HWC 217 Women and Sport

During the 50th anniversary year of Title IX this course will seek to explore the historical context for this significant legislation, as well as its sociological, economic, political, cultural, and educational influence. The purpose of this course will be to examine not only the past of women in sport, but the current state of affairs as well as looking ahead to anticipated issues and concerns in the realm of women and sport. The overall purpose of this course is to celebrate the opportunities that have been afforded, while also critically examining what this means for the future. Above all, this course will seek to examine these issues through a Christian perspective, and also in regards to what it means to be the imago dei in this area. 3 hour(s).
