SP6052 - Managing Sport Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Sustainability

The taught content will be delivered and provided in a variety of formats, and you will be able to access materials on the eLP. There will be

the opportunity to work in smaller groups with discipline specific members of staff who will facilitate context driven discussion and learning. In

weekly sessions with tutors and in students’ own learning time, students will be provided with real-world sport industry case studies and

problems seeking resolution as per the themes of each week. Students are encouraged to develop their own understanding and learning with

the support of materials offered and by actively seeking relevant materials to the weekly themes to bring to classroom discussion. Students

will be asked to apply ideas from these weekly reading for class debate and make connections between their reading and potential

resolutions to topical issues. At this level (and so as to prepare students for their summative assessment), tutors will take a facilitatory, rather

than tutor-led approach.

Module information, assessment requirements and expectations, and important module announcements will be made through the eLP.

Material to support your learning will be uploaded in advance of sessions. You will be provided with content verbally and guided through tasks

during timetabled sessions. A dedicated assessment session will afford you the opportunity to ask assessment related questions in class. The

Module Leader is there to support you with any queries that you may have about the module content, and all staff members provide tutorial

time outside of class time. Module tutors will provide you with the necessary information on how to arrange a tutorial. You will have the

opportunity to receive formative feedback on your development during the module, and you will receive feedback on summative work to help

you identify areas of strength and areas for development. There will be the opportunity to discuss your feedback with a member of staff during

a tutorial. There is also further academic skills support available from the University Library services. Additionally, staff will actively encourage

and implement opportunities for regular peer-peer support such as smaller working groups to allow students time and opportunity to

familiarise themselves with small-group working appropriate to their summative assessment. Staff will also encourage students to use

platforms for sharing ideas and reflections and materials such as Sharepoint, Teams and BB Collaborate.

All modules at Northumbria include a range of reading materials that students are expected to engage with. Online reading lists (provided after enrolment) give you access to your reading material for your modules. The Library works in partnership with your module tutors to ensure you have access to the material that you need.

Have you ever wondered what it really means to be equitable, inclusive, diverse and sustainable in our personal and professional lives? Have

you considered how you will adopt fair and balanced practices as a human being as well as an employee or manager in your chosen field?

We all have a responsibility to ensure we create working environments that embed and thrive on an inclusive culture – one where diversity is

embraced and celebrated. But what does this mean? This module will encourage you to critically reflect on our own practices, values and

assumptions and what they mean for equity and inclusion. We will have difficult but rewarding conversations about unconscious biases and

othering, political correctness and the influence we all have on being able to re-shape our and others’ futures. Most importantly, the module

will provide you with the knowledge to ensure that we continue to stand-up and challenge the many inequalities that exist in society
