The Philosophy & Ethics Research Group consists of philosophers at Cardiff Met, as well as a network of external collaborators.
We devote ourselves to some of the most fundamental and vexing issues in sport with questions like:
- What is the relationship between sport and addictive personality & behaviours?
- Are sportspersons role models?
- What is equality in sport & how can it be achieved?
- Is it ok for athletes to change allegiance form one country to another?
- Is there gender equality in (competitive) sport?
- Can women with hyperandrogenism participate in elite sport?
- Should performance enhancing substances be banned in sport?
- Should boxing be banned?
