The End of Sport@endofsportpod.bsky.social · last yr.

Real leadership when required most from @nasssbsky.bsky.social. Other scholarly orgs should take note.

Nathan Kalman-Lamb@nkalamb.bsky.social · last yr.

In a move that *should* be precedent-setting for other scholarly organizations, the North American Society for the Sociology of Sport (NASSS) announces that this year’s conference will be held concurrently at sites in the US and Canada and online due to the dangerous US political climate.

1. We have decided not to host a single-site in-person conference in Seattle this year. Instead, we will have two in-person sites and a robust online participation option. While we are still working out the details, we will have an in-person conference site in Seattle, another in-person conference site in Vancouver, B.C., and significantly more opportunities for online participation than in years past, as well as opportunities for sessions that virtually bring together folx in the two in-person locations. We emphasize that we want your own safety and comfort to be the primary consideration as you decide whether and how to participate in this year’s conference. Wherever you live and whatever your citizenship status and/or subject position, we encourage you to carefully consider which of the three participation options (if any) you decide to take up. It is entirely up to you whether you feel safe or willing to cross a border or to travel at all. To help us with our organizational efforts, we will be sending out a very short survey in the coming days. It is imperative that we hear from as many NASSSers as possible both in terms of organizational efforts and to minimize our financial liabilities.
