DESCRIPTION
Sports is a major site of cultural and economic activity in contemporary society. This course will study the development of sports since the 19th century in relation to shifting media dynamics from the dominance of print media to the rise of digital media technologies, including social media. Focus will be on the intersection of sports with issues of race and gender, both in contemporary and historical contexts. Sports and politics will be covered in relation to concepts of nationalism in West Germany and the U.S. Civil Rights movement.
