HI267: Sport in the Modern World (Winter 2027)
About The Position
In the joy of a great play—made or watched—sport can seem outside of time and history. But as an aspect of culture sport can act as a powerful lens through which to study various times, people, and places in the past. Through an examination of major sports and sports movements focused on Canada and the United States during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries (such as hockey, baseball, football, boxing, and the Olympic Games), this course explores major themes and topics that have been central to the modern world, including nationalism and international relations; youth and education; violence; colonialism and postcolonialism; gender and sexuality; the pursuit of civil and Indigenous rights; the growth of cities; the advent and spread of mass communication; and work and leisure from industrialism to the age of globalization.
