CFP: British Philosophy of Sport Conference
This came in from a regular blog reader, Meghan Ferriter of the University of Abertay Dundee. Meghan says that more information will be available at at the BPSA website (which unfortunately seems to be down at the moment). For more information I would suggest contacting Meghan directly at: m.ferriter@abertay.ac.uk or m.ferriter.1@research.gla.ac.uk.
The details sound pretty interesting... especially golf at Carnoustie! (Hopefully the golf and whisky tasting are not at the same time). Don't forget the deadline is fast approaching.
