The Centre brings together sport philosophers, sport ethicists, MAISI students, doctoral students, visiting scholars and associated members to promote collaborative research on contemporary ethical and conceptual issues in sport.
The mission of the centre is:
- to promote collaborative research on contemporary ethical problems in sport.
- to contribute to public discussion and policy development at national and international levels;
- to develop research outputs of high quality;
- to participate in national and international sports ethics projects.
The team focuses on applied sports philosophy and applied sports ethics, especially topics such as the categorization of athletes in sport (sex, age, weight, dis/ability), issues in parasport, contemporary problems in female sport, ethical problems in the use of social media by athletes, corruption in sport, sport and technology, democratic governance of sport organizations, moral education and theory of Olympism, body ecology and the quality of athletes’ experiencing in sport, and ethics of the outdoors and martial arts/combat sports.
