We aim to reflect the diversity of our students and communities, and to strengthen our university through collaboration and diverse perspectives, across all roles at the University.
About the role
Project description:
Athletes across a number of sports and levels of competition have expressed concern that interpersonal violence (i.e., the intentional use of power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person or against a group or community, that either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment or deprivation) is normalised within sport.
Disciplinary practice within these settings may ensure that athletes remain compliant and observe a “code of silence” in the face of abusive or coercive behaviours. This project will employ a survey design to identify some of the factors that encourage or deter athletes from speaking out against interpersonal violence in sport. An important goal of the project is to address the IOC’s recent call to “further strengthen safe sport and the protection of clean athletes”, “reinforce athlete’s rights and responsibilities”, and “strengthen safe sport/safeguarding across the Olympic Movement”.
