Sport and Society Sport in the Americas Sixth International Conference on Sport and Society Sport in the Americas 30-31 JULY 2015 | UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO | TORONTO, CANADA | SPORTANDSOCIETY.COM Sixth International Conference on Sport and Society “Sport in the Americas” University of Toronto | Toronto, Canada | 30-31 July 2015 www.sportandsociety.com www.facebook.com/SportAndSociety.CG @sportandsoc | #SportandSoc Sixth International Conference on Sport and Society www.sportandsociety.com First published in 2015 in Champaign, Illinois, USA by Common Ground Publishing, LLC www.commongroundpublishing.com © 2015 Common Ground Publishing All rights reserved.

Designed by Ebony Jackson Cover image by Phillip Kalantzis-Cope Sport & Society sportandsociety.com Dear Delegate, Welcome to the Sixth International Conference on Sport and Society. The conference and its associated journal were created to explore the connections between sport and its broader context, addressing, amongst other things, the organizational, educational, technological, ethical, and political relationships between sport and society. This year, we are exploring the special focus, “Sport in the Americas,” with the conference held in parallel to the Pan-American Games. Often, “America” is taken to mean the United States, to the neglect of the other countries represented at the games. Accordingly, in addition to the general, international themes for the conference, this year’s area of special focus relates to the rise and development of sport in the Americas, with a particular focus on the Caribbean states, South America, and Central America. This is an under-researched area, which deserves deeper investigation. The Pan-American Games are in Toronto at the same time as the Sport and Society Conference, bringing people from the whole of the Americas to a single event. This provides an opportunity to open up to the rest of the academic world to the vast array of research that is being undertaken by scholars of sport in the Caribbean, South America, and Central America. In addition to organizing the International Conference on Sport and Society, Common Ground publishes articles from the conference, and we encourage all conference participants to submit an article based on their conference presentation for peer review and possible publication in the journal. We also publish books in both print and electronic formats. Thank you to all who have put such a phenomenal amount of work into preparing for the Sport and Society Conference. I am particularly thankful for the efforts of my Common Ground colleagues, especially Rachael Arcario and Monica Hillison. We also hope you will join us next year in Honolulu, USA, 2-3 June 2016 at the University of Hawaii at Manoa to continue this multifaceted conversation and to contribute your own unique perspective to our annual themes and the 2016 special focus–Leisure, Play, Action: Ecological Awareness in Sport. We wish you all the best for this conference, and hope it will provide you every opportunity for dialogue with colleagues from around the corner and across the world. Yours sincerely, Kimberly D. Kendalll, PhD Host, Sport and Society Knowledge Community Program Development, Common Ground Publishing | About Common Ground Our Mission Common Ground Publishing aims to enable all people to participate in creating collaborative knowledge and to share that knowledge with the greater world. Through our academic conferences, peer-reviewed journals and books, and innovative software, we build transformative knowledge communities and provide platforms for meaningful interactions across diverse media. Our Message Heritage knowledge systems are characterized by vertical separations—of discipline, professional association, institution, and country. Common Ground identifies some of the pivotal ideas and challenges of our time and builds knowledge communities that cut horizontally across legacy knowledge structures. Sustainability, diversity, learning, the future of the humanities, the nature of interdisciplinarity, the place of the arts in society, technology’s connections with knowledge, the changing role of the university—these are deeply important questions of our time which require interdisciplinary thinking, global conversations, and cross-institutional intellectual collaborations. Common Ground is a meeting place for these conversations, shared spaces in which differences can meet and safely connect—differences of perspective, experience, knowledge base, methodology, geographical, or cultural origins, and institutional affiliation. We strive to create the places of intellectual interaction and imagination that our future deserves. Our Media Common Ground creates and supports knowledge communities through a number of mechanisms and media. Annual conferences are held around the world to connect the global (the international delegates) with the local (academics, practitioners, and community leaders from the host community). Conference sessions include as many ways of speaking as possible to encourage each and every participant to engage, interact, and contribute. The journals and book imprint offer fully-refereed academic outlets for formalized knowledge, developed through innovative approaches to the processes of submission, peer review, and production. The knowledge community also maintains an online presence—through presentations on our YouTube channel, monthly email newsletters, as well as Facebook and Twitter feeds. And Common Ground’s own software, Scholar, offers a path-breaking platform for online discussions and networking, as well as for creating, reviewing, and disseminating text and multi-media works. 