Today was a heavy teaching day. I taught two classes in the morning, and in the early evening I started teaching my honors colloquium, “How Soccer Explains the World.” My sense is that classes are off to a good start. The students seem to be on top of things, especially good at the beginning of the semester before things get hectic with the traveling that students will be doing. Several of my colloquium students know little about soccer other than the basics, so on Wednesday evening we’ll be watching Champions League soccer together at the house. I am hoping that the collective experience will bring some of the students less familiar with the game into the fold. Beyond actually watching soccer and learning more about soccer strategy, I am planning to spend some time exploring with students the idea of how soccer functions as a form of civil religion in places like the UK. Students will read some of the influential literature on the topic (Durkheim on religion; Robert Bellah on American civil religion). We’ll see where this reading might lead our discussion. Alongside this, Franklin Foer’s book How Soccer Explains the World<\/em> offers some vivid examples of the ways that the football world intersects with broader patterns of globalization. Lots to discuss there as well, and that’s not even talking about the experience of watching actual football. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
