Brock University’s Sport Management program has partnered with the Zimbabwe Olympic Committee to strengthen sports governance and offer new opportunities to researchers, athletes, and sport leaders. Through this five-year memorandum of understanding, Brock and the committee will deliver specialized training on safe sport practices, governance, and human resource management, and collaborate on a research project examining governance in Zimbabwe’s regional sport system. “This partnership brings [the committee] access to Brock’s research expertise and training resources that can strengthen sport governance in Zimbabwe,” said Brock Associate Professor of Sport Management Shannon Kerwin. “For Brock, it’s an opportunity to learn from the lived realities of sport in a decolonial context and to engage with leaders shaping sport on the international stage.”
