Overview

JSSGS, established in April 2002, will celebrate its 20th anniversary this year. To commemorate this anniversary, JSSGS has prepared three programs: “20th Anniversary Program,” “Keynote Lectures,” and “Symposiums”.

For the 20th anniversary commemorative program, we will deliver a video message from Dr.Kari Fasting, and attempt to carry on the legacy of JSSGS by inviting key members who were involved in the founding of the academic society to speak about the situation at that time and their thoughts on the founding of the society.

In the keynote speech, Dr. Yayo Okano, who has been reviewing democracy itself from the viewpoint of care and conducting research on the social significance and ethical issues of the activity of care, will talk about sports, the body, and politics from this viewpoint.

In the symposium, we will change the perspective from the research project of the JSSGS 20th Annual Congress to explore what Tokyo 2020 has covered up and what has been covered up by Tokyo 2020 in terms of “sports,” “society,” and the “media” that connect the two.

Due to the impact of the spread of COVID-19, the 21st Anniversary Congress will also be held online. We hope that many of you will be able to participate.

The Keynote Lecture is open to the public. (Attendance to the Keynote Lecture only is free of charge for both members and non-members of the Society.)
