My hippie school has come through for me big time. This will be how I end my undergraduate education.
Baseball: More Than a Game
Spring quarter
Faculty: Oscar Soule, Steve Bray
Enrollment: 48
Special Expenses: $25$35 in ticket costs for event fees.
This program will explore the impact of the game of baseball on society and culture in the United States and on the imagination through literature, film and art. It also will view the increasing global impact of baseball, especially in Latin America and Japan, as well as the ever-increasing ethic diversity of baseball within the major leagues. We will observe how baseball has served an important national role as a force of tradition and an agent for change. Regarded as the national pastime, it has gradually included the participation of blacks and women. In order to understand the full impact of baseball on society, and as inspiration for fans, writers and artists, students will observe the game itself in addition to examining its history. Workshops will focus on writing, mathematics and art. This program is designed primarily to appeal to students who are interested in viewing baseball as a multicultural game, which has an impact and appeal far beyond the playing field.
Credit awarded in: social and cultural history, business and labor relations, art and media studies, sport and society, and writing.
Total: 16 credits.
