Location: 205C (MTCC NORTH BUILDING)
RC27 Sociology of Sport (host committee)

Language: English

This session seeks papers that deal with the ways in which power and justice are exercised and/or resisted through sport. Possible topics include but are not limited to: theoretical discussions of sport, justice and/or power: policies that seek justice and fairness in sport; activisms, social movements and sport; discourses of race, gender, class and/or sexuality as remade and or challenged through sporting practices.

We encourage all participants to take up RC27 membership to benefit from priority in abstract selection, as well as networking opportunities through the International Sociology of Sport Association (ISSA) eBulletin and annual conferences.
