Nic Poppe - The Most Important of the Least Important Things: Soccer and Society in Latin America
Soccer has no essential bearing on our human existence, yet it has become central to how we live our lives. To say that it the most popular sport in the world seems almost too obvious. And it is, without a doubt, the most popular and important sport in Latin America. Touching upon the case studies explored in his course Soccer in Latin America, Professor Poppe will discuss intersections of the sport and society in specific historical contexts. In so doing, he hopes to show how something that is ultimately so trivial became so important in Latin America.
