Master’s student and Paralympic medallist Stephanie Dixon has been awarded the Lyle Makosky Values and Ethics in Sport Fund. Dixon’s thesis will relate athletes’ experiences of reporting maltreatment in sport, focusing on the stories of people from marginalized groups. The scholarship will support the development of a trauma-informed methodology for this work.

KPE graduate Bren Kugamoorthy received the 2022 Ludwik and Estelle Jus Memorial Human Rights Prize in the emerging leader category. Part of the U of T Awards of Excellence, the prize recognized Kugamoorthy’s antiracism advocacy and his efforts to create welcoming spaces for under-represented and marginalized communities within KPE and across the university.

KPE doctoral student Joseph Manzone received the Franklin Henry Young Scientist Award from the Canadian Society for Psychomotor Learning and Sport Psychology. Manzone’s work looks at possible interactions between how we see something and how we plan and execute actions related to what we see. He seeks to understand whether our plans to interact with the world may influence how we see.
