Social Justice in Sport takes the subject of sport as a lens through which to better understand the issues of social justice, identity and inclusion in our modern world. Through an interdisciplinary approach, the curriculum sets out to reconnect individual, communal, and institutional approaches to contemporary sport and the social justice issues that have emerged. Students will explore the topics of social justice, including intersectionality, and advocacy, and the intersecting identities between privilege and oppression. Identities such as race, nationality, sexual orientation, gender, and class will also be examined to help students gain a better understanding of systemic injustice as it is found in modern sports. Students will learn about social justice history in the sports world and discuss what it means in the present. Additionally, the course will address advocacy and leadership, so students leave with practical ideas of how to apply the knowledge gained.
