*** APOLOGIES FOR CROSS POSTING ***
We are delighted to inform you of the forthcoming BSA Sport Study Group Day Conference: Sport and Social Protest on 15th May 2015 at the British Library Conference Centre, London.
The one-day conference has a fascinating programme in place exploring the connection between protest movements and sport. Peter Hain MP will open the conference with a keynote address on the anti-apartheid movement. The full programme<http://www.britsoc.co.uk/media/80881/bsa_sport_and_social_protest_outline_programme_-_15th_january_2015_docx.pdf?1421940240197> is now available on the BSA website.
The conference will also include the following presentations and discussions:
* How does sport function as the theatre of particular struggles?
* How does media coverage affect sports significance for social movements?
* How does sport play a role in collective meaning contests; in battles between actors over social norms?
* How are the values that sport incarnates relevant for social movement organisation?
* How do movement analyses integrate state / corporate sport within their critiques of capitalism, globalization and totalitarianism?
* How does sport work as an event, or as a series of opportunities, for movement action?
* How do the tensions between elite and mass, individual and collective, professional and public inherent in the organisation of sport manifest themselves in movement analyses and strategies?
