Esiintyjäkutsu – ”Urheilun etiikka ja moraali” 13.−14.12.2024 urheiluhistorian hybridisymposiumiin Jyväskylässä ja Zoomissa
Suomen urheiluhistoriallinen seura ja Jyväskylän yliopiston historian ja etnologian laitos järjestävät urheiluhistorian symposiumin Jyväskylän yliopistossa 13.−14.12.2024. Symposium toteutetaan hybridimuodossa, joten osallistuminen on mahdollista myös ZOOM-etäyhteyden kautta.
Symposiumissa pohditaan laaja-alaisesti urheiluun ja liikuntaan liittyviä kipupisteitä ja varjopuolia. Tällaisia ovat muun muassa doping, sukupuoleen kohdistuva häirintä, urheilun uhrit, vilpilliset keinot, päihteet, rahan valta, väkivalta ja huliganismi. Kutsumme symposiumiin mukaan eri tieteenalojen edustajia, tutkijoita esitelmöimään ja keskustelemaan edellä mainituista teemoista. Kongressissa pohditaan erityisesti liikunnan ja urheilun alalle liittyviä moraalisia ja eettisiä kysymyksiä. Liikunnassa ja urheilussa – laajemmin yhteiskunnassa – on kyse hyvin pitkälti arvoista sekä ihanteista. On tiedettävä, mitä haluaa ja mihin tahtoo edetä. Keskeinen, liikunnan ja urheilun kipupisteisiin liittyvä kysymys kuitenkin on, millä keinoilla tämän toteuttaa.
Tilaisuuden kielenä on englantia. Esitysten odotetaan kestävän kaksikymmentä minuuttia ja keskustelulle on varattu aikaa kymmenen minuuttia.
Pyydämme symposiumista kiinnostuneita lähettämään esityksensä englanninkielisen abstraktin (yksi A4-sivu) dosentti Heikki Roiko-Jokelalle (heikki.roiko-jokela(at)jyu.fi) tai väitöskirjatutkija Tapio Roiko-Jokelalle (tapio.h.roiko-jokela(at)jyu.fi) 31.5.2024. Ilmoitattehan samalla, oletteko osallistumassa symposiumiin paikan päällä vai etänä.
Symposiumia koskevia tietoja täydennetään Suomen urheiluhistoriallisen seuran verkkosivuille (www.suhs.fi) syksyllä 2024.
Call for Presentations – Ethics and Morals in Sports Symposium 2024 in Jyväskylä and on Zoom
The Finnish Society for Sports History and the Department of History and Ethnology of the University of Jyväskylä jointly organize a sport history symposium in the University of Jyväskylä in Finland in 13th–14th of December 2024. The symposium will be arranged in hybrid form, so it will be possible to attend the symposium face-to-face manner or remotely by Zoom.
We invite to the Symposium researchers and scholars to discuss and analyse the pain points and downsides related to sports and physical exercise. These are for instance doping, gender-based harassment, victims who have suffered because of sports, deceitful means, drugs and alcohol, negative role of money, violence, and hooliganism. Physical exercising and sport – generally in society – are very much about values and ideals. One needs to know what is wanted and what is the preferred future; therefore, the key question, related to the issues in physical exercising and sports, is how to solve problems.
The symposium language is English. The speeches are expected to be twenty minutes, and ten minutes are reserved for public discussion.
We ask all, who are interested the congress, to send the abstracts of their presentation (one A4 page) to Docent Heikki Roiko-Jokela (heikki.roiko-jokela(at)jyu.fi) or Doctoral Researcher Tapio Roiko-Jokela (tapio.h.roiko-jokela(at)jyu.fi) by the 31st May 2024. At the same time, please, indicate whether you are participating in the symposium on site or remotely.
More specific information will be added on the webpage of the Finnish Society for Sport History (www.suhs.fi/welcome) during the autumn 2024.
Uutuuskirja Kaikkien oikeus liikkua – Satu Lidman
Historioitsija Satu Lidmanin uudessa kirjassa Kaikkien oikeus liikkua – Kohti sukupuoli- ja kehotietoista liikuntakulttuuria (2024) tarkastellaan suomalaista liikuntakulttuuria 1900-luvun alkupuolelta nykyhetkeen pohtien samalla syitä suomalaisten liikkumattomuuden taustalla.
Teoksessa nostetaan esiin erityisesti sukupuoleen, sukupuoli-identiteettiin, kehon piirteisiin ja vammaisuuteen liittyviä syrjiviä asenteita ja puheita, joilla on vaikutusta liikunnan harjoittamiseen. Kirja myös kannustaa pohtimaan, miten liikkumisen ilo mahdollistuisi kaikille.

