CALL FOR PAPERS
“Olympic Reform: A Ten-Year Review”
University of Toronto, May 19-20, 2009
In 1999, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) embarked upon a major series of reforms to governance, the bidding process to host Olympics, the reporting of information, and to important programmes such as Olympic Solidarity.
The reforms came in response to revelations of bribes paid to ensure that Salt Lake City won the right to host the 2002 Winter Olympics. As major sponsors threatened to withdraw their support, the IOC responded by establishing the ‘2000 Commission’. The 2000 Commission’s 50 recommendations for reform were quickly approved.
This conference will conduct a critical review of the implementation of the reform package – successes, failures and unintended consequences. The review is timely because the reforms were introduced with no independent review mechanism; and the conference takes place mid-way between the Beijing and Vancouver Olympics.
Academics, activists, policy makers and sport leaders will gather to examine the context of reform, evaluate the implementation of the 1999 reform package, and identify issues and concerns that warrant further analysis and action.
Abstracts and proposals for sessions are invited in the following areas:
The Context of Reform -- topics related to the growing climate of reform that preceded the Salt Lake City scandal, including (but not limited to): the struggle for gender equity at the Olympics; the growth of critical scholarship and investigative journalism; the Olympic Truce and peace building initiatives; doping scandals and reform initiatives; and the politics of Olympic site selection.
Critical Analysis of the Reform Package – topics related to the IOC 2000 Commission reforms, including (but not limited to): Olympic Solidarity – Sport development and development through sport; WADA and doping; bidding for the Olympic Games before and after Salt Lake City; Olympic legacies; equity, representation, and the structure of the IOC; transparency and communication; and Olympism, education and culture.
Athletes’ Rights – topics related to the influence of IOC reforms on athletes’ rights, including (but not limited to): health, injury, and doping; media rights and the right to speak out; child athletes; sponsorship; labour rights; and other issues concerning the similarities and differences between athletes’ rights and the rights guaranteed to all humans under various international Charters.
Olympic Reform: Monitoring and Advocacy – topics related to monitoring the implementation of reforms and advocating for future reforms, including (but not limited to): Olympics and corporate social responsibility; sport and ‘good governance’; environment and sustainable development; Sport for All; sport for development and peace; legacies; ensuring rights; and conflict resolution.
The conference will feature keynote addresses by international and Canadian sport leaders and scholars, plenary panel discussions, as well as open paper sessions. Conference organizers are encouraging submissions for both individual presentations and session topics. Abstracts should be no longer than 250 words (and include the paper/session title, and presenter’s name and affiliation). Deadline for the submission of abstracts is January 31, 2009.
Submit abstracts and any questions to the Conference Organizer, Russell Field, at: russell.field@utoronto.ca

CFP: Special Issue of the Journal of Sport Management, “Race and Ethnicity”
CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue of the Journal of Sport Management
“Race and Ethnicity”
Research suggests that psychological, sociological, and economic rudiments of race and ethnicity often influence individuals’ sport attitudes, interests, identity, behaviors, experiences, and thus, their overall involvement in sport. As such, there is a need to have theoretical and applied knowledge concerning developing, promoting, delivering, and managing sport in a manner that is reflective of, and responsive to the racially and ethnically diverse stakeholders served (e.g., athletes/participants, coaches, administrators, spectators, media, corporate partners).
The special issue of the Journal of Sport Management on “Race and Ethnicity” seeks to address the dearth of research and critical analyses concerning race and ethnicity within the sport management literature. It is the intent of this special issue to provide a collection of research and critical analyses on race and ethnicity in sport and, thus, serve as a basis for future sport management research by providing foundations and insights for investigating the permeations of race and ethnicity within sport.
Submissions from various epistemologies, methodologies, (qualitative, quantitative, historical, or comparative), ideologies, conceptual frameworks, and levels of analysis are welcome. Submissions should illuminate the unique dynamics that influence sport involvement of stakeholders who are People of Color (i.e., those of African, Asian, Pacific Island, Native American, and Hispanic ancestry), other racial and ethnic minorities, and those who are racially and ethnically disenfranchised throughout the
world (e.g., Aborigines of Australia, Blacks in South Africa). Lastly, submissions should offer insight into the manner in which sport management practices (e.g., administration, human resources management, organizational theory, student-athlete development, employee satisfaction, leadership, event management, marketing, sponsorship, consumer behavior, promotions, communications) should respond to matters of race and ethnicity.
Manuscripts should follow the guidelines in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th Edition), and should be prepared in accordance with the Journal of Sport Management “Instruction to Authors” (http://www.humankinetics.com/JSM/journalAbout.cfm). Manuscripts must not be submitted to another journal while they are under review by the Journal of Sport Management nor should they have been previously published. Manuscripts will be subject to a triple blind review.
Manuscripts should be submitted no later than February 1, 2009 via e-mail to the Guest Editor:

scientific approaches. The ECSS ‘09 Congress programme will feature
theoretical, applied and cross-disciplinary sport studies as well as
research findings based on the natural, behavioural, social and human
scientific disciplines.
Social Programme
The social programme will consist of an Opening Reception in the Oslo City Hall on

Dear Colleague,
On behalf of the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences, I am pleased to welcome you to
the 14th Annual Congress of the ECSS in Oslo, Norway, June 24 – 27, 2009.
Oslo in the capital of Norway is situated at the head of the Oslo fjord and
surrounded by forested ridges. Oslo is unique, a city surrounding a sea
inlet with mountains as a backdrop. At the end of June, summer in Norway
is at its most beautiful.
Scientific Programme: Sport Sciences – Nature, Nurture and Culture
Sport is a complex phenomenon, and sport research must build on diversity of
scientific approaches. The ECSS ‘09 Congress programme will feature
theoretical, applied and cross-disciplinary sport studies as well as
research findings based on the natural, behavioural, social and human
scientific disciplines.
Social Programme
The social programme will consist of an Opening Reception in the Oslo City Hall on
Wednesday evening, a closing banquet on Saturday night, and a range of
activity options in and around Oslo.
Congress Venue
The ECSS’09 Congress will take place at Oslo Congress Centre which is a
professional, flexible and comprehensive meeting venue with a colourful
history dating back a century. The Centre is located in the heart of Oslo
and within walking distance to Congress hotels, transport systems,
shopping and restaurants.
Travel
There are three airports near Oslo: The main airport is Oslo Airport Gardermoen.
Gardermoen is located north of Oslo and about 20 minutes by airport
express train from the city centre. There is also bus connection from the
airport to the city centre. [www.osl.no]
The airport Sandefjord Airport Torp is located south of the city. Ryan Air
has connections from 12 cities in Europe to Torp.
The bus service from Torp to Oslo takes about 1.5 hours. [www.torp.no]
Moss Airport Rygge, is located 70 km southeast of the city, with several
direct flights from European cities. Express busses leave for Oslo Buss
Terminal in connection with arrivals by Norwegian Air Shuttle, and
