It explores how sports reflects and shapes cultural norms, power dynamics, and social identities. It examines media, globalisation, deviance, sporting bodies, as well as socialization and identity formation within sporting contexts. It considers the influence of factors such as gender, race, and class on sports as well as power, inequality, and stratification.
