NASSS 2018 Conference - Vancouver

This session invites papers that are broadly concerned with issues related to the cultural and sociological study of science, technology, and sport.  Potential topics include, but are not limited to: sport technologies and technologies of the active body; issues related to medicine, risk, and sport; doping, drugs, bioethics, and the active body; (dis)ability, gender, race, class, and sexuality, technology and sport; sporting labs and scientific practices; representations of science and sport; sport 2.0 (e.g. digital interactions); and, sustainability and sport. While open to a range of perspectives, we are especially interested in papers that explore science, technology, and sport intersections through science and technology studies or digital humanities approaches. Finally, in-line with the conference’s focus on creativity and science and technology studies’ and the digital humanities’ support of ‘making and doing’, submissions highlighting innovative practices for producing and expressing research are especially welcome.
