WLLC 307 The Universal Language of Sport/Sport as a Unifying Force in Europe
Sports represent a major factor in American and European cultures. In this course, students will learn about all aspects of European sport: the most popular sports, the most important clubs, the most inspiring athletes, the most influential rivalries, and the importance of the national and continental leagues. Students will also study the historical events that have created the environment in which modern sports are played in Europe. A major factor that distinguishes European sport from U.S. sport is the aspect of internationalization and how modern sport has helped to unify a continent that has been difficult to unify historically. Students will analyze the role and the effectiveness sports play in the European unification process.
