In addition, the study of sport can serve as a method for elucidating complex theoretical or empirical processes, regardless of sociological field. Materials contained in this guide cater to long-time Sociology of Sport instructors, first timers, and even to instructors of non-explicit Sociology of Sport courses. Instructors who have taught Sociology of Sport for several years will find novel readings, films, and activities from the new contributors’ entries. New instructors of Sociology of Sport can rely onthe time tested organization, topics, and lessons provided in the full syllabi. Those teaching other sociology courses will find several "stand-alone" readings, lessons, and assignments. There are separate step-by-step instructions on conducting innovative and effective activities. The syllabi contain sections covering the major topics in the Sociology of Sport; including sections on theoretical underpinnings, youth and sports, race, and gender. Most of the syllabi are then rounded out with lessons examining media, globalization, deviance, collegiate sports, or professional sport.}, journal={TRAILS: Teaching Resources and Innovations Library for Sociology}, author={Rodgers, Katie and Cribbs, Sarah}, year={2010}, month={Apr.} }
