Title: | The Ball is in Y(Our) Court : Social Change Through and Beyond Sport |
Authors: | Students of KNPE 473 at Queen's University Fall 2020 |
Keywords: | Sport and Culture Sociology |
Issue Date: | 2020 |
Abstract: | The hope of this book is to drive discussions and empower ourselves and others to think critically about structures and normative beliefs within our current society. Through discussions and critical thinking, advocates are born, and protests emerge. The power to change lies within our current generation. A diverse education is the driving factor to making this shift possible. Working on this book we realized the multitude of issues we as a society are not exposed to because of how our schooling system is structured. We think that education systems need to change! Our aim was for this book to brings awareness to different issues that are prevalent in society today. We hope to explain the roots of many of these issues and why we need to create change. We hope you can engage with this material and be able to think about these issues from a different perspective in your everyday life. This textbook was created so we can all reflect on society. We wanted to use sport as a lens to learn about bigger social issues. We hope the chapters provide you with some of the context for these issues and that they leave you wondering how you can create social change in your life to help create a more equal society. |
