Here at the RTA School of Media in the Faculty of Communication and Design we pride ourselves on innovation, impact, and international experiences. Our first cohort of students in the Sport Media program who graduated in June of 2018 are already making great strides in graduate studies programs and the very best sport media outlets such as – Rogers Sportsnet, Bell Media TSN, and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. This year’s conference themes around sport media vectors: digitization, expanding audiences, and the globalization of live sport are aligned with our own Sport Media program here at Ryerson. Sport is a huge part of culture, as well as business, and we are constantly exploring those issues in our curriculum and through experiential learning opportunities inside and outside the classroom that our students are routinely exposed to. We are very much looking forward to having you join us here for this year’s conference and exploring a variety of topics for discussion, presentations, and panels on sport and society. Our opening reception and panel on June 19th will address the globalization of live sport. On June 20th we will host a panel on homophobia in sport/media, and on our final day our plenary panel will look at the ever expanding sphere and influence of e-sports. We will also be holding a film festival over the two days of the conference showcasing sport documentaries produced by some of our faculty and top students. Many people have been instrumental in helping to stage this year’s conference and they include: Dean of the Faculty of Communication and Design, Charles Falzon; Chair of the RTA School of Media, Kathleen Pirrie- Adams; Manager of Operations & Administration, Shawn Haswell; Communications and Events Coordinator, Erin Kjaer. Also, special kudos to my colleague and co-Chair of this event, Professor Laurel Walzak, who attended the Eighth International Sport and Society Conference with me in London and was the first to say, “we need to bring this to Toronto and Ryerson.” We would also like to thank the staff at the Common Ground Research Networks for their role in helping to organize this conference, including Dr. Homer Stavely, Dr. Philip Kalantzis-Cope, and Michele Hill. We hope you enjoy your stay here in Toronto and at Ryerson and look forward to many interesting, informative, and scholarly discussions around Sport and Society. Cordially, Joe Recupero Program Director – Sport Media Assistant Professor RTA School of Media Ryerson University 350 Victoria Street t: 416-979-5017 ryerson.ca/rta Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5B 2K3 f: 416-979-5246 sportandsociety.com Dear Sport & Society Conference Delegates, Welcome to Toronto and to the Tenth International Conference on Sport & Society. My colleagues and I from Common Ground Research Networks are honored to have you join us for this year’s conference. Over the course of three and a half decades, Common Ground has given voice to many thousands of scholars—speakers and authors with things to say about the world and who are saying them in order to change the world. Common Ground has a strong commitment to providing opportunities for people like you to meet, share, and learn from each other. Across its range of research networks, Common Ground is deeply concerned with the critical issues of our time including, among other things, the nature of social change, the relationships of the human species to nature, the process of knowledge creation, the changing shape of organizations, and the dynamics of learning. These raise big-picture questions which in turn demand an interdisciplinary perspective, something that is often neglected in discipline-based conference, journal, and institutional structures. Throughout its history, Common Ground has worked to develop new approaches to knowledge community building, including interactive conference formats, criterion-referenced peer review, and online social knowledge media. As a media innovator, we are creating the spaces and technical conditions in which, collectively, we can explore the cultural, political, and economic relationships of sport to society. While conference inspiration may fade with time, Common Ground offers
