In this video, Jeffrey Montez de Oca introduces the key sociological term "nationalism". He situates nationalism within the works of Emile Durkheim, Benedict Anderson, and Michael Billig. After emphasizing the symbolic, "banal" quantities of nationalism as an imagined community, he poses questions that students could address in discussions and writing about the relationship between nationalism and sport.
