The Center’s academic activities are so far concerned by play culture, sport and olympics at different scales from local to global. The « longue durée » historical approach which is the core aspect of this academic project is conceived as a dialogue with the different social sciences. Its monthly workshop is open to every student and scholar from all over the world. « Sport, olympics and play cultures all around the world » Monthly Research Workshop Global Sport & Olympic Studies Center (GS&OSC) Sport Sciences Institute (ISSUL) Social and Political Science Faculty (FSSP) Lausanne University (UNIL) This monthly research workshop in history of sport and olympic studies is opened to the students of Master’s degree, to the PhD students and the post-­‐PhD students, to the researchers and the teachers of the ISSUL, of the UNIL and of the other Swiss and foreign universities, from all fields (philosophy and ethics, psychology, anthropology, ethnology, sociology, history, economics, law, media studies, area studies, cultural studies…), and who are specialized or not in sport and olympic studies.
