MASS 135 - Sports, Media and CultureSemester Hours: 3
Sport is the universal form of popular culture. Sport influences our identity positions, consumption choices, and interpersonal relationships. The relationship between sports, values, and media is inextricably bound. While spectator sports serve as an escape from the “real world” and everyday problems, their impact extends beyond mere entertainment. The sports’ complex impact is massive, complete with issues of public health, labor relations, education, race, class, and gender embedded. Sports mirrors the social problems 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.
