This article is the first detailed academic analysis of the background, organisation, content, and immediate outcomes of the first World Conference on Women and Sport which took place in Brighton, UK, between 05-08 May 1994. Women and sport conferences are now commonplace in many parts of the world. Yet in the mid-1990s, Brighton was ground-breaking and the result of concerted activism for women and sport by agents who had participated in various advocacy organisations for decades. Titled ‘Women, Sport, and the Challenge of Change’, the Conference convened approximately 280 delegates, including representatives of major sporting and non-sporting organisations, based in over eighty countries. They contributed toward establishing a more coordinated and purposeful international strategy for women and sport. However, confusion and competition between existing organisations advocating for women and sport is apparent before and during Brighton. The Conference has also encountered criticism for Western ethnocentrism and liberalised political outcomes. This article contributes to understanding the galvanisation of a collective identity and politicisation of advocacy for women’s sport, and the salience of conferences as sites enabling this. Archival document analysis and interviews with key agents involved with the advocacy were employed to understand the relations, politics and significance of the Conference.

布莱顿妇女与体育会议

这篇文章是对 1994 年 5 月 5 日至 8 日在英国布莱顿举行的第一届世界妇女与体育大会的背景、组织、内容和直接成果的第一次详细的学术分析。妇女和体育会议现在司空见惯在世界许多地方。然而,在 1990 年代中期,布莱顿是开创性的,是几十年来参与各种倡导组织的代理人为女性和体育共同行动的结果。此次会议以“女性、体育和变革的挑战”为题,召集了大约 280 名代表,其中包括来自 80 多个国家的主要体育和非体育组织的代表。他们为制定更协调、更有针对性的妇女和体育国际战略做出了贡献。然而,在布莱顿之前和期间,倡导女性和体育的现有组织之间的混乱和竞争显而易见。会议还因西方民族中心主义和自由化政治结果而受到批评。本文有助于理解集体认同的激励和女性体育倡导的政治化,以及会议作为实现这一目标的场所的显着性。档案文件分析和与参与倡导的主要代理人的访谈被用来了解会议的关系、政治和意义。本文有助于理解集体认同的激励和女性体育倡导的政治化,以及会议作为实现这一目标的场所的显着性。档案文件分析和与参与倡导的主要代理人的访谈被用来了解会议的关系、政治和意义。本文有助于理解集体认同的激励和女性体育倡导的政治化,以及会议作为实现这一目标的场所的显着性。档案文件分析和与参与倡导的主要代理人的访谈被用来了解会议的关系、政治和意义。
