ZS 2023: Sport in World History (Dr. Bruce Berglund, Augsburg University, Minneapolis, USA)
Course aims and outline:
This course will explore the political, social, economic, and cultural changes of the last two
centuries, around the world, by studying the development of modern sports. In looking at
the histories of team sports, athletics organizations, and the Olympic movement, we see
themes of sectarian and ethnic division, class conflict, imperialism, racism, gender roles,
commercialism and economic globalization, and the influence of political ideology. In this
course, we will address these issues by looking at the development of modern sports in
Europe and North America, their spread to different world regions, and the creation of our
current, global sports market. Throughout the course, there will be discussion of how sport
in Habsburg Bohemia, the First Czechoslovak Republic, socialist Czechoslovakia, and the
Czech Republic connects to larger global developments.
