CFP: Sports and Violence Conference

SPORTS AND VIOLENCE CONFERENCE
March 19, 2016 @ Ashland University, Ashland OH
Joe Ehrmann, Keynote
Call for Papers (submit here)

Proposals due by October 31, 2015

(Conference registration is limited to 200 attendees.) 

* CEU's offered for this event. Approval lies with participant's school district or professional organization

Americans love sports. An estimated 35 to 50 million American youth play organized sports, the Super Bowl regularly attracts over 160 million viewers, and sports figures are among America’s most recognized celebrities.

Yet on the heels of recent media attention to concussions in football and domestic violence in the NFL, there is currently great interest among coaches and athletes at all levels, as well as many others, to come to practical terms with violence associated with competitive contact sports. There are, moreover, questions about the relationship between sports violence and other habits and behaviors among athletes and spectators, the formation of virtue in sports, moral education in sports, and the intersection of sports, gender, and violence.

In some cases, sports function to inculcate virtue and channel aggression as an alternative to conflict. This analogy, following some theorists, holds true within spectators as well, who through their support of the aggression on the field cathartically direct their passion into their support of the game.

These positive effects stand alongside other descriptions of sports as producing “casualties of war” such as injured (especially concussed) players with a determination to “play through it,” often leading to long-term effects for the players.

By investigating the complex relationship between sports and violence at multiple levels (athlete, fan, society) and from a variety of different angles (sociological, historical, practical, medical), the 2016 Ashland Center for Nonviolence Sports and Violence conference seeks to advance important and timely conversations in an interdisciplinary fashion that will appeal to a broad range of groups.

The Sports and Violence Conference will be held on March 19, 2016 on the campus of Ashland University in Ashland, Ohio.

We are seeking paper and panel proposals that engage the conference theme. Papers may vary across disciplines and emphasize either practical or theoretical considerations. We also welcome proposals that engage one or more sphere of life: religion, business, education, the social sector (e.g. family), arts and entertainment, government, media. Presenters who wish to engage technical academic debates are welcome to do so, but should avoid jargon and be aware that the conference audience will be diverse, including students from various backgrounds, non-scholars or practitioners from the community, coaches, athletes, and scholars from multiple disciplines.

Abstracts of no more than 300 words should be submitted using the online submission form here before October 31, 2015. Presenters should plan on a 20 minute paper or presentation with time for questions and discussion. We also welcome panel proposals.

The conference organizers are considering publishing a selection of the papers, depending on submissions. Please indicate in your proposal whether you are willing to produce a version of your presentation for publication.

Possible topics for individual papers and panels might include (but are not limited to):

• Successful efforts by teams at addressing off-field violence
• Virtue formation (e.g. sportsmanship) and athletic training
• Sports and catharsis (social and individual)
• Sports, bodily practice, and identity formation
• Discriminating between “violence” and “force” in sports
• The ethics of spectating
• Sports camaraderie and competition as assets for peacebuilding
• Financial remuneration, sports, and violence
• Sports and trauma
• Sports, psychological conditioning, and violence
• Sports, religion, and violence
• The intersection of sports, a philosophy of embodiment, and violence
• War-making and sports as comparative practices
• Gendered sports and gendered violence
• The possibility of “nonviolent” sports
• National identity, sports, and violence
• Sports, drug abuse, and violence
• Sports, physical activity, and social responsibility
• Globalization, sports, and international dis/unity 

More conference details will follow on ashland.edu/acnconference and acn.nationbuilder.com

CONFERENCE: Play the Game 2015

International sport is challenged as ever before. FIFA seems to implode under the weight of its own mismanagement, international track and field is back in the doping spotlight, and the IOC struggles to gain new credibility and public support for its global events.

Academic research and analysis is needed, and therefore I remind you of the international conference Play the Game 2015 from 25 to 29 October in Aarhus, Denmark, with the title "Global sport: Reform or revolution?"

Over 125 speakers, including some of the world’s leading academic experts, investigative journalists, policy makers and whistleblowers will discuss how to make progress on a number of burning issues in sport:

·         The revolt against global events: A perfect storm for sport?

·         Governments vs. fixers: Will the rule of law beat the law of the jungle?

·         Good governance in sport: Setting standards, raising bars

·         A new World Code against doping: Anybody willing to comply?

·         The deadly disease of inactivity: Is the world ready for a cure?

·         Transfers and trafficking: The human cost of broken dreams

·         College sport in the USA: Unprotected amateurs in a billion-dollar business

Since 1997, Play the Game has been the first international conference to break sports political taboos such as the use of EPO, corruption in IOC and FIFA, illegal doping trade and match-fixing.Today, the direct approach to sensitive issues, the unrestricted debate and the outstanding networking opportunities still makes Play the Game a unique forum for identifying the challenges to modern sport and paving the way for solutions.

