Description
This panel features key international scholars, many of whom have served as editors of journals and major handbooks on the sociology of sport, in considering the place of sociology of sport in the academy. Panelists consider the health of socio-cultural inquiry on sport including the diverse places where it resides in universities across the world. The state of its intersections with other disciplines, such as history, religion, philosophy, ethics, politics, policy, and others are considered. The recent influences of physical cultural studies, media and communication studies, and sport management on the scholarly field of play are assessed.
