Host Deb Kent welcomes Professor Lynn Jamieson, with HPER, the School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation at Indiana University and former chair of HPER’s department of Recreation, Park and Tourism Studies talked about the problem of violence in sport, youth sport in particular. She discussed her professional and personal interest in the topic, as a professor but also as the mother whose sons were active in the local sports scene. Jamieson described the reasons why violence–among fans, athletes and parents–is so commonplace and offers solutions, some of which are already in place here in Bloomington. She also described her work with Unity in Sports, a collaborative effort among several universities to establish sport policies in other countries.
