Athletes and Social Change
Editors: Eli Wolff, Brown University & Mary Hums, University of Louisville
What does it mean for athletes to engage in social change, philanthropy and work within the community? This bulletin will focus on the following considerations:
1. The roles and responsibilities athletes have beyond the playing field
2. The ways athletes can serve as educators and advocates to address social problems within and outside of sports
3. How the global sporting community encourages or discourages athletes working in the realm of social change
4. The roles educational institutions play in providing a grounding for athletes to make the connections between athletics, academics and the community
