Public lecture on understanding racism in sport
This event has already taken place.
Understanding race, racism and whiteness in sport can help combat racism.
Guest speaker Professor Kevin Hylton will discuss the topics of race, racism and whiteness in sporting organisations. He will examine the ways in which racism in sport often continues unrecognised, even within the university and sport science.
This lecture is important for anyone who works or studies in sport related fields, or for those concerned about equity and creating environments that are more inclusive. After some of the potential blind spots, structures and practices where racism goes unnoticed have been identified, appropriate measures can be put in place to improve equality.
Professor Kevin Hylton is invited to speak as Guest Lecturer by Dr Brent McDonald, Senior Lecturer in Sociology of Sport & Physical Activity in the College of Sport & Exercise Science, Victoria University.
Kevin is Professor of Equality and Diversity in Sport, Leisure and Education in the Carnegie Faculty at Leeds Beckett University, United Kingdom. He is a world leader in the area of sport and race, and his work on diversity, equity and inclusion has been extended into research and professional support for sports councils, equality bodies and local government.