The list of speakers published at www.playthegame.org/2015 includes as diverse names and stakeholders as

• Richard W. Pound, IOC Doyen and former President of WADA
• Declan Hill, PhD and investigative journalist, expert in matchfixing
• Sandro Donati, leading anti-doping researcher and whistleblower for over 25 years
• Sarah Lewis, CEO of the International Ski Federation (FIS) and member of IOC’s Agenda 2020 Committee
• Jean-Claude Mbvoumin, founder of Foot Solidaire and pioneer in fighting illegal trafficking
• Pâquerette Girard-Zappeli, Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer at the IOC
• Andrew Zimbalist, leading international sports economist and author of “Circus Maximus”
• Bonita Mersiades and Jaimie Fuller, founders of #NewFIFAnow
• Jérôme Champagne, former deputy secretary general of FIFA

Also a broad variety of intergovernmental institutions and NGO’s are represented, such as the Council of Europe, Amnesty International, Terre des Hommes, UNESCO and the European Union. During the conference, Play the Game

will launch the first full analysis of the governance standards of all 35 international Olympic sports federations, the Sports Governance Observer report.

The practicalities

The conference fee of 750€ covers all lunches, dinners, coffee breaks, social and cultural activities during the conference. Hotels can be booked at favourable rates. Play the Game is not-for-profit and the conference fee only covers a small part of the expenses.

If you wish to contribute actively with a presentation on one of the main themes, there are still a few available slots. Please contact international director of Play the Game, Jens Sejer Andersen, at jens@playthegame.org

Updated information on Play the Game 2015 can be found at www.playthegame.org/2015

We look forward to an exciting conference and sincerely hope to welcome you to Play the Game 2015.

CFP: Innovations in Sport for Development and Peace (SDP) Research

Call for Papers: Innovations in Sport for Development and Peace (SDP) Research
May 31-June 1, 2016
Sports, Society, and Technology Program
School of History and Sociology
Georgia Institute of Technology
Atlanta, GA USA
Colloquium Organizers: Mary McDonald, Megan Chawansky, Lyndsay Hayhurst and Cathy van Ingen

Overview: Building on the success of last summer’s Girlhood, International Development and Sport workshop at the University of Ottawa, we are pleased to invite proposals for participation in a colloquium on Innovations in Sport for Development and Peace (SDP) Research. While proposals do not need to consider the specific themes of gender or girlhood, we especially welcome contributions that focus on these areas. The goal of this colloquium is to anticipate, inspire and shape the next phase of research in, on and about SDP.

In this colloquium, we encourage scholars to address the above theme with theoretical, empirical or creative formats and are particularly interested in attracting scholars writing on or about SDP from interdisciplinary perspectives and the disciplines of history, sociology, political science, international studies, gender studies and development studies. We anticipate a range of paper topics and encourage contributors to explore new terrain and create unique paths. This includes providing insights from theoretical points of view including, but not limited to: critical, feminist, post-colonial or cultural studies perspectives. Some potential questions that also might be explored include: How do ever-evolving development and conflict situations stimulate new considerations from scholars working in the field of SDP? Will the United Nations’ recently released Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) inspire new ways of doing and theorizing SDP research and practice? What theoretical and methodological insights and challenges are afforded from research partnerships between researchers, local communities and practitioners? Have innovations in monitoring and evaluation (M&E) practices delivered new insights for the field? What can (sport) history tell us about the use of sport for development and peace purposes?

These questions are merely suggestive as we are open to a range of papers that address innovative theoretical, methodological, and substantive issues and questions. Those working in the various domains of the SDP sector are welcome to submit proposals and should note the event’s emphasis on research. We are investigating possibilities to live stream the workshop and thus welcome contributions from those unable to physically join us in Atlanta. Colloquium organizers are currently investigating suitable publication outlets for the collection of manuscripts presented in this workshop

If interested please submit a 500 word abstract and a 200 word biography to Dr. Mary McDonald (mary.mcdonald@hsoc.gatech.edu) by November 10, 2015. Those selected will be notified by November 30, 2015 and required to provide a 5,000-7,000-word paper by April 15, 2016. Selected participants will present a 15-20 minute version of their longer paper at the workshop, which will also be read and commented upon by other participants. Financial support will be provided for two nights of accommodation, and meals during the duration of the workshop. This workshop will be held just after (May 31-June 1, 2016) the annual meeting of the North American Society for Sport History (NASSH) at the Georgia Tech hotel and Conference Center (May 27-30). Participants are strongly encouraged to attend both events and to also present their scholarship at NASSH. Please also contact Mary McDonald with any questions.

CFP: The Hockey Conference 2016

THE HOCKEY CONFERENCE 
Call for Abstracts
Putting It On Ice V: The Multiplicity of Hockey
 University of New Brunswick Fredericton NB, Canada
 July 6-8, 2016

The Hockey Conference invites abstract submissions from scholars and artists in various fields, whose work engages with the sport of hockey (in its diverse forms) in a multitude of ways, including (but not limited to) artistically, historically, empirically, and conceptually. Submissions will be accepted from October 30, 2015 until December 4, 2015.

