Human Rights In and Through Sport

Description

Join us for our 5th episode of the Sport, Leadership and Social Change series during which we will explore Human Rights In and Through Sport. There are many examples within sport of human rights challenges including issues of gender and sexuality, performance enhancement, power and politics, accessibility and social welfare; yet sport can also act as a powerful force for social change through social purpose organizations; athlete activism movements; and national legislative changes.

This session is hosted by Dr. Jennifer Walinga with guest panelists Dr. Angela Schneider Professor of Sport and Ethics and Chair of Western University’s International Center for Olympic Studies and Dr. Frank Fowlie Commissioner for Athletics Canada and serving with the UN as Olympic Games Officer and the Court of Arbitration for Sport as mediator.
