Uses sports as a cultural text in order to examine larger critical debates around race, gender, class, nationalism, fandom, consumerism, amongst other topics. While considering these debates in the broader American context, this class will particularly examine the cultural politics of sports within Asian America.

Super informative. Lots of readings w/ specific versions of books you need, but the heavy stuff is at the start of term when you aren't as busy. Graded on 2 exams (3 short essays each) and section participation w/ mini quizzes each week in section but based on completion not quality. Allowed a 2-sided 8x11in note page on exams. Great for GE

i didn't enjoy the course. The exams are predictable, you can get a good score as long as you know how to write the themes he talks about in lectures in your exam essays and what should be put in the cheat sheet (very important). It's hard to follow his lectures (for me as a non-native student). i got an A but it's definitely a painful A.

Graded by Section Attendance/Participation, Midterm, Final (each 3 short answer ques). Readings were not as disturbing as people are making them out to be. Nuanced content, interesting to learn about. Only issue is Pandya would say he would post lectures after Wed. lectures, but would post them inconsistently; into the next week when we moved on
