in sport, including globalisation, Marxism, feminism,
postmodernism and poststructuralism. In the second semester
there is a special focus on race, gender, social identity,
the body, the media and the cultural history of sport
and leisure.

which staff have particular research expertise. In addition.
there are option to select modules from across the sport
