Sports and Politics
How does sport reflect major social, economic, and political changes? How have scholars used sporting events as well as athlete performance data to test and advance theories from the social sciences? In this course we will look at both of these questions by examining society and politics through the lens of sports, on the one hand, and using sports data to test theories from political science, psychology and economics, on the other.
