| Department: | Gender Studies |
| Description: | HIS-340-01=GEN-324-01 Throughout history, sport has been an expression and a reflection of human conflict and aggression and a critical tool for teaching the virtues of manliness and defining masculinity. In America, sport has often been associated with war-preparing good soldiers-the better the athlete the better the soldier, while making boys into men. This course will explore the connection between sports, war and masculinity. It will examine and interpret the role of sports in America since the colonial era, and consider how sports have created an ideal of American masculinity that has contributed to American foreign policy goals. This is a course in American social and cultural history and will explore issues of gender, race, and class. It is also a course in American foreign policy and American militarism and will examine the relationship between sports, war, and masculinity within the geopolitical context of military conflict.
