|
Credits
3.00
This course examines the profound influence sports has on social life in Canada and in the global community. A number of theoretical perspectives will be utilized to analyze the impact of sports on societies. Inequalities (gender, social class, ethnicity, age, etc.) and deviances (illicit drugs, violence, sexual exploitation, gambling, etc.) in the context of sports will be the primary focus of the course. The impact of sports on various social institutions (family, education, economy, polity, religion, health care) also will be analyzed in detail. While the main emphasis is on North American society, the growing significance of sports in the global context also will be discussed. Prerequisite: SOCY 100
