Readings:Gonzalez, Mike, and Lindsey Burke. National Review, October 5, 2020. Lecture:
Introduction
Background
We’re going to start off with a combination of the abstract and the very real with this class. The first is going to be understanding critical/cultural theory and how it does and doesn’t apply to women and sports. This is not critical race theory, but it’s a cousin, and we’ll discuss both the theory and criticisms and limitations to it. The much more real is going to be working together to learn about your experiences and beliefs about women, sports, and media.
Activity
Weekly reflection: Read “Critiquing Critics,” Gonzales and Burke on critical theory, and Jemele Hill’s piece on Naomi Osaka, watch Dr. Suggs’ lecture, and take the quiz. Then think of another news story, be it about an accomplishment involving women in sports or a controversy, and write a short post in the 02_theory_reflection channel discussing what that story tells you about society and culture right now.
Classes
Introduction to the class, to sports media, and using framing and theory to understand positions people take on women, sports, and media.
Assignment
To be discussed on the first day.
