Abstracts

Sporting Traditions XVI features three overarching areas of analysis – ‘conceiving, locating and narrating sports history’. Within this framework, particular discussion options have been constructed and listed in the conference program. Prospective speakers are required to conceive a talk to fit one of these topic areas. This is a strategy to ensure that each of the conference themes is systematically adressed, and that papers follow a logical sequence from one topic to another.

ACADEMIC PRESENTATIONS
Proposals to present academic papers will be accepted from 1 July 2006 until each of the thematic areas in the conference program is taken up. Nominations require submission of an abstract (max 250 words), which will be refereed anonymously by two academic historians. An abstract template, provided here, must be used. It should be forwarded to the Conference Manager, Dr Daryl Adair, via email attachment to SportingTraditions@canberra.edu.au under the subject heading ‘ASSH 2007 Abstract’. Before submission to referees, the anonymity of nominees will be protected by removal of text indentifying authors. Nominees can expect to learn of the outcome of referees’ deliberations within two weeks of submitting their abstracts. Successful proposals will be included promptly in the Conference Program.

STUDENT PRESENTATIONS
Day 1 of the conference is devoted solely to student-led discussion, the contents of which are open and not subject to a refereeing process. Students may, therefore, deliver a work-in-progress from their postgraduate thesis or offer a summary of its key findings. An abstract template for student, provided here, must be used. There is space in the program for 18 student papers. Academic supervisors are expected to write in support of a student intending to present, as per the document provided here.*

ABSTRACTS, PAPERS, POWERPOINT
Subject to the refereeing approval process, presenters will then provide the Conference Manager with an updated abstract for submission into the Conference Program. That final document should be forwarded to the Conference Manager, Dr Daryl Adair, via email attachment to SportingTraditions@canberra.edu.au under the subject heading ‘Updated ASSH 2007 Abstract’. In addition to an abstract, and at least 14 days prior to the conference, all speakers are expected to provide the Conference Manager with an electronic copy of their powerpoint slides (or equivalent). In the preparation of this e-document, speakers must follow the Presenter Guidelines document available here for download. Alternatively, speakers may submit the text of a paper to be delivered, also taking into account the Presenter Guidelines.
