Dear colleagues,

Apologies for cross-posting. It is my pleasure to announce that the call for submissions for the one-day conferenceOn the same page? The theory-practice divide and gendered media representations of sport is now open.

The event, which will be held at the Northumbria University’s London campus on 17th January, 2020, is funded by the Leisure Studies Association and Northumbria University’s Faculty of Arts, Design and Social Sciences.


Call for submissions


Keynote speaker: to be announced in September 2019

Keynote panel: to be announced in October 2019

The quality and influence of research produced by sports media scholars from a range of disciplines is improved by both an interdisciplinary approach and the direct, active involvement of stakeholders. As such, the aim of this one-day conference is to provide a platform for the knowledge exchange between scholars (from a range of disciplines), stakeholders, and practitioners who are united by a focus on sports media.

The event will take stock of the current position by examining notable case studies from the recent past. The event aims to foster new inter- and/or post-disciplinary trajectories and scholarship/practitioner collaborations. More specifically, the event has four objectives:

  1. To stimulate conversations between academic disciplines, as well as between fields of media policy and practice;
  2. To elaborate an historically-informed, future-focused research agenda that accounts for the needs and concerns of policy makers and practitioners;
  3. To disseminate emerging findings and insights to a wide audience of academics and non-academics;
  4. To identify and agree a series of next steps and practical actions by which to progress the Network and its concerns.

Submissions: We welcome 15-minute papers, multi-media or documentary presentations which address the study of the gendered nature of sports media, including but not limited to such topics as:

It is intended that the symposium will lead to a special edition collection for Routledge’s Advances in Leisure Studies series.
