SOC 383 - Sport and Society
This course will serve as an investigation into the institution of organized sport from a sociological perspective. The course follows a common approach to the sociology of sports by not only viewing sport as a microcosm of society, but also as a vehicle where society is created, reproduced, and changed, as sports are social constructions and thus arenas for the study of sociological processes. Thus, the focus of the course will be upon “the structure, processes, and problems of sport as an institutionalized social system.” Common sociological concepts such as stratification, norms, mobility, violence, and social structure that are evidenced in athletics will be examined. 3 credits
