NASSS 2008

2008-11-13T07:42:00.000-08:00

How a year does fly by! This year's NASSS sounded fun. Graduate students Melissa Wiser, Claire Williams and Sungjoo Park all gave presentations. Here is a picture from Melissa and Claire. Dr. Fields also presented at the conference and took full advantage of the conference's location in stunning Denver, CO.

NASSH 2008-Lake Placid

2008-08-08T08:20:00.000-07:00

I have some photos to share of the 2008 Lake Placid NASSH. All photos are courtesy of Jennifer Hardes. The conference was a success, all of the presentations went well and SEHers' accomplished quite a bit of networking. The indoor pictures are at the "Miracle" ice skating rink, where the United States' hockey team defeated the USSR. It seemed smaller than the movies make it out to be. In fact, it was hard to imagine how little Lake Placid hosted the entire Winter Olympics in 1980. It was, however, a lovely town.

Kylee's and Allison's(not pictured) last exam at OSU

The program formerly known as SEH, now renamed SH, recently had a get-together at Ari de Wilde's duplex. The dog, Bailey, was pleased to donate his talents to the above pictures. From all of us at the new SH happy holidays.

NASSS 2007

2007-11-05T11:56:00.000-08:00

NASSS went Great!!! Jennifer Hardes won the Masters Award for her rebellious effort on the paradigmatic assumptions of sport sociologists.
The turn coat-Dr. William J. Morgan won honorable mention for his book "Why Sports Morally Matter," and was nice enough to buy dinner for Ari and Dan.
In addition, there were plenty of presentations that had big names nodding along. Dan interacted with Michael Messner and several other impressed people. These include Sam Morris, Bona Lee, Kylee Studer, Dan "fire-me" Demay, Ari de Wilde, Megan Chawansky, Melissa Wiser(Women's Studies),Dr. Sarah Fields, and Claire Williams.

If you know the reference—open source—all the way…
