Sport as form of moral education. Can Sport make us Good?
16th July 2014
In this video, Dr David Webster asks Dr Emily Ryall whether sport can feature in our moral education – whether it contributes to character formation. In short – can sport make us good?
This video really just acts as a starting point – and there are some very complex and substantial issues to explore in Sports ethics. A good place to read up on these – with lots of topical material – is the ‘Sports Ethicist’ blog which you can find at http://sportsethicist.com/
Dr Ryall teaches at the Oxstalls campus of the University of Gloucestershire, and is Senior Lecturer in the Philosophy of Sport.
You can find her blog at http://emilyryall.net – and you can find her on twitter as @emilyryall (Dave is also on there as @davidwebster)

If you were to develop a structure that everyone should live by would you include sport in that structure? I’m trying to develop such a structure, follow the progress and contribute here http://crowdsourcereligion.wordpress.com/2014/07/16/day-3-progress/
