A History of Sport Futures

Three credits · Undergraduate

The interplay between imagination and freedom/liberation defines histories of sport. Since the 19 century, sport and sport spaces have informed blueprints for survival and resistance, offering a window to novel realities, and functioning as a transformative technology. This course invites students to consider the movements and narratives that have, historically, inspired radical sport futures. Students will examine stories of segregated leagues, sport myths, and more phenomena to explore the possibilities within the promise of sport. Credit will be granted for only one of HKIN 358 or 398(2025-2026). Three credits.
