CFP: Conference on Sport, Conflict and Reconciliation, Liverpool 28.4.2012
Conference on Sport, Conflict and Reconciliation – Liverpool Hope University, Saturday 28 April 2012
CALL FOR PAPERS
Sport can be both a source of conflict and a means of promoting reconciliation and peace-building. This one-day conference aims to examine theoretical debate and practical approaches to the role of sport in relation to conflict and conflict resolution.
A particular interest of the conference lies in the area of the use of sport for purposes of conflict resolution, post-conflict reconstruction and rehabilitation, and peace-building. Prof. John Sugden, Professor of the Sociology of Sport at the Chelsea School, University of Brighton, will be giving a keynote address on this theme. In addition, the conference organisers will be aiming to organise at least one panel specifically on this theme, so we particularly welcome papers in this area.
However, we also welcome papers looking at other aspects of sport and conflict, and from any discipline, including geography, sociology, politics, economics, cultural studies, history, media studies, literature, and sports studies. Amongst the themes that could be considered are:
- Theoretical perspectives on understanding the interactions of sport with conflict and with post-conflict rehabilitation
- Case study evaluations of historical or contemporary instances of the relationship between sport and conflict/conflict resolution
- Organisational studies looking at the role of agencies such as ngo’s, governing bodies, political institutions, economic actors and educational bodies in sport
- Comparative assessments of the interplay between sport and conflict in different circumstances and contexts
- Analytical studies looking at the key themes and issues of relevance in using sport as an interventionist tool for peace-building
- Philosophical and ethical evaluations of the roles of sport, both in engendering conflict and in promoting its resolution.
- Assessments of methodological approaches to the analysis of the role of sport in conflict and conflict resolution.
The conference is being organised by the Archbishop Desmond Tutu Centre for War and Peace Studies at Liverpool Hope University. The conference organisers are Dr Michael Holmes, Dr Liam O’Callaghan and Dr Joel Rookwood. The venue will be the Conference Centre, Liverpool Hope University, Hope Park campus, Taggart Avenue, Liverpool.
Paper proposals (title and an abstract of not more than 300 words) should be submitted to the Conference Secretary, Jane Reilly, at reillyj(AT)hope.ac.uk by 31 January 2012. We will provide initial notification to proposers by 17 February. Late submissions may be accepted if feasible.

The Sport and Leisure History Seminar Summer Conference:
‘Sport and Leisure in Suburbs and New Towns: Communities, Identities and Interactions’
21st-22nd July, 2011
Hosted by the Institute of Historical Research, London
Global society is becoming increasingly dominated by suburban growth, yet our understandings of suburban social life are still lamentably under-informed or prejudiced by elitist anti-suburbanism. Some historians, cultural commentators and social scientists have explored the social significance of sport and leisure in new communities but much more work needs to be done to provide a fuller picture of the social life of suburbs and new towns in the modern and post-modern eras.
Our conference is looking for academics who are working on sport and leisure in suburbs and new towns. All sports and leisure activities are to be included. Approaches that include a focus upon community and association, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, age and class are encouraged. An emphasis upon suburban identities and social formation in new communities is particularly welcome. Conformity and subversion are key themes that should also be addressed.
There is also a tendency – even in academic work – to treat ‘suburban’ as a byword for lower middle class. We are therefore particularly keen to receive papers that demonstrate the social heterogeneity of suburbs and new towns. Contributors should also consider the geographic, as well as the social and cultural, dimensions of sport and leisure in suburbs and new towns: what are the influences, for example, of their spatial dimensions; of their infrastructure; of their distance or disconnection from existing urban centres; of migration to and from them?
Our scope is global: we hope to get proposals for papers not only from Britain and Europe, but also the Americas, Africa and Asia. We are particularly interested in work being undertaken in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and in the first decade of the current century. We therefore hope to attract academics from a range of disciplines, including history, sociology, geography, cultural studies, and architecture and the built environment, to name a few.
Please send abstracts (c. 300 words in length) and a brief biography to leisureinsuburbia(AT)gmail.com by Friday, 15th April.
Conference organisers: Dr Mark Clapson, Dion Georgiou and Dr John Law.

Sport is a cultural expression in societies all over the world. Sport is by the engagement of the body, the equipment and the place a local phenomenon. At the same time the social significance of sport is global. Thus, studies on sport and people in motion are important with local as well as global perspectives. The 2011 eass conference will address a range of critically important issues relating to the overarching theme. Plenary speakers will include leading thinkers in sports, as well as papers and posters by researchers in the field of sport sociology within a variety of empirical, theoretical and cross disciplinary studies.
