More Than a Cup series
During one of the great sporting spectacles, Northwestern hosted More Than a Cup: Outside the Touchlines of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The series culminated Nov. 21 with a viewing party on the Evanston campus for the United States' opening game against Wales.
Organized by the Office of the Provost in partnership with units from around the University, this academic series explored the intersection of sports and society from the perspectives of gender, race, human rights and sports journalism. It featured a range of international experts, including scholars from Northwestern's campuses in Evanston and Qatar, host of the 2022 men's World Cup.
