About the award
The ISSA welcomes submissions for the Honorary Member Award on a rolling basis.
The Executive Board invites nominations for an Honorary Member award in the International Sociology of Sport Association. This award honors outstanding contributions to the International Sociology of Sport Association and to the sociological study of sport. The recipient of this award must meet both of the following criteria:
- a long career of service to the International Sociology of Sport Association
- a distinguished international academic career as a sociologist of sport. Individuals who are retired from formal academic positions are eligible for Honorary Member awards.

- Full, lifetime membership in the International Sociology of Sport Association, including subscription to theInternational Review for the Sociology of Sport;
- Free, lifetime registration to the International Sociology of Sport Association’s annual conference.
