This course employs a sociological perspective to interrogate the long, arduous, and challenging relationship that marginalized athletes face in their attempt to play individual and team sports in America. Using an intersectional framework, this course examines the experiences of African American athletes, women, sexual minorities and others at the high school, college and professional levels and reveals the ways in which race, class, and gender shape athletic opportunities and reinforce (or not) existing inequalities.
