The Cultural Social Economic History Of Football

AY2017/2018 Semester 1

This course will explore the connections between football - particularly its most `globalised' forms - and global political, economic and cultural power relations. The course combines thematic analysis and national case studies that invite connections across boundaries of time and space. It explores the game's relationship with issues ranging from economic, social, and political change as well as issues of religion, migration, gender and technology.
