Public Seminars & Symposia

Public Symposia

The Faculty offers free public events aimed at addressing current – and sometimes controversial – topics in sport, physical activity, and health. We encourage members of the public, journalists, experts and colleagues to attend and engage in these thought-provoking discussions.

Following is a list of past symposia. Complete descriptions and video summaries are available by clicking on each title.
