Liverpool Hope University will host a one-day Conference on Sport, Conflict and Reconciliation on 28 April.

The main focus of the conference is the use of sport for conflict resolution, post-conflict reconstruction and rehabilitation, and peace-building. There will be at least one panel on this topic, as well as a keynote address from Prof. John Sugden of the University of Brighton.

The conference organisers also welcome papers from all academic disciplines dealing with other aspects of sport and conflict.

The event will be organised by the Archbishop Desmond Tutu Centre for War and Peace Studies at Liverpool Hope University, and will be held at Liverpool Hope University's Conference Centre.

Paper proposals (title and an abstract of not more than 300 words) should be submitted by 31 January.
