Sport is a powerful social, cultural, political, and economic force in the United States. In this course, we’ll use sport as a fun and familiar way to explore big questions about our society. Why is sport so deeply embedded in high schools and colleges? Why do fans feel such strong connections to the teams they follow—so strong that they say “we won” when they didn’t play the game? What do inequities in sport reveal about inequity in society more broadly?

Through class discussions and interactive learning activities, we’ll explore these questions together while building community with fellow athletes, sport fans, or both!
