Sixteenth International Conference on Sport & Society, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia, 2-4 July 2025

Founded in 2010, the Sport & Society Research Network is brought together around a common interest in cultural, political, and economic relationships of sport to society. We seek to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries.

2025 Special Focus – Global Sports Local Cultures

Theme 1: Sporting Cultures and Identities
