Routledge Launches a New Website Devoted to the Olympic and Paralympic
Games
With the opening of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games less
than a year away, Routledge is pleased to announce the launch of a
website showcasing scholarly research on Olympic and Paralympic Studies
at www.routledgeonlinestudies.com.
Routledge Online Studies on the Olympic and Paralympic Games (ROSO)
launches in beta today, and is a unique learning resource aimed at
academics, students, lecturers, researchers, athletes, coaches,
journalists, policy-makers and anyone interested in the Games.
Containing over 1,000 published book chapters and articles, blogs,
reading lists, case studies and interviews with Olympic and Paralympic
experts and athletes including Dame Kelly Holmes, ROSO will release over
40 new journal special issues and several new books devoted to the
Games. The site will be regularly updated with new content as it
publishes and a selection of material will be made free to access.
ROSO's Managing Editor, Dr Vassil Girginov of Brunel University, UK, has
assigned a theme to every book chapter and article, allowing the user to
search their area of interest. ROSO themes include: the media,
education, gender, politics, history, governance, management, law,
business, ethics, legacies, the environment, athletic performance,
security and disability sport.
Dr Vassil Girginov, Managing Editor of ROSO, comments:
"This new interactive research and teaching platform represents a new
phase in the global development of Olympic studies and naturally builds
on a century-long tradition and the contributions of a myriad of
scholars from all over the world. For the first time in history, a
leading academic publisher that is Routledge has committed to
specifically promote studies in Olympism in a truly multidisciplinary
and interdisciplinary way. We invite you to browse, explore, comment,
share and contribute to the Platform. Enjoy your Olympic explorations
with Routledge Online Studies on the Olympic and Paralympic Games."
