ASSISTANTSHIPS: Miami University (Ohio)
The Graduate Program in the Department of Physical Education, Health and Sport Studies at Miami University is accepting applications for admission into the sport organization concentration with a Master's of Science in Sport Studies. Graduate Assistantships are available. Review of applications will begin February 1, 2006.
For more information contact: Mary McDonald at mcdonamg@muohio.edu or visit the graduate program web site at:
http://www.units.muohio.edu/eap/departments/phe/gradadmissions.htm.
Sport Organization Program Concentration
The sport organization program is designed to provide breadth and depth of knowledge concerning how play, games, and sport relate to general features of social organization and social relations, and thereby, to gain comprehensive insights into the institutional arrangements and cultural values of society. The major premise is that play, games, and sports are culturally central to the life experiences of social classes and status groups in our society and to the power relationships that are characteristic of the interactions between them. Coursework provides opportunities for students to evaluate how social class, ethnicity, race and gender contour our enculturation into and via play, games and sport. It also enables students to understand the historical development of contemporary sporting practices. The content of the courses is not just descriptive; rather, it is critical and evaluative.
Graduate Assistantships
Graduate teaching assistantships are available in the PHS Department. These assistantships provide a tuition waiver and a stipend of approximately $10,148 for each academic year. Graduate students who are awarded a PHS assistantship will be assigned teaching responsibilities in the PHS Department. Specifically, some graduate assistants will be assigned to teach basic sport or physical activity classes (e.g., tennis, ice skating, racquetball, weight training, individual exercise, dance). Other graduate assistants will be assigned to teach basic laboratory classes in our undergraduate professional program (e.g., lab classes in nutrition, health, motor learning, or exercise physiology). In addition, other graduate assistants may be assigned to lead discussion group sessions in our undergraduate professional program (e.g., lead/teach small discussion groups for such classes as personal health, leisure studies, sport sociology, nutrition, sport psychology). Finally, some graduate assistants may be selected to work as research assistants, journal editorial assistants, or as assistants in the Undergraduate and Graduate Coordinator's offices. In summary, graduate students who are awarded graduate assistantships in the PHS Department would have the opportunity to work in a variety of teaching, research, and service settings (e.g., in health, exercise, fitness, or sport settings).

NEWS: NASSS Member Earl Smith Honored
Dear All:
It is my pleasure to announce that one of your NASSS colleagues was
honored last night.
Wake Forest University and Winston-Salem State University have been
collaborating for the last 5 years on a celebration of Martin Luther
King's life and legacy.
This year the cross-campus committee made up mostly of students and a few
staff, decided to honor a student and a faculty on each campus with the
first annual "Martin Luther King Building the Dream Award."
Earl Smith, Professor of Sociology and Distinguished Rubin Professor and
Director of American Ethnic Studies was the first Wake Forest faculty
member to be honored with the building the dream award.
He was honored for his work mentoring students and faculty, for
challenging the administration on the declining diversity on our campus,
for the innovative course he designed and teaches, Social Stratification
in the DEEP SOUTH (see the article "Home Grown Activitsim" on this course
on the Sociologists Without Borders website:
http://sociologistswithoutborders.org/contributions/hattery-smith_-_homegrown_activism.pdf
) and for his work on the Darryl Hunt Project for Freedom and Justice.
Darryl Hunt is an African American man from Winston-Salem who served 18
years in prison for the rape and murder of a white woman that he did not
commit. Mr. Hunt was exonerated in 2003 and has dedicated his life to
identifying other innocent inmates in the North Carolina prison system and
connecting them to the Innocence Project whose staff work for their
exoneration. Professor Smith's role on this project is that he invites
Mr. Hunt to campus as often as possible to speak to classes and in open
forums about Social Justice. Professor Smith also coordinates student
volunteers who process all of the communication between the inmates in
North Carolina jails and prisons and Mr. Hunt. Through their work they
have helped Mr. Hunt identify at least 3 inmates who look like they, too,
have been incarcerated for crimes they have not committed. Mr. Hunt’s
staff is pursuing these cases.
NASSS folks, please help me in congratulating my colleague for all of the
work he does in and out of the classroom bringing our students to the
cause of Social Justice and, hence, building on the dream of Martin
Luther King.
Sincerely,
Angela Hattery
