The 2009 Postgraduate Forum of the BSA Sport Study Group will include papers on a range of sport related topics. Postgraduate researchers will present on issues such as Muslim women's sport participation, nationalism (and the tensions between Englishness and Britishness in particular), as well as issues of aging, disability and gender in sport. The programme will also include a presentation from Prof. John Sugden who will speak in his capacity as editor of the International Review of the Sociology of Sport about the publication process and the common mistakes made by early career researchers. Additionally, Dr Elizabeth Pike (General Secretary of the International Sociology of Sport Association) will talk about the benefits of membership of regional and international associations, including networking opportunities, access to mentor programmes and student awards. Those wishing to attend should contact Paul Saddleton for further details.
