Protecting child rights in football
Sport Management students are learning first-hand from those at the forefront of protecting the rights of children entering professional football across the globe.
新澳门彩历史开奖记录 have partnered with UNICEF on projects that examine whether professional football provides opportunities that are in the best interests of children globally.
Helping young people to make their voices heard
Football is a sport with global appeal, but the increasingly commercialised industry is reliant on young people becoming involved in the sport at an early age.
Media and policy reports have revealed that for some children getting involved in football can result in them being at risk of emotional and physical harm.
Research influenced teaching
Students studying on the Sport Management BSc degree are now benefiting from the learnings gained during this research, in their first-year module ‘Critical Perspectives in Sport Management’.
The module, taught in part by Dr Mason, is designed to introduce students to some of the key issues and contemporary debates that are relevant to sports managers within the complex social, political, financial, and increasingly globalised environment within which they work, as well as to relevant theoretical concepts that aid the understanding of such issues and debates.
