Physical Education & Sport Studies

A subject-level introduction to library research in topics related to physical education and sports studies. Course-specific guides are nested on the left-hand side of the page.

PED 161 - Sport and Society

Your assignment:

  • pick a current controversy in sport (topic must be approved by your instructor).
  • write a 3 page paper plus a title page and a bibliography.

As of our meeting (2/20/2025), this assignment could go in many different directions!  At this point, my first recommendation is that you think about topics that interest you - either from your own experience, or from material covered in class.  AVOID THE TEMPTATION TO RECYCLE A HIGH SCHOOL PAPER....

College Research, summarized

For an assignment like this, you are NOT writing a book report.  You are picking a topic you like, learning more about it, making new connections, and sharing that learning with others.
