    Students review the current and past sports-related cultural and historical issues in society. They will explore research in various topics such as race and gender issues, sports for different populations, and how sports have shaped both western and non-western cultures' ideologies and values. Various levels of participation will be discussed, from elementary school and recreational participation to professional sports. Students will analyze the influence and role of sports and sports media based on gender, ethnicity and socio-economic standing.
