Fourteenth International Conference on Sport and Society - Sport and Society Research Network and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, United States of America

ABOUT US Founded in 2010, the Sport and Society Research Network is brought together around a common interest in cultural, political, and economic relationships of sport to society. We seek to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries. As a Research Network, we are defined by our scope and concerns and motivated to build strategies for action framed by our shared themes and tensions. https://sportandsociety.com/about -------- CALL FOR PAPERS https://sportandsociety.com/2023-conference/call-for-papers Place: University of Nevada, Las Vegas, United States of America and Online Format: A mix of live, pre-recorded, and in person (at scale that's allowed) presentations and social interaction spaces. Dates: 07-08 June 2023 -------- SPECIAL FOCUS The Impact of Professional Sport on Community Professional sport maintains a special place in society evidenced by media coverage, economic investment, and identity development. However, professional sport has also demonstrated the capacity to create economic hardship, cultural division, and political tension. As aspects of professional sport continuously evolve to now include legal sport betting in the U.S., eSport and a greater focus on diversity, equity and inclusion, the context of professional sport is fertile ground for examination and study. Similarly, the impact of sport science has major implications on technology development, athlete health and performance, data rights, ownership and usage. -------- CONFERENCE THEMES Theme One - SPORTING CULTURES AND IDENTITIES Theme Two - SPORT AND HEALTH Theme Three - SPORTS EDUCATION Theme Four - SPORTS MANAGEMENT AND COMMERCIALIZATION -------- RELATED CONFERENCES We understand travel is difficult in the current climate.
