KHP684 - DIVERSITY IN SPORT & FITNESS ORGANIZATIONS

College of Education

Credits: 3

This course offers an examination of the increasingly prominent diversity-related issues in sport organizations. With references to policy, theoretical frameworks, and a growing body of social science literature, students will explore such issues as, but are not limited to, race/ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and disability and the various challenges that have emerged in sport organizations. These information exchanges will ultimately lead us to consider the role of key sport leaders and their strategies (or lack thereof) to promote and effectively maximize the benefits of a diverse workforce.
