*Call for Papers *

The seventh international *Sport and Discrimination Conference* examines 
the intersectional nature of discrimination in sport. This one-day 
event, *31 May 2024*, at *Université de Franche-Comté, Besancon, France, 
*invites presentations by academics, postgraduates, students, 
practitioners, and policy makers from a variety of backgrounds and 
specialisms. Although the conference embraces a broad focus, this year 
we particularly welcome abstracts concerning sport and discrimination in 
relation to the Olympic and Paralympic Games.**

Discrimination cuts across traditional academic subjects and the ethos 
behind this conference is to bring together experts from different 
subject areas to exchange ideas and explore what we can learn from one 
another.  We welcome presentations about all forms of discrimination 
across any sporting context, including popular culture.  As in previous 
years of Sport and Discrimination events, submissions may approach the 
conference from a variety of perspectives, including:

  * empirical findings about the nature and extent of discrimination in
    sport;
  * research articulating the experiences of those who have suffered
    discrimination in sport and how such behaviours and processes may be
    combatted;
  * attempts to understand the intersectional nature of discrimination
    within sport;
  * contributions adding to the theoretical understanding of sport and
    discrimination;
  * policy recommendations and further suggestions for tackling and
    reducing discrimination in sport.

Proposals (in English, please), for 20-minute presentations, should 
include title, abstract (250 words), the name and institutional 
affiliation of the presenter(s) and a concise biography (100 words). The 
submission deadline is 26 January 2024. All submissions and enquiries 
should be sent to: (SportDisc /at/ leedsbeckett.ac.uk)
