First of all, I would like to introduce myself. My name
is Katrin Koenen and I am pleased to have taken over as Publications and
Scientific Affairs Manager from the beginning of June. Some of you may
know me already as I have worked for ICSSPE a couple of times before on
a project basis. My last projects were the conferences on ‘Rehabilitation
through Adapted Physical Activity and Sport for Children and Youth Affected
by the Tsunami in Southeast Asia’ held in Bangkok, 2005, and it’s
follow up conference in January in Berlin and I also published the last
Bulletin. I am very happy to now be a real ‘member’ of the
ICSSPE team and hope to be able to offer you some informative and interesting
publications.
Bulletin 48 features ‘Sport and Human Rights’,
with contributions from a range of countries, showing many different ways
to look at this theme. It also contains - I think for the first time -
profiles and quotes on Sport and Human Rights. This issue certainly would
not contain the breadth and depth of papers and contributors without the
much appreciated collaboration of Eli A. Wolff, Northeastern University
Center for the Study of Sport in Society and Dr. Mary A. Hums, University
of Louisville, to whom I wish to say a very special thank-you!
The Current Issues section contains a report from T.P. Reilly entitled
‘Environmental Aspects of the Olympic Games – an Interdisciplinary
Approach’. It is extremely interesting and reflects on how environmental
aspects influence the outcomes of major sports tournaments. The second
article by Malek El Habil gives us an interesting view of the IAAF Athletics’
World Plan, with a focus on the IAAF World Athletics Day, and its outreach
to schools.
Again, many events will be held in all fields of sport, sport science
and physical activity, and many of them can be found in our Upcoming
Events listing in the Partners and Events section of the Bulletin.
Please also keep up to date with news from Members, where you will
find an article on ‘Sport for ancient People of Siberia’
by Valerii Krasilnikov.
Christophe Mailliet will give a summary of the ICSSPE meetings in Berlin
in the ICSSPE news section, where we are saddened to announce the deaths
of Jürgen Palm and Alain Poncet, who both dedicated their life
to sport science and Physical Education.
In the Resources section, please find bibliographic information on
Sport and Human Rights, along with a book review called “Wooden
on Leadership” and our regular webliography.
Don’t forget that as an ICSSPE member, you
are also able to complete a Conference Announcement Form online (in the
Member’s section of our website) that will automatically be added
to our Member’s Events list on the website (www.icsspe.org).
Your announcement will also be included in the Bulletin Upcoming Events
list. Please let us know about any meetings, conferences or events that
you wish to share with everyone. With best wishes for happy reading
Katrin
