SPHE325 - Gender Issues in Sports
View Academic Calendar
Students in this course will examine how gender and sexuality are impacted within sport and sports organizations. The relationship between sexuality, masculinity, femininity and sport has been a slow evolving process throughout history. This course is broken down into three main topics: masculinity in sport, media representation in sport, and transgressing femininities in sport. The visibility of professional athletes in the media has opened doors of opportunity for both male and female athletes. Students will discuss the equality of sports coverage based on gender along with career opportunity in sports organizations. The ratio of male to female athletic administrators is severely lopsided even in this modern era. This course will examine why and what the future holds for gender issues in sport.
