CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS - DEADLINE
IMMINENT
GENDER,
SPORT, & THE OLYMPICS
The editors of /thirdspace: a journal of feminist theory and culture/
invite submissions for our forthcoming issue on Gender, Sport, and the
Olympics.
Prompted by the upcoming 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, we are interested
in exploring the central role which gender and sexuality play in shaping ideas
about athleticism, sport culture, and the body, and the significant ways in
which athletic events such as the Olympics work to transform conceptions of
public space, national boundaries and identities, and gendered
self-presentations and performances. This issue invites contributions on:
o 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver
o Sport, athleticism, and ability
o Para Olympics
o LGBT participation in athletics and
the Olympics
o Legal impacts on gender and sport
(i.e. Title IX legislation in the United States)
o Sport and
masculinities/femininities
o Role of gender in sporting
competition
o Gendered perspectives on Olympic
events
o Use of prosthetics and technologies
in athletic competition
o Impact of the Olympics on the
environment
o Sports/the Olympics and the use of
public space, including
displacement
of individuals/communities, the environment, and urban renewal
o Other topics relevant to the
theme of gender, sport, and the Olympics.
We welcome submissions from a wide range of disciplinary and geographical
perspectives. Submissions from researchers working within, or among, the
disciplines of geography, sociology, literature, area studies, cultural
studies, film/media studies, art, history, education, law, and women’s/gender
studies are particularly encouraged.
We accept the submission of work from scholars of any rank or affiliation, and
encourage submissions from emerging feminist scholars, including graduate
students.
All submissions to the journal must be submitted electronically through our
online submission process. All submissions are peer-reviewed by established,
senior feminist scholars. For more information on our publishing policies see:
