This unit involves the study of sport in 澳大利亚n culture, exploring 澳大利亚's historical sporting context through to its importance in today's 澳大利亚n society. As a sports sociology unit, the course is focused on the ways sports are entangled in social, 文化, 政治, and economic forces that operate within and across the micro, 内消旋, and macro levels of 澳大利亚n society. It addresses some of the ways individuals are involved in sports organisations and activities, including our participation in sport for purposes of recreation and leisure, self-expression and personal fulfillment. The course also foregrounds the importance of spectatorship and the consumption of sports as entertainment commodities. The course deals with sports and sports culture as sites that enable the analysis of social issues, 结构, and forms of inequality. This includes exploring sport in 澳大利亚 in terms of social norms, 角色, and power relations, including all the complex social dynamics that characterise forms of social stratification (e.g., by race, class, and gender).
