This week you need not post your blog publicly. I would like you to use the following questions as a guide to the last four readings assigned. Some of them are a bit more complicated than others but I think they are all really interesting. Type your answers to the questions and bring in a hard copy for me to next week's class. Next week's lecture we will begin by finishing up the last ten minutes of the video as it concludes by discussing the absurdity of colorblindness in a structurally and historically racially stratified society. In our lecture we will discuss structural inequities in sport as well as racial representation in sport through the media. These readings touch on all of these themes to a degree, but also push us to consider how identities, even racial ones are a bit unstable and how we often do not have control over other people's perceptions, reactions to, and appropriations of identities.
