DESCRIPTION:The Fall 2023 Eakin Lecture\, delivered by Professor Derek Silv
 a.\n\nThis event is free but registration is mandatory. Please register vi
 a this link.\n\nSport is perhaps the most popular form of culture in socie
 ty today. For many\, sport provides an outlet for pleasure and relaxation 
 and can function as an “opiate” to negotiate the rigours of everyday life.
  Yet\, although sport can provide participants\, fans\, and onlookers with
  meaning\, pleasure\, and emotional investment\, the contemporary lifeworl
 d of Canadian sport is rife with stories of harm\, abuse\, and exploitatio
 n by those who participate in it. Look no further than the recent Standing
  Committee on the Status of Women and Girls in Sport Parliamentary hearing
 s or the very current calls for an independent judicial inquiry into abuse
  in Canadian sport by scholars and athletes alike. Contextualizing the lon
 g histories of harm and abuse that are at the core of elite sport in Canad
 a\, we will explore the familiar realm of sport from a perspective that un
 derlines the many ways harm and abuse have proliferated and become embedde
 d in the Canadian sporting landscape. Echoing similar calls from scholars 
 and athletes\, Professor Silva will aim to answer the questions of why Can
 ada needs an independent judicial inquiry into harm and abuse in sport and
  why that is nowhere near enough to provide justice for survivors.\n\nDere
 k Silva is associate professor of sociology at King’s University College a
 t Western University in London\, Ontario\, and the Fall 2023 Visiting Eaki
 n Fellow in the 91������ Institute for the Study of Canada. His areas of int
 erest include sociocultural studies of sport\, labour\, racism\, and punis
 hment. His book The End of College Football: Exploitation and Harm in the 
 Ivory Tower and on the Gridiron (with Dr. Nathan Kalman-Lamb) will be publ
 ished with UNC Press in Fall 2024\, and his most recent book\, Power Playe
 d: A Critical Criminology of Sport (with Dr. Liam Kennedy)\, was published
  in 2022 with UBC Press. In addition to his scholarly work\, Professor Sil
 va has published in major media outlets such as the Los Angeles Times\, TI
 ME\, The Guardian\, Jacobin\, The Daily Beast\, among others\, and he is a
  co-host and producer of The End of Sport podcast\, which focuses on quest
 ions of harm and justice in the sporting world.\n\nThe lecture will be fol
 lowed by a Q&A and reception.\n\nThe lecture will be livestreamed and late
