Description
The Impact of Sports on American Culture
One Day University presents a series of video lectures recorded in real-time from some of the top minds in the United States. Given by award-winning professors and experts in their field, these recorded lectures dive deep into the worlds of religion, government, literature, and social justice.
How much has American society changed since the 1960s? And how do you gauge the extent of this change? In this session, we will try to answer these questions by exploring a few of the more significant and pivotal moments in American history through the prism of sports. We will look beyond competitive outcomes on the fields of play--who won, who lost, and by how much?--and instead will focus on what these moments can reveal about the struggles for racial justice and gender equality in our nation.
Throughout our session, we will consider the ways sports--a marathon, a college football game, a prizefight, a tennis match--have reflected larger trends in American life as well as influenced American history and the nation we occupy today. Whether the impact of sports on American culture has been positive or negative is another question we will consider.
