Invitation to Submit


We invite you to submit a paper abstract or a poster abstract for the 2007 NASSS Conference, “Beyond Other Boundaries: Sport within/against/across Borders,” to be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, October 31-November 3. Scholars from a variety of disciplines and interdisciplinary "fields" examining issues relevant to the study of sport are encouraged to submit their work.

Submission Procedure


Please read through the session and poster abstracts listed on the Sessions page to determine which session theme best matches your paper/poster. After you have determined the session to which you want to submit your paper, go to the Abstract Submissions page and follow the instructions to fill out the submission form. Once you submit via the Web, a copy of your abstract will be sent to the session organizer and the program chair. Please print the confirmation page for your records. If you have any questions about the session, contact the session organizer using the email address found on your confirmation page. If you are unsure about which session you should submit to, or you believe you have a topic that does not easily fit one of the identified sessions, please submit your abstract to the Open Session.

Abstract Format and Submission Requirements


Abstracts will be reprinted and published in the Conference Abstracts as submitted. Thus, it is imperative that these guidelines be considered prior to submitting. The simpler your submission is, the easier it will be to convert into a publishable form.
