BSA Regional Postgraduate Event
'Pace, Penalty and Pirouette: The Sociology of Physical Culture'
Glasgow Caledonian University, Friday 13th June 2014
The study of physical culture encompasses a variety of topics and issues. Broadly speaking, scholars who research physical culture are interested in the ways in which individuals engage in (or do not engage in) physical practices, and how these practices are affected by, or influence their social and cultural environment. This event aims to explore the various practices of physical culture to interrogate how they intersect with sociological issues such as ageing, class, disability, gender and race.
The event is designed to be a platform for postgraduate students from across Scotland and further afield to unite, to discuss, present, and share their research with academics with similar interests. Presentations will be 20 minutes, allowing time for a question and answer session.
We invite contributions from, (but not limited to), scholars studying:
• Dance
• Leisure studies
• Physical education
• Physical theatre
• Sport and physical activity
