The Media and Sport section has traditionally been a platform for inter/trans/multi-disciplinary inspired work and we encourage such papers and panel sessions again. We invite submissions of individual research papers and complete panels.
In 2018, we particularly welcome contributions that bridge the study of mediated sport and the conference’s theme Reimagining Sustainability: Communication and Media Research in a Changing World.
Authors should consider any of the ideas listed below as relevant to the Media and Sport Section. This list does not exhaust the potential categories of submissions, for instance; papers dealing with the relation between the media & sport, sporting contexts, environmental issues arising from mega events and the like, sport for good in terms of economic development, and modes of governance, and social inclusion.
