SCOM 464. Communication, Culture and Sports

3.00
This course examines the interrelationship between communication, culture and sports in today’s society and how that interrelationship reinforces social values and norms, and the impact of cultural identification of class, race, and gender in connecting sports values with cultural values. Drawing on theories of rhetoric and social criticism, students will study several critical approaches to sports and public discourse and will apply those approaches to sports coverage and organizations. Prerequisite: Junior or senior standing.
