SPORTS AND SOCIETY Honors

SPORTS AND SOCIETY  Honors 13417 5 credits

This class is about sports and politics, and how often those two seemingly independent worlds are actually one in the same. You should be prepared to dive deep into political analyses while also enjoying amazing highlights. And if we do this right, you’ll never again see sports as simple entertainment, but view it through the lens of social impact. This class will sharply focus on the nexus where sports and society meet - or, more often - collide, and critically view their governing politics before, during, and after these crossovers. Although the allure of the word “sports” may have drawn you to this class, we will be tuning in more to what happens when the ball goes “out of bounds” - proverbially speaking.
