August 30, 2019
"The Global Sport Institute launched the 2019-2020 theme year of “Sport and the Body” on Aug. 29 with poetry, panelists and pledges to inform about issues and trends that impact the health and well-being of athletes.
Dr. Scott Brooks, the director of research at GSI and an associate professor with the T. Denny Sanford School of Social and Family Dynamics at Arizona State University led a panel of distinguished researchers and an undergraduate student-athlete that reflected the broad range of body-related research topics that researchers around the world, ASU faculty, staff and graduate students are currently engaged in.
Brooks emphasized the Institute’s desire this year to expand and collaborate more with others, as well as form partnerships with new schools in order to be truly multidisciplinary."
