Today is the last day you can submit an abstract for the exciting Sport, Gender and Media conference at the Unviersity of York on 10th March 2012.
We invite all postgraduate and early career researchers interested in gendered aspects of sport to a one-day interdisciplinary conference. This is a growing academic field which addresses important questions about equality, public health, representation, participation, citizenship and ‘fair play.’ With the Olympics in the UK, and a likely glut of related journalism, 2012 is an opportune time to investigate the framing of media relationships between sport and gender.
The conference will be interdisciplinary, and welcomes contributions from many fields in order to foster understanding of, and promote relationships between a variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives. We also intend to celebrate the achievements of women in sport, and this conference will be part of marking International Women’s Day.
Please submit abstracts to womensportmedia@gmail.com by 6pm today (12th December 2011) You can also now register to attend the conference - see right-hand sidebar of blog.
There have been some fantastic abstracts submitted thus far...don't miss your chance to be involved in this exciting conference!
