Sports, Policy, and Politics

Sports, Policy, and Politics

POLITICAL SCIENCE 3172


The students participating in this class should expect to learn the ways in which sport and politics intersect; how sport is both the cause, and result, of political processes; how society's attachment to teams is linked to our identities, both social and political; how sport defines us physically, reflects class, and reproduces shared history. This is primarily a political science course, and no prior knowledge of sport in general, or any sport in particular, is necessary.

Note: This course counts towards either the undergraduate Comparative Politics subfield or the International Politics subfield.
