The primary mission of the International Centre for Olympic Studies at Western University is the generation and dissemination of academic scholarship focused specifically on the socio-cultural study of the Olympic Games and the Olympic Movement.
As part of Western's Homecoming activities, ICOS is launching the new Western Mustangs Athletic Alumni Lecture Series. This inaugural event will feature Scott Russell (BA’80, BEd’81, MA’85), award-winning broadcaster and host from CBC Sports.
In honour of our founding director, Professor Robert K. Barney, we are pleased to announce a new ICOS lecture series in his name. The first lecture will be given by Dr. Barney on October 3rd, 2022, on the topic of the history of the role of Howard Crocker (from the ICOS Crocker Lecture Series initiated by Dr. Barney) in the building of Thames Hall at Western University to celebrate the new renovations at Thames Hall, the home of the School of Kinesiology.
