The Burden of Brown Bodies
Recent theorizations of biopedagogies, drawing on Foucault's thinking about biopower and biopolitics, coupled with contemporary understandings of pedagogy as a cultural practice, provide a useful analytic for interrogating the workings of obesity discourses. In this article, we aim to extend thinking about biopedagogies through a reading of public health research texts that produce 'evidence' about obesity and Brown bodies. We consider the role p…
Doing it for themselves’
In this paper, we examine how New Zealand children engage with public health agendas that seek to shape their understandings of health. We shed light on the ways children make sense of what they see, hear and come to know through public health ‘work’, and consider what effects this has for how they come to think of their ‘selves’ and relations with others. We pay attention to the way public health messages assemble, bolstered by dispositions, beh…
Teachers' talk about health, self and the student 'body
Adrienne Rich's phrase ‘the personal is the political' is well-worn in feminist literature. In a context where health imperatives are deeply embedded in school cultures and programming, we suggest the phrase has renewed purchase. Drawing on the testimonies of three New Zealand teachers, we explore the ways in which personal health dispositions and practices contour what and how physical and health education is envisaged in diverse school contexts…
School culture meets sport
This article draws on ethnographic work undertaken with 21 students and several members of staff at an elite girls’ school in New Zealand to investigate the relation between school culture, pedagogical practices and discourses of physical education and school sport. It explores what and who contours the participation of these young women in sport, both within and outside of the school gates. The article interrogates the values young women ascribe…
Destabilizing Dualisms
This article challenges two representations: one of rural communities as inclusive, closer to nature and therefore ideal places for young people to grow up in and the concomitant representation of urban areas as the antithesis of community, as alienating, distanced from nature and therefore not ideal for young people to grow up in. The results are presented from both rural and urban case studies, giving particular attention to young people's expe…
Children's understandings of rurality
We make our own fun
Drawing on recent research that has highlighted both the heterogeneity and agency of youth, this paper reports on how young people experience and negotiate social relations and everyday spaces in a rural community. Taking a case from New Zealand, we consider the sites, activities and social negotiations young people encounter when considering their experiences of 'community'. These experiences include engagements with the social relations and spa…
