DESCRIPTION
The aim of this module is to develop participants understanding of the role of sport as an important aspect of social structure and cultural behaviour. The module begins by charting the historical background to the development of sport in society with a particular emphasis on Irish and international sports development in the modern era. The links between sport and social structures such as politics, social class, the commercial and business sectors, education and the media will be analysed. There will be a particular focus on how issues such as identity (local and national) social class, race and gender are dealt with and impact on the sports context.
