CFP - Sports and Film History (Special Issue of Film & History)

Deadline: March 2005

Special Issue of "Film & History: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Film and TV Studies"
www.filmandhistory.org

Film and Sport

The interdisciplinary journal Film & History seeks submissions for a special issue focused on discussions of sport in film and television. The topic will be approached broadly, with submissions sought on American and international sport featured in both documentaries and feature films. Sport scholars who have been engaged in filmmaking or
worked with filmmakers are invited to share their insights. In addition, papers discussing how sport in film may be incorporated into the classroom are encouraged. Both film and sport offer insights into culture and history, and in combining these topics this edition should make for some exciting reading and scholarship. Film & History has been published since the establishment of the Historians Film Committee by John E. O’Conner and Martin A. Jackson in 1970. This affiliated committee of the American Historical Association encourages the use of film sources in teaching and research through the publication of this journal and related scholarly activities. Peter
Rollins of Oklahoma State University has edited the journal since 1994.

(All authors must be subscribers at the time of acceptance for publication—if they are not so previous to that time.) Questions about this special issue may be directed to the Sport on Film special issue editor Ron Briley (rbriley@sandiaprep.org) or to the
General Editor, Peter Rollins, (RollinsPC@aol.com). Deadline for
submissions is March 1, 2005. Please format manuscripts in Chicago
Manual of Style.
