Olympism - Part 1
Olympism - Part 1
Wednesday, July 21, 2021 (12:00 PM - 1:30 PM) (PDT)
Description
“The goal of Olympism is to place sport at the service of the harmonious development of humankind, with a view to promoting a peaceful society concerned with the preservation of human dignity" (The Olympic Charter, p. 11)
Yet controversy often swirls around the Olympics as the Games confront commercialization, politicization, and commodification, sexism, racism, corruption, violence, and cheating. During this episode we welcome experts to examine issues concerning the games from the realms of economics, media, education, and human rights.
Join Dr. Jennifer Walinga for the first session in the Olympics Feature which is part of our Sport, Leadership and Social Change webinar series. In this episode, we will jump into the Olympics before the games begin. Register today!
