CFP: 7th Annual KNES Physical Cultural Studies Graduate Student Conference - University of Maryland
Call For Abstracts: The 7th Annual Physical Cultural Studies Graduate Student Conference:
“Epistemological Chasms: Seeking Methods for a Socially (In)Just World”
Friday April 25th, 2014
Physical Cultural Studies (PCS) – housed within the Department of Kinesiology in the School of Public Health at the University of Maryland – is hosting their 7th Annual Graduate Conference on Friday April 25th, 2014 on the College Park campus in the School of Public Health. This one-day conference will consist of a series of student presentations commenced with a keynote by PCS alumnus Dr. Callie Batts Maddox. Dr. Maddox’s research focuses upon sport and physical culture within contemporary India as expressions of the intersection between lingering colonial practices and postcolonial globalization.
This year, the conference will be organized around the theme, “Epistemological Chasms: Seeking Methods for a Socially (In)Just World.” Through this theme, we aim to promote discussion on the role and presence of researchers and academic research within systems of power and inequality. Recognizing within academic institutions increasing calls for interdisciplinarity and interventions, we consider how the multiple, and at times divergent, ontological, epistemological, and methodological foundations of research may (or may not) be mobilized to address the complexity of iniquitous conditions. Do such delineations create (false) divisions? What are the relationships amongst or boundaries between research, activism, and public intellectualism? We invite papers that reflect upon these and other relevant questions, especially that research and those researchers working in dialogue with an empirical basis.
Specifically, we invite presentations oriented around, but not limited to, the following questions:
- What is social change and what type of research can help effect such change?
- How can researchers work across ontological, epistemological, and methodological divides in order to answer
complex research questions? - What are the boundaries between research, activism, and public intellectualism?
- What are the boundaries between art and research?
- What is the role of reflexivity?
- In what ways should the scholar place him/herself in the research project?
The conference aims to promote an inter- and trans-disciplinary dialogue, and as such is a space for work that develops from within or across multiple academic disciplines. We welcome all submissions from a multitude of disciplines on a multitude of related topics, but encourage submissions interrogating physical cultural practices.
The submission deadline is February 1st, 2014
Please e-mail abstracts (350 word limit) to umdpcs@gmail.comWithin your email, include as an attachment (in .doc or .pdf format) the following: Paper Title, Abstract, Keywords, Author(s) contact information, and institutional affiliation(s).

Deadline for Submissions: 31 March 2014 (abstract) | 15 July 2014 (full paper)
Information: There is a general belief in the good of sports, which almost 'naturally' leads to the use of sports as an answer to a number of personal and social issues. Besides physical fitness and improved health, the proclaimed potential benefits of participation in sports are improved mental health and psychological well-being (leading to reduction of anxiety and stress), personality development (via improved self-concept, physical and global self-esteem/confidence, self-confidence and increased locus of control), socio-psychological benefits (such as empathy, integrity, tolerance, cooperation, trustworthiness and the development of social skills) and broader sociological impacts (such as increased community identity, social
coherence and integration) (e.g., Bailey et al., 2009; Coalter, 2005; Fraser-Thomas et al., 2005, Gould & Carson, 2008; Petitpas et al., 2005). However there is a growing awareness that more knowledge and
expertise is needed to raise the alleged social potential of sports. Incorporating an international and multidisciplinary perspective, the special issue aims at making a comprehensive, critical and state-of-the-art analysis of different aspects that are related to the role of sports towards a more inclusive society, including:
• Experiences and meanings attributed to sport participation from the perspectives of specific excluded groups;
• Sport coaching and guidance from a critical sociological or pedagogical perspective;
• Organisational, contextual and institutional features of inclusive sport programmes;
• Analysis of local, regional, national and transnational (e.g. EU) sport policies and how such policies contribute in social inclusionary and/or exclusionary mechanisms;
• Approaches of monitoring and evaluation of inclusive sport programmes.
The guest editors will provide an introductory chapter in which sport and social inclusion will be conceptualised and discussed.
