POLI 187K SC - Race, Nation, and Baseball
This seminar examines the formation of the United States through the lens of baseball. From Dodger Blue to the Cuban national team to the World Baseball Classic, we will consider how race, class, ethnicity, nation, and gender dynamics have determined the business and practice of the game, how baseball itself shapes the contours of race and nation, and how it has been a force for globalizing the political economy. The course will use a variety of material for its texts ranging from historical studies, documentary and feature films, web sites, and visits to baseball games and parks.
Fee: Course fee varies.
Instructor: T. Kim
Course Credit: 1.0
