This interdisciplinary course fosters critical thinking about the nature, role, activity and influence of sports in US and global popular culture.  It explores multiple relationships between sport and society-structural, cultural, economic, social, political, moral-at a range of scales: individual, small group, organizational, geographical, and institutional. Students will consider the connection between sports and concepts like race, gender, class, ideology, power (and more), and assess their way of thinking and talking about sports.
