Description

This course examines the intersections between sports and politics - for good and for bad - primarily in the American case. It examines how questions of identity, solidarity, difference, opportunity, power, subjugation, social justice, the law, development, violence, race, gender, sexual orientation, sexual identity, pay, and labor practices play out in American politics, public policy, and sports culture. It is a course for those who love sports but hate politics, those who love politics and hate sports, those who love sports and politics, and all derivations in between.

This course is closed for registration.
