HSEM3084H: Analysis of the Intersection of Communication and Sport

This course is designed to explore in depth the relationship between communication and sport. We will examine theories of communication and connect them to sport. This course will not be a discussion of sport for sport’s sake, but instead ask important questions about how we use sports as a means to create community, define gender and race, and promote or refute political ideologies, among other things. Readings will examine the interrelationship of sports and these critical topics. The purpose is to ask questions that help illuminate the symbolic nature of sports in our or any culture.
