Workshop Leader(s): Dr Jonathan Grix, School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences

Bringing together academics from the School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences, the Ironbridge International Institute for Cultural Heritage and the Department of English Language and Applied Linguistics as well as external academic input this workshop is a unique opportunity to explore the Olympics from three unique angles: politics, linguistics and heritage.

Each topic will deliver a panel themed around Olympism. The workshop will conclude with a multi-disciplinary panel that answers and asks further questions about themes that run concurrently in each of the panels.
