ANT 103 - SPORTS, CULTURE, AND SOCIETY

College of Arts and Sciences

Credit(s): 3

From little league baseball to the world of college and professional sports and the numerous ESPN channels that track them, it is clear that sports play a significant role in our culture and society and yet, we often take for granted this significance. This course introduces students to the anthropology of sports through an examination of the rituals, political and economic dimensions, and social and cultural meanings of sports from around the globe in both the past and the present.

Meets UK Core: Intellectual Inquiry in the Social Sciences.
Approved for Distance Learning.
