Second Call
for Papers
Deadline March 15, 2010 |
The
conference is intended for researchers, policymakers and professionals
with an interest in matters of equality. As societies across
the globe become characterised by greater diversity, and with
growing interest in narrative in hybridity, increasing recognition
is being given to the opportunities and threats presented by
diversity. Presenters are invited to disseminate findings from
research examining the (potential) role of leisure, sport and
tourism in promoting and constraining equality. |
| Call for Roundtable
Research Exchanges |
We
have identified a slot in the timetable (Tuesday 6th July, 16.00-17.00)
for a set of roundtable discussions of matters selected by delegates.
These are intended as an opportunity for those attending the
conference to share their interest in some aspect of research
related to the conference themes in a less formal environment
than the conventional seminar with formal papers followed by
questions.
If you would like to facilitate one of these roundtable research
exchanges, please submit your expression of interest to Jonathan
Long: j.a.long@leedsmet.ac.
All we need from you by way of a proposal is:
Title; Lead discussant; Kind of topics that might be discussed;
Reason for believing others attending the conference will want
to contribute. |
