SOC 320 - Sport, Race, and Justice

3 Credits
Offered periodically or as needed
This class will look at sport as a microcosm of greater social phenomenon. How do participants and communities make sense of their world through sport? What are the ways in which power is structured and acted out in sport? What are the politics of justice in sport? The class material will engage with how the categories of race, gender, and sexuality are constructed, challenged, negotiated, and contested through sport. Instead of seeing any of these as separate categories, we will look at the intersections of these categories and how power is conjured up in the crevices.
