Cesar R. Torres was elected president of the International Association for the Philosophy of Sport (IAPS) for the 2009-2011 period. IAPS was established in 1972 as the Philosophic Society for the Study of Sport. Its name was changed in 1999.
IAPS is committed to stimulate, encourage, and promote research, scholarship, and teaching in the philosophy of sport and related practices. To accomplish its purpose, IAPS organizes an annual conference and publishes a newsletter as well as the Journal of the Philosophy of Sport, which is widely acknowledged as the most respected medium for communicating contemporary philosophic thought with regard to sport.
IAPS members are found all over the world and constitute a growing and vibrant international community of scholars and teachers. On behalf of IAPS, Torres, an associate professor in the AKA-member Department of Kinesiology, Sport Studies, and Physical Education at The College at Brockport, State University of New York, invites you to explore the Association’s newly redesigned Web site at www.iaps.net and to share ideas and information about the philosophic thinking concerning sport.
