    Description
    This kinesiology course explores sports and the lives and contributions of athletes from diverse gender, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds through how they are represented in sports-related films. Students also consider how human movement, the human body, and healthy lifestyles are represented on screen, as well as the influence of sports culture in Western and non-Western contexts.
