Whose Body Is It? Sport and the Problem of Autonomy

June 30th-July 1st, 2022: Aarhus University, Denmark

At this year's conference, we want to investigate how bodies are free and governed in all levels of sport, from:

• Legal perspectives: Who owns an athlete's body? Is it a club, sponsors, or the public?

• Organizational aspects: Do existing governing bodies of sport require reforms?

• Medical aspects: What is the role of medical doctors, physiotherapists, coaches in overseeing athletes' bodies?

• Socio-cultural meanings: Are we considering dynamic changes in gender, race, and cultural definitions of bodies

• Historical legacies: What have been attempts by sports organizations to control elite athletes via "body rules", and what are the lessons learned

The Special Focus of the 2022 conference explores the ways in which globalization and migratory flows have come to shape all levels of contemporary society. In the context of these broader social transformations, how do educators and institutions of learning address the question of intercultural dialogue? How might we approach multicultural complexity at different educational levels? If one of the major challenges of education in the 21st century will be how we deal with students’ heterogeneity and complexity, from a pedagogical perspective, how we must prepare educators with the tools for necessary for intercultural knowledge and dialogue? How can we imagine and create a world where deep and constantly changing diversity is considered normal?
