What this paper is about

Edit What this paper is about Content
In this paper, students will gain an introduction to sociological understandings of sport and movement cultures. They will develop new ways of critically thinking about the important role sport plays in contemporary society, including the economy, politics, tourism, media, and our sense of identity, belonging and community. Students will be introduced to a range of sociological concepts--including historical, sociological, social psychological, and philosophical--from a sport development perspective, and learn how to apply these to local, national and international sporting contexts.
