PHE 195-02 - Introductory Special Topic: Women in Sport: Netherlands, Belgium, and America

2 credits (Spring)


Students will examine the holistic impact of athletic participation on women through a variety of lenses. Students will travel to Brussels and Amsterdam and investigate women’s sports in the US as 50 years of Title IX is celebrated. We will consider the impact of sport on aspects of personal identity, socioeconomic status, gender and sexuality, and political activism and nationalism, as well as the impact female athletes have on societal systems and structures. 

Students will be traveling abroad after finals in May, 2023. This course is limited to members of the Women’s volleyball team. Students interested in this course will need to complete an application due October 17th in addition to the normal course registration process. The application materials are available on GrinnellShare: https://grinco.sharepoint.com/sites/InstituteForGlobalEngagement/SitePages/CET.aspx. Students selected to participate in the Course-Embedded Travel program will be required to pay a $415 participation fee (most other required travel expenses will be covered). This fee will be added to the student tuition bill and will be due by the first day of classes. If payment of this fee causes you financial concern, please contact Megan Jones in the Financial Aid Office to discuss loan options to cover this additional cost of attendance.
