| Course Section Number: | FRT-101-07 |
| Department: | Freshman Tutorial |
| Description: | While often celebrated as a pastime, baseball serves as a lens for examining globalization, migration, and power. This course examines the racial and economic forces driving the talent pipelines that connect Latin America and East Asia to American stadiums, exploring how these movements reflect global power structures. By evaluating the collision of social identity and market forces, and pairing these cases with an exploration of the Moneyball revolution, students will develop data literacy and critical thinking skills. The course will hone students' essential skills through a multi-stage writing process and seminar discussion, helping build the intellectual confidence and peer support networks necessary for long-term success in a liberal arts environment. |
