Pupils registered for Inspire Critical Thinking 2022/23 are now able to access the fourth and final workshop!
The academic articles of Inspire Critical Thinking Workshop 4 centre around the question: ‘How is Sport a Political Tool?’ The six academic articles in this workshop explore how politics and sport interact with one another. These final articles explore topics ranging from the role of tennis in French historical culture, to the representation of LGBTQ+ athletes in Russia. This month’s critical thinking focus is on social media, and we’ll be considering how you can use your critical thinking Welcome to Inspire Critical Thinking! skills to assess the material which you encounter online.
