SCS301 Sports, Culture and Society

Sports, Culture and Society explores the social, cultural and political aspects of sport beyond leisure. It critically examines how sports are not only shaped by society but also act as agents of social change. 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.
