Sports, Race, and Gender
From Celtics vs. Lakers, Red Sox vs. Yankees, UNC vs. Duke, to Iowa vs. LSU, sports rivalries activate us. Who do you root for? Sports bring us ecstasy and suffering. They provide a calendar to organize our lives; Spring Training, March Madness, Super Bowl Sunday. Because of their tremendous hold on our individual and collective psyches, sports offer a unique path into studying many of the central conflicts of American society. In this class, we will focus on the interplay between race, gender, and sports. What role have sports played in African Americans’ ongoing fights for Civil Rights? How has Title IX impacted female athletes’ quest for equality? Does success on the field translate to meaningful advances for Black athletes? In a society which likes to claim that women have similar professional opportunities to men, how do you explain the fact that the NBA rookie minimum salary is $898,310 while the WNBA rookie minimum is $58,000?
