For this assignment, you are required to write a 5 to 7-page paper on the following prompt:

This assignment challenges you to critically analyze a historical event, movement, or figure in sport history and its broader cultural, social, and political significance. You will explore how the chosen topic intersects with themes such as power, identity, race, gender, class, colonialism, and social change. Through critical historical analysis, you will assess the implications of your topic on sport and society, both in its historical context and today. Students will be asked to describe, analyze and critique the historical significance of their chosen topic.

Students will confront the historical sport narratives and the many critically relevant or ignored aspects of these events. Considerations of social, cultural, gendered, environmental, economic and other aspects should be highlighted within these projects, with considerations of who the main stakeholders and beneficiaries of these events are.

Students are encouraged to assess the historical, cultural or political framing of the event. It is important to remember that the aim of this assignment is not necessarily to examine the events on the field, court or ice, but to consider the construction of the stories and narratives being told, and the ways in which these constructions serve to reproduce norms, values and stereotypes throughout history.

Students are encouraged to consider issues of equity, racism, sexism, ableism, transphobia, etc. which are played out and reproduced through these events. Topics must be approved by the instructor. A list of potential topics will be discussed during class. Further instructions and rubric to be handed out in class.
