Submission Guidelines
Please send your paper to us (admin@sportanthro.org) rather than sharing it to the group yourselves. This just means that if we have an update for everyone, we can send it in the same email, and also ensures we send it to people who may not be on the mailing list (i.e. invited discussants, etc).
As we meet on Thursdays, please try to submit by the Monday beforehand.
When you email us your paper, please include a few bits of information to share with the group:
- A brief statement about your general research area
- A short paragraph on what the paper will cover
- An indication of where it fits within your work/your thesis/the publication you’re submitting to
- Anything you want us to focus on specifically, or issues to address
None of this has to be too specific as obviously things change and aren’t always fleshed out, but the more context you can provide, the quicker we can get to discussing your writing.
