The Olympics in East Asia: Nationalism, Regionalism and Globalism on the Center Stage of World Sports
This international symposium brings together scholars from three continents to consider the historical contributions of East Asian nations to the Olympics and the impact of the Olympics on these East Asian societies.
When:
October 3, 2008 2:00pm to October 4, 2008 12:00am
Organized by William W. Kelly (Yale University) and Susan Brownell (University of Missouri-Saint Louis)
The 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics have brought East Asia to the center stage of the global Olympic movement, in celebration and in controversy. However, East Asia’s involvement in the Olympics is century-old, and the Olympic Games, Summer and Winter, have been held in Japan, South Korea, and China a total of five times in recent decades. This international symposium brings together scholars from three continents to consider the historical contributions of East Asian nations to the Olympics and the impact of the Olympics on these East Asian societies.
All members of Yale University and the community are welcome at the sessions and the reception. Please register for this event by Monday, September 29, 2008 via email to Anne Letterman or call 203-432-3428.
