THE SEWARD C. STALEY HONOR ADDRESS

Tony Collins, De Montfort University, England

Tony Collins is Emeritus Professor of History at De Mont-fort University in England. He is the author of many arti-cles and books examining the history of sport in Britain and around the world, including ’Rugby’s Great Split’ (1998), ’Sport in Capitalist Society’ (2012), ‘The Oval World’ (2015) and ‘How Football Began: A Global History of How The World’s Football Codes Were Born’ (2018). Four of his books have won the British Society of Sports History’s ‘Aberdare Prize’ for sports history book of the year.

He completed his PhD at Sheffield Hallam University in 1996 and worked at De Montfort University from 1999 to 2006. He was subsequently head of the Institute of Northern Studies at Leeds Metropolitan University between 2006 and 2010 before returning to De Montfort in 2011 to become director of the International Centre for Sports History and Culture until 2013. In 2018 he was a visiting professor at Beijing Sports University.

Alongside his academic career he has worked as a histor-ical consultant for numerous TV and radio programmes, such as BBC radio’s 2012 flagship radio series ‘Sport and the British’, the History Channel’s ‘Alfie Allen’s History of Football’ and BBC TV’s ‘The Rugby Codebreakers’.

He is a strong believer in historians engaging with the public and has served on committees of sports founda-tions, such as the Hull Kingston Rovers’ Community Trust, museums including the World Rugby Museum at Twick-enham and the UK’s Heritage Lottery Fund. In March 2018 he began a weekly podcast, ‘Rugby Reloaded’, that explores the history of rugby and the other codes of foot-ball. He is currently working on heritage projects with the organising committee for the 2021 Rugby League World Cup and completing a new book ‘Rugby League: A Peo-ple’s History’ for the 125th anniversary of the founding of the sport in 2020.

The Maxwell L. Howell and Reet Howell International Address

In 1973, when NASSH held its first convention, it was decided to have special lectures to honor individuals who played significant roles in the development of sport history. The three historians chosen by the Society were John R. Betts, Maxwell L. Howell, and Seward C. Staley. At least one lecture is given every year. In 1994, the Howell Address was renamed to honor distinguished sport historian Reet Howell as well as her husband, Maxwell Howell.

MAXWELL L. HOWELL (1927-2014) was born in Australia and participated and coached in international sport. He retired in 1992 from the University of Queensland, where he held the first chair in Human Movement Studies in Australia. Prior to his return to Australia, he had been Director of Human Kinetics at the University of Ottawa, Dean of the College of Professional Studies at San Diego State University, and was a faculty member at the University of British Columbia and the University of Alberta. Max was chosen NASSH president-elect in 1975 and also served as president and past-president. REET ANN (NURMBERG) HOWELL (1945-1993), born in Sweden, took her PH.D. at the University of California at Berkeley. Her research focussed on Soviet sport, women’s sport, and Australian sport history. Before her death in 1993 from cancer, she (often with Max as co-author) had published fifteen books and more than sixty book chapters and journal articles. Max and Reet Howell were deeply committed to NASSH and their leadership in the early years of the society helped to establish and give credibility to the emerging field of sport history.

JOHN R. BETTS (1917–1971) was a professor of history at Boston Col-lege and recognized as a serious cultural and intellectual historian when he died in the summer of 1971. He was also the leading histo-rian of the cultural and social impact of American sport at that time. Among his published articles in sport history are: “The Technologi-cal Revolution and the Rise of Sport” (1953), “Agricultural Fairs and the Rise of Harness Racing” (1953), and “Mind and Body in Early American Thought” (1968). His manuscript on the cultural history of sport in America was nearing completion when he passed away. It was published posthumously as America’s Sporting Heritage, 1850-1950. John Betts devoted attention to sport history because the subject stimulated an intellectual curiosity in him and the study of sport history has benefited greatly by his reputable research in the area.

NASSH Social Media GuidelinesOfficial Conference Hashtag: #NASSH2019

The North American Society for Sport History (NASSH) endorses the use of social media at its annual convention. We encourage attendees using social media platforms to engage in the conversations and the dissemination of sport history scholarship. We encourage participants to use the hashtag #NASSH2019 to comment on anything related to the conference, including thoughts on presen-tations or honorary lectures, questions about logistics, or planning for social events. We encourage conference presenters and attendees to follow the official Journal of Sport History Twitter account: @JournSportHist who will tweet logistical and planning information pertinent to the conference. We recommend the following guidelines:

For Presenters

1. Assume that your presentation may be tweeted. If you do not want your presentation to be tweeted, be sure to make that clear verbally at the beginning of your presen-tation as well as at the bottom of your first slide.

2. If applicable, provide the audience with your Twitter handle by displaying it on the first slide of your presenta-tion as well as announcing it verbally.

For Those Posting to Social Media

1. Do not tweet or post about a presentation if asked not to by the presenter.

2. Be aware of your surroundings and whether you are a distraction to the presenter or anyone else. Please be sure to mute notifications and keypad sounds.

3. Make sure to mention the paper/session title.

4. Attribute any quotes or info to presenters (Twitter handle, where appropriate, or the presenter’s full name). If blogging, we encourage you to link to the presenter’s personal or academic website.

5. If presenters are not on social media, do your best to

notify them of any questions or critiques that you tweeted or posted. If you are unsure whether you have quoted the presentation correctly, confirm with the presenter before posting or tweeting.

6. If someone else has tweeted or posted a question related to the presentation that has not been introduced during the question and answer, please bring it to the attention of the presenter by noting “on twitter, [twitter handle] asked the following…” or “on [website name], the question has been posed…”

7. In the spirit of NASSH, be kind, courteous, and respectful. Please do not post anything on social media that you would not be willing to say in person.

From the NASSH Program Committee

On behalf of the 2019 NASSH Program Committee, I would like to express my appreciation to all those who

took part in this year’s conference, either as presenters, moderators or commentators. I would also like to

thank Steve Gietschier for helping to secure the Riverside Hotel for this year’s conference and Kim Scott for

attending to the logistics and helping facilitate the organization of the sessions as well as design and layout the

program. It has truly been beneficial to have for the first time a full-time meeting planner who can answer

questions relating to the conference, serve as the liaison between the organization and conference site, and

take care of all the details relating to conference meals, room assignments, audio-visual needs, and a host

of other items. I would, moreover, like to express my appreciation to both Jan Todd and Kevin Wamsley for

their guidance and support and everything they have done for the organization. Last, but certainly not least,

I would like to thank Andy Linden for the time he has spent and efforts he has made in his role as NASSH

Webmaster. Like last year, Andy was in charge of the online submission process for this year’s conference and

has taken the lead on all NASSH communications. We are all indebted to Andy for his service.
