About this subject
From Olympic stadiums to local footy fields, sport is more than just a game, it is a powerful lens through which we can understand identity, politics, and culture.

We’ll dive into the heritage of iconic sports and events—from AFL and swimming in Australia to football in South America and Africa, yoga in India and across the British empire, as well as the ancient and modern Olympic movement. Along the way, we’ll examine how sport is remembered, celebrated, and contested in public spaces and the media. You’ll develop your research and communication skills while exploring the cultural significance of sport in diverse contexts.
