Are you interested in hearing experts' opinions on sports, media and racism? Block the 30th of November and the 3rd of December in your agenda, because Dr. Jacco van Sterkenburg will partake in interesting discussions.
Dr. Jacco van Sterkenburg will talk about media, soccer, racism and more at the ‘Science café Rotterdam’ of 30 November 2020. This monthly café aims to encourage dialogue between the general public and researchers.
Furthermore, on 3 December Van Sterkenburg will engage in an online conversation series on race and sport with Dr Akilah Carter-Francique (Associate professor San Jose State University and Executive Director - Institute for the Study of Sport, Society and Social Change, US). The event is organized by the sport for development and peace organization located in Istanbul – Turkey called BoMoVu (Network of Sport and Body Movement for Vulnerable Groups). View the poster below.
Aiming to expose and potentially dissolve the problem of racism in sports BoMoVu has been organizing anti-racism teach-ins, teacher trainings, online conversations and pedagogical tools. With this online conversation series (Anti)Racism in Sports, BoMoVu organizes weekly sessions each bringing together two interlocutors from a specific locality and/or bodily practice to discuss the problem of racism in their contexts. By that, the sessions aim at contributing to the international dialogue on the topic and trigger self-reflection by learning about different guises racism takes in sports.
