| Abstract | "This book introduces the fundamentals of sport sociology and social issues in sport for students of PE and coaching. It provides an accessible, jargon-free foundation for understanding the relationships between sport, education and wider society that puts into context the reader's applied studies in PE and coaching. Drawing on cutting-edge research, the book examines core topics in the study of sport and society, including the origins of sport, sport education, sport as business, commodification, globalisation, sport and health, sport and the media, gender, migration, and indigenous people in sport. Throughout the book, in-depth 'commentary' pieces look closely at particular pieces of research that illustrate the sociological themes being examined, from the impact of sport media on school children to the effects of hegemonic masculinity in rugby. This book is invaluable reading for any course on sport and society, physical education, sports coaching or sport development"-- Provided by publisher. |
