More than a Competition: Ethics and Sport

MSU

Dr. Pam sailors is a philosophy Professor at Missouri State University.  She is also very interested in sport, as a way of attaining excellence. 

However, in her role as an applied ethicist, she is examining the ways that ethical choices impact the world of sport.

Join us as she comes by the studio to talk about her work, whether on the way football confronts health risks or the implicit gender inequality in some areas of athletics.

Dr. David Cornelison has been working as an educator and scientist in Arizona and Missouri universities for the last 32 years. From 2010-2018, he was the head of the Department of Physics, Astronomy and Materials Science at Missouri State University. His research interests lie at the intersection of experimental condensed-matter physics and astrophysics, while his educational efforts have focused on outreach to the K-12 school system. Most of all, he believes in curiosity-driven learning in the sciences and all other fields.