CfP: IJHS: Sport and history in small states and non-sovereign territories
Submitted by Matthew McDowell on 02/12/2024 – 7:58pm
Announcement Type
Call for Papers
February 12, 2024 – May 31, 2024
In the first issue of the new journal Small States & Territories, released in 2018, Godfrey Baldacchino proclaimed the “mainstreaming” of the study of small states and territories. He used the example of the recent success of the Iceland men’s football team at EURO2016 as a means towards critiquing the mainstream treatment of small states’ successes in various arenas as being curios and oddities, with little attempt to understand the context of such successes and their limitations. Whilst Iceland’s specific case may have been discussed by Vidar Halldorsson in his 2017 book, and indeed other texts have examined the politics of small states and non-sovereign territories, there is nevertheless still a significant historiographical gap within Anglophone literature on the topic.
Defining “small states” is difficult. In a 2009 article, Matthias Maass noted that scholars had different criteria existed for permanent population, land area, national gross domestic product relative to the global economy, and military power. The Commonwealth, however, defines “small states” strictly in terms of population: i.e. states with 1.5 million permanent residents or less. Additionally, non-sovereign territories have a variety of sizes and relationships with “parent” countries: “territories”, “dependencies”, “commonwealths”, or even other “stateless nations” which are formally incorporated into the metropolitan state, and thus struggle for recognised status. Some of these territories, unrecognised or not, might have no military power, but have populations which far exceed some small states.
The relevance of small states and territories to global sport culture is typically acknowledged in the background. Brian Stoddart in 1988 noted as much when discussing the importance of small states to the rise of Caribbean and West Indies cricket. But acknowledging small states and territories as a particular foci for the historical study of study has been much more rare, with some exceptions, including: Evelyne Combeau-Mari (Réunion), Antonio Sotomayor (Puerto Rico), Gareth Stockey (Gibraltar), Peter Gold (Gibraltar), Matthew L McDowell (the Falkland Islands, the Isle of Man), and Simon Vaukins (the Isle of Man). Some of these studies include small states which no longer exist, including Newfoundland (Fred Mason, Osvaldo Croci) and Saarland (Alec Hurley).
This special issue seeks to redress that balance. Potential topics include (but are not limited to):
– Histories of sports and individual events and phenomena in small states and territories
– Histories of small states’ and territories’ struggle for recognition from international sporting federations
– Histories of traditional sports and activities in small states and territories
– Histories of international sporting events and competitions in which small states and territories have played a visible role
– Biographical examinations of key personalities involved in sport within small states and territories
– Critical examinations of the relationship between empire, de-/post-colonialism, and sport and history within small states and territories
– Histories of sporting organisations and governance within small states and territories
– The historic relationship of sport with disputes over sovereignty within small states and territories
– Historic sport and diplomacy involving small states and territories.
Potential articles must be based on primary historical research, and be structured as history articles. However, the editors take an expansive view of definitions of “small states” and “territories”: we hope to provoke debate on these categorisations, and we will discuss this in the introduction.
If you are interested in being a part of this special issue, please submit a 150-word abstract to the above editors by Friday, 31 May 2024.
We would be looking to publish this special issue by the end of 2025. Thus, if your abstract is accepted by the editors, we would expect the first draft to be submitted by Monday, 2 December 2024. We will have more details on submission at a later date.

Sport & Neutrality Symposium in Lillehammer – October 26 and 27, 2023
The Lillehammer Olympic and Paralympic Studies Center (LOSC) invites academics, PhD candidates, and others interested in current debates in sport to a public symposium on Sport & Neutrality. The symposium will take place on 26 and 27 October 2023 at the Lillehammer campus of the Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences. More information can be found on the event
https://www.inn.no/english/events/symposium-on-sport-and-neutrality/
Registration is now open.
Twelve invited scholars will engage with current issues around sport, morality, and human rights to assess whether stakeholders in sport can and should remain neutral in political questions. A session in legal issues is organized in collaboration with the annual conference of the International Sports Law Journal. The second day will focus on the role of sport science as a “neutral” academic field, since it appears to become increasingly dependent on sport organizations for funding, access to documentation, and publisher of research results. Speakers include Verner Møller (Aarhus University), Sigmund Loland (Norwegian School of Sport Sciences) and Mark James (Manchester Metropolitan University).
We particularly encourage the participation of early-career researchers, such as PhD candidates and postdoc researchers. A workshop for PhD candidates will be organized at the Norwegian Olympic Museum in Lillehammer on 25 October 2023 that will allow for the presentation of research projects and networking. Please see the section “Pre-Symposium Workshop for PhD Students” for more information.
The conference results will be published in the International Journal of Sport & Society at the end of 2024. Contributions from registered symposium participants and PhD workshop participants will also be considered for publication in the special issue.
