Research Initiatives

Athletes for Human Rights
The mission of the Athletes for Human Rights initiative is to research, educate and advocate on human rights in and through sport, focusing on the role of athletes and sport to impact social change locally, nationally and globally.

Disability in Sport
The Disability in Sport initiative advances access, inclusion, equality, respect, legitimacy and opportunity for people with disabilities in sport and in society. Through research, education and advocacy activities, Disability in Sport addresses the invisibility of people with disabilities.

Rhythm & Flow
The Rhythm & Flow Initiative is dedicated to the study of how music and sport intersect in society. It aims to discover how music and sport have been used and might be used to combat discrimination and promote human rights for all.
