies<=>Critical Methodologies
"Moving Biopolitics"
A Special Issue of the journal Cultural Studies<=>Critical Methodologies
Michael Giardina & Joshua Newman, Guest Editors
Who is claiming the body? Who claims how we should know the body, its uses, and its effects? Whose interests intercede upon our everyday lives, and the everyday uses of our own individual bodies? In keeping with the mission of Cultural Studies<=>Critical Methodologies to provide an explicit forum for the intersections of cultural studies, critical interpretive research methodologies, and cultural critique, we solicit contributions which seek to achieve and/or address at least one (and ideally all three) of the following goals as they relate to conceptions of 'moving biopolitics':
1) advance the critical interrogation of the biopolitics of human 'movement' – extending, through empirical and/or theoretical exploration, those issues raised by the likes of Foucault, Agamben, Rose, Kristeva, Clough, and Esposito (and many others) around technologies of bioscientific and biotechnological control (particularly how they relate to active forms of embodiment and physical culture, broadly conceived);
2) Explore ways in which we might 'move' within (or out of) regimes and systems of biopolitical subjectivity (see, e.g., Hardt & Negri, Nancy, and others), and explore how we might move biopolitics, move with(in) biopolitics, and move against contemporary (neoliberal) biopolitics?;
3) Utilize evocative, emotive, 'moving' methods of writing, representation, and performance to bring to light contemporary biopolitical struggles, contestations, and power relations – producing creative interplays between bodies and texts, the theoretical and sensual, research techniques and bodily pleasure.
Abstracts of no more than 250 words should be submitted jointly to Michael Giardina (mgiardina@fsu.edu) and Joshua Newman (jinewman@fsu.edu) by 1 October, 2012. Those invited to contribute will be expected to submit full papers in January 2013.

Pre-NASSS: "Culture and the Active Body: Toward Interdisciplinary Action"
Dear colleagues,
We are proud to announce the launch of the Center for Physical Cultural Studies at Florida State University. The Center aims to provide a collaborative focal point from which faculty and students in sport studies, communication, sociology, and the medical sciences can explore how cultures of the moving body--as produced in various sport, athletic, and performance-based contexts--create identity, power and knowledge, equality and inequality, disparate health outcomes, and opportunity and limitations for various populations.
In conjunction with the launch of the Center, we are hosting a pre-NASSS symposium on November 5-6 in Tallahassee, Florida, on the theme "Culture and the Active Body: Toward Interdisciplinary Action". Confirmed plenary speakers include: David Andrews, John Amis, Michael Atkinson, Michele Donnelly, Mark Falcous, Billy Hawkins, Shannon Jette, Ryan King-White, and Richard Pringle. We will also be screening the documentary film Pink Ribbons, Inc., based on the book of the same title by Samantha King. The symposium is free and open to the public. If you are interested in attending, please feel free to contact us at fsupcs@gmail.com . (FYI, Tallahassee is roughly a six-hour drive from New Orleans).
For more information on the Center, its goals, affiliated faculty and doctoral fellows, and current research projects, please visit http://pcs.coe.fsu.edu
For information on the symposium, please visit http://pcs.coe.fsu.edu/
Sincerely,
Michael Giardina & Joshua Newman
