Senior Capstone in Communication: Sports, Culture, and Communication

4-None

This course will allow us to explore together the ways in which sports has become an integral part of our (and other) cultures and the variable roles of communication within that. Topics include: parent-child-coach dynamics; gender, race, national, organizational, and intergenerational issues; and the ways different media report on and construct our views of various sports and their relationships to society. Ultimately, we will move to constructing a new applied communication model of sports and leisure practices.
