College Sport Research Institute
The College Sport Research Institute welcomes the submission of abstracts for its inaugural symposium / conference to be held on the campus of The University of Memphis, Memphis, TN.
The conference’s mission is to: “Provide students, scholars, and college-sport practitioners a public forum to discuss relevant and timely intercollegiate-athletics issues.” To fulfill this mission, this year’s conference will focus on research, theory and critical thinking about college sport and surrounding issues for the last 100 years to the present.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
To be considered for acceptance, abstracts must reflect college-sport research on the history of intercollegiate athletics, social-cultural college-sport issues, legal theory or the application of law to college-sport issues, business-related issues in college sport, or special topics related to current college-sport issues. The research should have reached a fairly complete stage of development, and the abstract should provide enough detail about the research, so the reviewers have sufficient information to judge its quality.
Abstracts proposing teaching-related sessions on college-sport issues will also be considered, as long as the abstract provides sufficient detail to judge the quality of the proposed session. Abstracts will undergo a multi-person, blind-review process to determine acceptance.
Abstracts submitted to CSRI should not be concurrently submitted for consideration to another conference.
