Sport Media

Undergraduate

The focus of this course is to examine sport with more critical awareness by exploring the lens through which athletics is brought to and consumed by fans. We will look at conventional sport media coverage as well as sport representation in various other forms of media (e.g. novels, movies, music, documentaries, advertisements, social media, etc.) in order to challenge preconceived notions, uncover biases and comprehend the complicated social fabric of which sport is part. (This is an experiential learning course.)
