Sociology 90W Senior Seminar

In the field of Sociology, sport and social cohesion may not be correlated with another. The Sociology of sport had been a neglected field, because sport isn’t valued as a means to study society. The problem that plagues this field is that it focuses too much on the macro level, like the politics and economics of sport associations. By looking through sport at the micro level, I hope to grasp the cultural qualities that sport possesses, such as ritual and social cohesion.
