Welcome!
We want to welcome you to the Swedish Behavioural and Social Science Sport Research (SVEBI) annual conference in Falun, Sweden, 21-22 November, 2018. The theme for the conference is "Trends and issues that are changing sport and physical education: social scientific perspectives". The languages used during the conference will be Swedish and English.
We are delighted to announce our two keynote speakers for the SVEBI conference 2018 in Falun: Professor Brett Smith from the University of Birmingham, England, and Professor Sigmund Loland from the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences, Norway.

Professor Brett Smith
Professor Brett Smith is Head of Research and holds a Chair in Physical Activity and Health at the School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences, University of Birmingham. Prior to this appointment, Brett was Professor in Qualitative Health Research in the School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences at Loughborough University. Brett is a leading expert on disability, health, and physical activity. His research draws on psychology, sociology, and critical disability studies, and includes projects on the promotion of health and wellbeing amongst disabled people through physical activity; the use of stories, infographics, and animation to translate knowledge about physical activity and promote behavior change; and Paralympic identities, social activism, and retirement from Para-sport. Brett is also internationally recognised as a methodologist in qualitative research. He is passionate about cross disciplinary research, and founded the international journal Qualitative Research in Sport, Exercise and Health (QRSEH). QRSEH is today the leading journal in publishing qualitative sport science research and discussing qualitative research methodology.
