Ethics in Sport

Catalog description

This course includes an introduction and moderate exploration of ethics in sports. Most of the content is reliant upon the four dominant contemporary ethical-decision making models – consequentialism, deontology, contract theory, and virtue ethics – and their nexus with sports. Topics include foundational ethics, fair play, performance-enhancing techniques, gender equity, intercollegiate sports, the business of sports, social responsibility in sports, violence in sports, and other dilemmas in sports as they are topical.
