Founded in 2010, the Sport & Society Research Network is brought together around a common interest in cultural, political, and economic relationships of sport to society. We seek to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries.
The Seventeenth International Conference on Sport & Society calls for research addressing the following annual themes and special focus.
Assistant Professor of Game Studies and Co-Director of the Game Research Lab, Tampere University, Finland
