Phd: 'learning and Awareness in Sports Through Ai
6 dagen geleden
**Your job**:
The disclosure of several high-profile cases of child sexual abuse in sports around the world has drawn renewed public attention to the sports setting as a conducive context for interpersonal violence against children. Interpersonal violence against and between children has a major impact on children’s well-being. However, it does not happen in a vacuum; it often includes many bystanders (besides the perpetrators and victims) who could potentially intervene. Effective bystander interventions can turn individuals at sports clubs into “moral exemplars”. Moral exemplars are potential future bystanders who are equipped to demonstrate moral behaviour in the face of difficulty, as such they are more likely to intervene in harmful situations and show perpetrators how their intended or unintended behaviours cause harm.
Current research indicates that for securing safe sports environments and fostering bystander behaviour at grassroots sports clubs two aspects are crucial to develop:
- teaching and educating young athletes, trainers, coaches and board members about interpersonal violence, bystander behaviour and the measures they can take to create safe sports environments in their club;
- investing in and educate safeguarding officers at the club level to deal with cases of interpersonal violence in a transparent, neutral, and trauma-sensitive manner.
This PhD proposal aims to be of direct value to the sports sector by developing and testing the impact of interventions, e.g.:
- a serious game based on lived experiences of victims of interpersonal violence in sports to discuss topics of interpersonal violence, bystanders, and creating safe sports environments and/or;
- an AI-operated Dialogue Trainer which allows safeguarding officers to train, through experiential and reflective learning, their skills in engaging with both victims and perpetrators of interpersonal violence in sports in a trauma-sensitive manner.
The initial work plan for the PhD is stated below. You will collaborate with an enthusiastic research team of internationally recognised scientific experts and a consortium of relevant societal partners. You will have the opportunity to be trained and equipped to become a modern scholar under Utrecht University’s TRIPLE system.
Your work will address the following preliminary research objectives. You will have the opportunity to refine these objectives, together with the research team, based on your interests and expertise:
- By taking a human-centric perspective and diving into lived experiences, you will explore how to ensure safe sports environments for children and what is demanded from athletes, trainers, coaches, and board members in securing this.
- You will delve into the experiences of safeguarding officers to understand the dynamics they face when dealing with cases of interpersonal violence at grassroots sports clubs.
- You will design, develop, and test with experts and practitioners interventions such as, a serious game to foster learning and awareness about interpersonal violence and pro-social bystander behaviour in sports environments, and/or an AI-operated Dialogue Trainer to teach safeguarding officers how they can engage with both victims and (alleged) perpetrators of interpersonal violence at grassroots sports clubs in a trauma
- and violence-informed manner.
Based on your research, you will (co-)author papers to be presented at (inter)national scientific conferences and submitted to international refereed journals, resulting in a PhD dissertation. Additionally, you will contribute to organising symposia, webinars, and workshops to disseminate research results to the wider public.
You will participate in the Graduate School of the Faculty of Law, Economics and Governance (LEG) and the PhD programme of the Netherlands Institute of Governance (NIG). Strengths of the USG PhD programme are a good support and coaching structure, as well as a diverse offer in terms of training and education opportunities to develop yourself into the scholar that you want to be. You will be involved in USG’s research communities and benefit from its interdisciplinary environment.
