The first texts on sport sociology appeared in the early 1920's; however, this sub-discipline of sociology did not fully develop until the 1960's, prominently in Europe and North America. Scholars from both Physical Education and sociology formed the International Committee for the Sociology of Sport (ICSS) in 1965, presently known as the Sociology of Sport Association . Current research areas include: sport and socialisation, sport and social stratification, sport subcultures, the political economy of sport, sport and deviance, sport and the media, sport, the body and the emotions, sport violence, sport politics and national identify, sport and globalisation. {Link without Title} Several colleges and universities currently teach courses in sociology of sport, and graduate degree majors are offered at an increasing number of schools.
