CESO 0903 - Scholar-Athlete: Sport and Society

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

Participants in sports, athletes and fans alike, are more than just players in an American past time or a competition. Rather, they are part of a powerful social vehicle that demonstrates "inherent fundamental truths" central to the American identity. For example, this course will consider how sport perpetuates cultural values embedded in masculinity, with implications that far supersede the social arena of sport itself. Throughout the week, we will attempt to explain how the playing of sports in America both legitimizes and defines basic social ideologies (i.e. gender, sexuality, ethnicity) and chief social institutions (i.e. military, religion, education).
