Revisioning Fitness through a Relational Community of Practice
ReVisioning Fitness is a research project and community of practice (CoP) working to reconceptualize "fitness" through a radical embrace of difference (e.g., trans, non-binary, queer, Black, people of colour, disabled, and/or fat, thick/thicc, curvy, plus sized), and a careful theorising of inclusion and access. Our collaborative and arts-based work mounts collective resistance against the dominant power relations that preclude bodymind differenc…
Reflections on Applying Institutional Ethnography in Participatory Weight Stigma Research with Young Women
Inspired by consciousness-raising practices of North American second-wave feminism, Dorothy Smith developed institutional ethnography (IE) as an alternative to established sociology, which she argued objectified people and their experiences. Instead, IE begins from an embodied standpoint to examine how local phenomena are coordinated to happen by ruling relations from afar. In this article, we present methodological insights from our experiences …

A Meta-Study of Qualitative Research Examining Sport and Recreation Experiences of Indigenous Youth
Participation in sport and recreation may contribute to various holistic benefits among Indigenous youth in Canada. However, there is a need for a consolidated evidence base to support the development of sport and recreation opportunities that could facilitate such holistic benefits. The purpose of this research was to produce a meta-study of qualitative research examining sport and recreation experiences of Indigenous youth in Canada. Following …
There's a Cultural Pride Through Our Games
The purpose of this community-based participatory research was to better understand how participation in traditional games can enhance the sport experiences of Indigenous youth. Eight Indigenous youth (14-18 years) and 10 adults living in various communities in the Northwest Territories, Canada, participated in either a one-on-one interview or group interview. Data were analyzed using an inductive content analysis approach, and findings suggest t…
‘We are given a body to walk this earth’
Positive body image was initially conceptualised as the absence of negative body image, but it is now considered a unique and multifaceted construct. Within this new and flourishing body of literature, researchers have focused on various facets of positive body image including body pride. Body pride has been identified as a construct that may be instrumental to health and it is necessary to deepen understandings of this construct among culturally…
You can’t always get what you want
Research has been unclear on how people’s experiences of exercise adoption influence their outcome expectations of exercise, and how outcome expectations might relate to their continued exercise participation. The current research used qualitative description to explore the outcome expectations and perceived outcomes realised by previously sedentary adults who completed a year-long exercise programme. Participants exercised three times per week a…
Developing sport-based after-school programmes using a participatory action research approach
This paper is based on a three-year research programme, the overall purpose of which was to develop, implement and evaluate sport-based after-school programmes for students in low-income areas of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. In addition to presenting the results of this study, the other purpose of this paper was to provide an empirical example of participatory action research, depicting when and how community partners were engaged in the research p…
An exploration of the meanings of sport to urban Aboriginal youth
The meaning of sport to Aboriginal youth is not well understood, and this lack of understanding limits the potential to enhance their sport opportunities. Thus, the purpose of this study was to explore the meanings of sport to Aboriginal youth living in Edmonton, Alberta. Photovoice was employed as it is recognised as a decolonising and participatory research approach. Fifteen Aboriginal youth, between 12 and 15 years, participated in a sport sam…
