Routledge, in conjunction with the 2012 International Convention on Science, Education and Medicine in Sport (ICSEMIS), have invited the Editorial Boards of a number of journals to publish a special issue on the London Olympic Games - 38 have so far accepted. The organisers now need help from academics all over the UK to produce a series of critical studies on the Olympics to be published in 2012 and 2013. Can you help?
The 2012 London Olympic Games present a unique opportunity for the academic community and Routledge to address in a systematic way the global phenomenon that is the Olympics. The Games have been generating considerable scholarly interest and rightfully have been referred to as a laboratory for the analysis of modern society. In response, Routledge and ICSEMIS 2012 have announced the Routledge 2012 Olympics Special Issue.
Routledge has a pedigree in promoting Olympic-related texts and its strategic involvement with the 2012 ICSEMIS Pre-Olympic Convention combined with its forward thinking would allow us to make a major contribution to the field of Olympic Studies and a range of other disciplines.
