The quality and influence of research produced by sports mediascholarsfrom a range of disciplines is improved by both an interdisciplinary approach andthe 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:
  • Methodological innovation
  • Pathways to inter-disciplinary collaboration
  • Sharing research outcomes with media practitioners
  • Overcoming gender bias in sports media industries
  • Sports media representation of female non-athletes
  • Sports media, gender and race
  • Inclusive and exclusive framing of trans athletes
