The course will aim to understand, critically engage, and unpack the topics of sport and human rights, and will also address athlete activism, Olympism, sport and politics, sport for development and peace, and sport diplomacy. Through the lens of human rights, the course will focus on perspectives and intersectionality related to sport and gender, race, disability, sexual orientation, age, culture, and religion. The course will utilize case studies to explore international sport and human rights around the world particularly through professional sport, Olympic sport, and mega events.
