"Football in America" with Katherine Walden
American Studies
American Studies
Since the late 19th century, football has occupied an important place for those wishing to define and understand America. And Notre Dame football plays a central role in that story — the mythic proportions of the University’s football program cast a long shadow on the institution’s history, cultural significance, and traditions. This course focuses on Notre Dame football history as an entry point into larger questions about the cultural, historical, and social significance of football in the United States.
Alumni, friends, prospective students and their parents, and anyone else on campus are welcome to come participate in these explorations of fascinating topics.
