Sport & society is about all areas where sport overlaps with money, power, politics and history. It can range from Saudi Arabia’s entry into the world of sports to the costs of holding major sporting events in Denmark or gambling addiction as a social problem.
The teacher on the subject is Jesper Banke, who is a journalist with a special interest in sports’ contact surfaces with the society that surrounds it.
The subject is an extension of the sports journalism class, but can also be chosen by other students.
