  Liz Wilkinson

This course is focused on the multiplicities of narrative that are sport, with a special emphasis on American authors and U.S. sports journalism. Sports by definition are stories that literally play out in front of us: stories that involve conflict – conflict within the self, conflict in relationships, conflict against the elements, and, if we believe it possible, conflict with the supernatural. Through sports literature, students will thoughtfully investigate human interactions: the best we have to offer and sometimes the worst. Sports literature, whether that be fiction, non-fiction, drama, or poetry, asks us to consider what is just and what is unjust -- and how we discern which is which. Analytical and creative non-fiction writing assignments put students in thoughtful conversation with the ways that race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, class, disability, or other underrepresented or marginalized positions affect our engagement with sports and our world. Prerequisites: ENGL 121 or 190, or transfer equivalent.
