It’s funny you say that. This class will actually be a critical examination of the recent “cultural turn” in sports history which attempts to deconstruct sports and reduce them down to nothing more than power structures of race, class, and gender.
I take the approach that there is something irreducibly special about “sports”—something that gets to the heart of the human spirit.
So as I’ve told my students in other sports-related history courses, my goal is for them to love the game even more by the time we are through.
