We Want to Hear From You

We invite scholars, practitioners, educators, cultural custodians, and researchers to submit abstracts for oral presentations, poster presentations, workshops, demonstrations, and panel discussions at the inaugural Joshua Nkomo Sports Science and Physical Activity Conference.

We particularly encourage proposals that bridge theory and practice, and that explore the integration of indigenous knowledge with modern sports science.