7 Sport & Society Knowledge Community Exploring the cultural, political, and economic relationships of sport to society Sport & Society Knowledge Community The Sport and Society Knowledge Community is brought together by a common concern for scientific policy and strategic perspective in sport and society. The community interacts through an innovative, annual face-to-face conference, as well as year-round online relationships, a peer reviewed journal, and community book imprint. Conference The conference is built upon four key features: Internationalism, Interdisciplinarity, Inclusiveness, and Interaction. Conference delegates include leaders in the field as well as emerging scholars, who travel to the conference from all corners of the globe and represent a broad range of disciplines and perspectives. A variety of presentation options and session types offer delegates multiple opportunities to engage, to discuss key issues in the field, and to build relationships with scholars from other cultures and disciplines. Publishing The Sport and Society Knowledge Community enables members to publish through two media. First, community members can enter a world of journal publication unlike the traditional academic publishing forums—a result of the responsive, non-hierarchical, and constructive nature of the peer review process. The Sport & Society Collection provides a framework for double-blind peer review, enabling authors to publish into an academic journal of the highest standard. The second publication medium is through the book imprint, Sport and Society, publishing cutting edge books in print and digital formats. Publication proposal and manuscript submissions are welcome. Community The Sport and Society Knowledge Community offers several opportunities for ongoing communication among its members. Any member may upload video presentations based on scholarly work to the community YouTube channel. Monthly email newsletters contain updates on conference and publishing activities as well as broader news of interest. Join the conversations on Facebook and Twitter, or explore our new social media platform, Scholar. 11 Sport & Society Themes On sport’s motivations, Theme 1: Sporting Cultures and Identities meanings and purposes • Psychology of sport and the interplay between individual identities and access, equity, and participation in sports • Examines the social and sociological aspects of sport, the impact of cultural traditions and cultural differences on how sports are played or viewed, and the influence of sports on national, ethnic, or community identity • Individual identity (race, gender, ethnicity, religion, etc) and impacts on sports participation • Group identities—community, nations, cultures • Values—as exemplified by athletes, fans, communities • Cultural differences or traditions • Psychology or sociology of sport • Historical perspectives on sport and athletes • Sport and community building • Nationalism and ethnic identity in sport • Exclusionary and inclusionary practices in sport: access, equity, and their social benefits • Human rights in sport On the relationship of Theme 2: Sport and Health sports participation to • Includes the study of health, nutrition, exercise science, sports medicine, and biomechanics physical, mental, or • Examines the relationships between health/physical fitness and other aspects of life (cognitive emotional health and abilities, work performance, social interactions) wellbeing • Exercise, fitness, and physical wellbeing • Sport and recreation in psycho-social wellbeing • Sports medicine and health sciences

This was a systematic review and reanalysis of national, population-based IPV estimates from 24 1998 – 2017 in the Americas. Estimates were reanalyzed for comparability or extracted from reports, including IPV prevalence by type (physical; sexual; physical and/or sexual), timeframe (ever; past year), and perpetrator 25 (any partner in life; current/most recent partner). In countries with 3+ rounds of data, Cochran-Armitage and 26 Pearson chi-square tests were used to assess whether changes over time were significant (P < 0.05). 27 Results. Eligible surveys were found in 24 countries. Women reported ever having experienced physical and/ 28 or sexual IPV at rates that ranged from 14% – 17% of women in Brazil, Panama, and Uruguay to over one-half 29 (58.5%) in Bolivia.
