The purpose of this course is to teach students to think critically about sport in contemporary society. Students will be introduced to a wide range of sporting ‘issues’, such as violence, cheating, doping, and corruption as well as broad sociological themes that can be examined using sport as a lens to view society, such as social class, gender, and racial inequality. Students will be encouraged to question the typical ‘positive’ understandings of sport and engage critically with discussions centred on sporting ideologies, e.g. playing through pain, winning at all costs, masculinity, etc. Mainstream theoretical frameworks will be introduced and applied to shed light on aspects of sport often hidden from view. The main goal is to challenge the idea of sport as an innocuous and unimportant leisure pursuit, to consider its social, cultural, political and economic significance, and its rise to significance, in our present globalized and commercialized society. This course will incorporate opportunities for experiential learning through cooperative learning techniques, in-class demonstrations, and in-class/online discussions.
