You can email the professor at midake@umich.edu . I don't know if he is still offering the course for '08, but it's worth contacting him to find out.<BR/><BR/>JasonJasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09572100113806138133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365825910123580926.post-48103960513952734852008-06-11T22:38:00.000-05:002008-06-11T22:38:00.000-05:00See if the professor can offer my book on mixed ma...See if the professor can offer my book on mixed martial arts: "Fighting for Acceptance: Mixed Martial Artists and Violence in American Society." I'm a sociology PhD who wrote the book for classes just like this. <BR/><BR/>You can see some of my work here (check out the links under the MMA Advocacy section):<BR/>http://mmacademics.angelfire.com/media.html<BR/><BR/>We held in-depth interviews with Couture, "Rampage," Hendo, MayheM, Mezger, Trigg, Lutter, and many more on important sociological issues. We asked them about MMA's potential affects on street violence, fighters' rights, glamorizing violence, masculinity, and so forth. Plus, I train MMA, so it takes a balanced look at the sport and society.<BR/><BR/>David Mayeda, PhDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
