But few of us pause to think about the larger questions of money, politics, race, sex, culture, and commercialization that surround sports everywhere. This course draws on the tools of anthropology, sociology, history, and other disciplines to give you new perspectives on the games we watch and play.  It&#8217;s the new and improved version of Professor Orin Starn&#8217;s original &#8220;Sports and Society&#8221; for Coursera, which drew more than 40,000 students.  We will focus on both popular sports like soccer (or \u201cfootball,\u201d as anyone outside America calls it), basketball, and baseball, and also lesser-known ones like mountain-climbing and fishing.  You will never watch or think about sports in the same way again.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">Price: Enroll For Free!<\/h2>\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-very-light-gray-color has-background has-vivid-red-background-color\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coursera.org\/learn\/sports-society\">View Class<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em><strong>Language:<\/strong> <\/em>English<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em><strong>Subtitles<\/strong>: <\/em>English<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"background-color:#496d89\" class=\"has-text-color has-background has-text-align-center has-very-light-gray-color\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coursera.org\/learn\/sports-society\">Sports and Society<strong> &#8211; Duke University<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Description Sports play a giant role in contemporary society worldwide.
