CHLT 035 PZ -Chicanx/Latinx Sporting Hist

Institution: Pitzer

Description: Chicanx/Latinx Sporting Histories This course focuses on the historical sporting contributions of Chicanx/Latinx peoples. Starting in the early 20th century, this class will also examine the sociocultural and political dimensions of sport and the ways in which Chicanx/Latinx people have used sport to disrupt dominant understandings of race, nation, gender, and sexuality overtime. Together, we will explore sport as they intersect with US imperialism, cultural hegemony, immigration regimes, global wars, Good Neighbor Policy, color line, and Americanization efforts. How does sport reinforce and challenge social hierarchies? What is the role of sport in Chicanx/Latinx experiences? Can sport provide new visions for a more just future?
