Global Soccer:History/Data
This course will utilize methodologies drawn from history and data analytics to investigate soccer as a global phenomenon. Students will explore soccer history beginning in 1850 and develop the necessary coding skins to work in the R programming language. Utilizing these skills and, ideally, conducting some research in a language other than English, students will collaborate to produce detailed reports on the history and culture of soccer in individual countries around the world.
