Course description

Have you ever been curious about the cultures that underlie your passions? In this class, we will study the world around you and the cultures that make up our play, work, relationships, and sense of self. Whatever your passions are - stories, natural environment, activism, food, film, or history - you can find a place for it in Culture & Community. The course will begin with an exploration of pressing topics, then transition into researching contemporary issues and problems-largely be determined by student interest. Our course will culminate with individual multi-modal research projects where you put your cultural literacy and research skills to the test.

Section information

From the Roman Colosseum to the modern football pitch, sport has historically played a role in human experience and culture. In this course we will look at early/historical sport, social issues, sports entertainment, youth and professional athletics, and much more as we build critical reading and research strategies, develop critical and compelling research projects, and learn to analyze cultural phenomena through the lens of sports. If you are interested in athletics, media, marketing, gender studies, human culture, and/or social issues and social change, this class is for you!"
