New course explores links between sport industry, Indigenous resurgence – Brock U
November 28, 2024
Brock University is changing the game with a course that explores the power of Indigenous sport and resurgence.
The Faculty of Applied Health Sciences will introduce SPMA 3V95: Sport, Community and Indigenous Resurgence as part of its Sport Management program in the Winter Term.
The course examines the relationship between the sport industry and Indigenous resurgence, offering a critical analysis of sport as both a colonial force and a space for Indigenous self-determination.
“The story of Indigenous sport in Canada does not simply end with notions of ‘reconciliation,’” says Taylor McKee, an Assistant Professor of Sport Management and creator of the course. “Indigenous sport is where we see resurgence, a reclaiming of Indigenous self-determination in the face of colonial structures.”
