MASS 135 - Sports, Media and CultureSemester Hours: 3
Sport is the most universal form of popular culture. Sport influences our identity positions, consumption choices, and interpersonal relationships. The relationship of sports, values and media is inextricably bound. While spectator sports serve as an escape from the “real world” and from everyday problems, their impact extends far from mere entertainment. The sports’ complex impact is massive, complete with issues of public health, labor relations, education, race, class and gender imbedded. Sports mirrors the social issues of the day including race and bias, gender and sexuality, disability, law and ethics, and politics. This course will examine how sports, culture and media converge profoundly influence and reflect society.
