Oct 26, 2005, 11:23:00 Rose Chepyator-Thomson, an associate professor of physical education and sport studies, gave the keynote address at the annual North American Society for the Sociology of Sport conference in Winston-Salem, NC, October 26-29.
In her address, Globalization, Sport Participation, and Environment, Chepyator-Thomson's address explained the ways in which globalization impacts global capitalism, promotes displacement of sports bodies/participants, and determines who journeys temporarily or permanently to take part in transnational sports competitions for personal and social development goals. She showed how these processes operate through information technology to influence market forces in the packaging and selling of movement codes in global environments, and function via internet technology to produce identities that oscillate between the real and imagined in sports participation in the cyberspace game environment.
