Goals
The Grupo de História e Desporto (Group for History and Sport – GHD)
gathers researchers from several institutions, with the main goal of
promoting cooperation, research and studies in the field of sport history.
The GHD also organizes events for History and Sport at the national and
international levels. In the Portuguese case, the interest in the history
of sport is an important research focus. The GHD also organizes an annual
congress, whose goal is the discussion and the production of knowledge in
the various aspects of the intersection of history and sport. The theme for
the 2012 congress is the Olympics.
Subject
The year 2012 marks the XXX Summer Olympic Games in London. 2012 also
commemorates the centenary of Portugal’s first participation in the Olympic
Games (in Stockholm in 1912). To mark these two events the I Congress of
History and Sport will be dedicated to the Olympic movement and its
different perspectives, including sport, social, economic, political,
religious, media, culture and others.
