EASS 2016 SPORT IN THE CITY: MOBILITY URBANITY AND SOCIAL CHANGE

Copenhagen, Denmark

4-7 May 2016

Dear Friends and Colleagues

Welcome to the 2016 eass conference. The 13^th eass conference Sport in the City: Mobility, Urbanity and Social Change will be held in the Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports (NEXS) at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, from 4-7 May 2016.

Copenhagen is the city of cities when it comes to exercise and movement. The urban way of life is spreading in the entire western world and to a great extent influences the social interactions for better or worse. Late modern lifestyles full of physical activity form the urban landscape and shape a city, which is alive, open, and creative, but the social change processes also establish outsider groups in the shadows of the periphery. Social inequality and exclusion leave footprints in the dusty gravel of the parks.

The city as a phenomenon is growing and thus also the life forms of the city. Perhaps because of this, living a sporty and healthy lifestyle is relevant like never before.

We invite those interested in the study of sport and society to address issues within a wide range of classic domains and newly emerging ones. We are pleased to announce our keynote speakers:

• Professor Nick Crossley, University of Manchester, UK
• Professor Joseph Maguire, Loughborough University, UK
• Professor Emeritus Gertrud Pfister, University of Copenhagen, DK