Hockey is a sport that is played and experienced in many different ways. This sport is ever changing, influenced by factors such as globalization, the market, health and safety concerns, and the diversity of those participating in it. This edition of the hockey conference seeks to provide an interdisciplinary forum for researchers to present their work and facilitate discussion surrounding the sport’s increased multiplicity related to the following areas:
- Gender and Sexuality
- Community Building and Development
- Race and Ethnicity
- Globalization
- Embodiment and Ability
- Business
- Media
- Popular Culture
- Literature
- Analytics
- Family
- History
- And more…

During this conference, participants will explore the many ways we conceive of, experience, organize, and/or participate in hockey.

CFP: Sport, Physical Culture, and the Environment - Special Issue of Sociology of Sport Journal

Call for Papers
Sport, Physical Culture, and the Environment
Special Issue of Sociology of Sport Journal
Guest Editors: Kyle Bunds and Jonathan Casper

The “environment”, as a “complex system of physical, chemical, and biotic factors that act upon an organism or an ecological community and ultimately determine its form of survival”, changes by both naturally (e.g. volcanic eruptions, glaciation, etc.) and nonnaturally (e.g. manmade alterations) occurring circumstances (Johnson et al., 1997). In the last decade especially, there has been increased public debate if not outcry from scientists, politicians, parochial vicars, and everyday citizens on the human impacts of altering the natural environment, especially in terms of global warming, fracking, and water crises.

The sporting domain has not been immune to these debates. In recent years, we have witnessed Detroit prioritize stadium and entertainment district development over people in need of water; golf courses over fertilizing their property without regard for the local ecology, and global warming altering the way we engage in sport. Thus, it is not surprising that conversations over the relationship between sport and the environment have become widespread in many areas related to business, science, and government.

This we have seen most notably with the National Resource Defense Council’s (NRDC) focus on sport and environmental sustainability, as well as the formation of the Green Sport Alliance in 2011, which brings together industry stakeholders from eight major league sports, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Bonneville Environmental Foundation, facility managers, marketing directors, and other sports leaders to learn best practices and innovations in green operations, fan engagement, and so forth. Same, too, for the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf, which offers scholarships and training for golf course managers, scientists, tourism specialists, and conservationists, and charitable organizations such as Run for Water, which utilizes sporting events and branding as part of its mission to provide clean drinking water to those in the Global South. Notably absent from the above examples, however, is that these organizations rarely mention the sociological importance of these environmental issues, nor are (sport) sociologists frequently privileged in such spaces or scholarly discussions (with some notable exceptions, e.g., Hayes & Karamichas, 2012; Millington & Wilson, 2013; Mincyte, Casper, & Cole, 2009; Perkins, Mincyte, & Cole, 2010; Wilson & Millington, 2015).

This special issue of the Sociology of Sport Journal thus seeks contributions that critically examine, debate, and shed light on the intersection of sport, physical culture, and the environment. We are especially interested in critical, empirical and theoretical manuscripts focusing on issues related to:
• The political ecology of sport and the environment
• The body, health, and the environment
• The biopolitics of climate change and environmental policy
• Critical examinations of “green” technology and “green” marketing
• Sport, environmental justice, and social movements
• Leisure, recreation, and the politics of the environment
• How sport organizations and public policy impact the built environment
• The adoption of ecologically friendly practices (e.g. Golf course ecology, LEED certified arenas, etc.)
• Sport organizations and pro-environmental behavioral change
• How global warming alters the way people participate in sport and physical activity

Authors should follow the “Submission Guidelines for Authors” used in every issue of the Sociology of Sport Journal found at http://journals.humankinetics.com/submissionguidelines-for-ssj. All papers should be no more than 8,000 words including endnotes and reference list. Submit original manuscripts online: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/hk_ssj

Medical and digital technologies play an increasingly significant role in how athletes, coaches, and exercisers calculate, record and share their performances, and track and monitor bodily processes and functions. The use of such technologies is contributing to new ways of understanding (and disciplining) the body, health, performance, and selfhood. This two-year post-doctoral fellowship is open to researchers who have a passion for conducting original and independent research on the use of sport, exercise and/ or health technologies. The research focus is intentionally broad, in the hope that applicants will bring their own passion and skills to the position to design original projects that build upon their areas of expertise, and make connections with other researchers in the University. Applicants may have quantitative and/ or qualitative backgrounds, but must have a proven ability to conduct research and publish independently, and have an interest in working collaboratively with various stakeholders, and perhaps with an interdisciplinary research team.

The successful candidate will have completed their PhD upon application (or evidence from Chief supervisor that the applicant is on track to complete their PhD by the commencement of the Fellowship in January 2016); a record of publishing in international, peer-reviewed academic sources; demonstrated ability to participate in collaborative research projects; and good written and spoken communication skills.

Salary will be in the range NZ$69,379 to $84,706 per year, depending on qualifications, skills and experience.
