symposiums and conferences シンポジウム・学会

On 26 Dec 1908 in Sydney, Australia, the African-American boxer Jack  Johnson (USA) defeated the white title holder Tommy Burns (Canada),  claiming the world heavy-weight championship and effectively breaking  the ?colour bar in American boxing. One hundred years later, in  the same city where this momentous event took place, delegates are  invited to discuss ways in which notions of race and ethnicity have  shaped world sport, and continue to do so. These areas of focus are  conceived broadly, and may thus encompass interrelated themes such as  indigeneity and cultural and linguistic diversity. Attendees from every part  of the globe and any social background will be made equally welcome.
