Teachers’ constructions of female Students of Color as ‘the other’ in physical education
She was a rare diamond’
Enacting a new physical education curriculum
Previous research shows that enacting a new curriculum is a complex process. Teachers can be enthusiastic and committed to new curricular objectives, but they can also experience frustration and disappointment. Scholars have suggested that teachers who perceive lack of support, or tensions between their personal philosophies and the educational principles underpinning a new curriculum, struggle to enact new curricula in line with their intent. Ou…
Dictionary of Authentic American Proverbs
The Dictionary of Authentic American Proverbs is the culmination of 50 years of Wolfgang Mieder's proverb scholarship. He has published numerous works on proverbs in North America, but previous works did not draw a distinction between American (US) and British proverbs in use in North America. In the case of this dictionary, Mieder follows scholarly principles in tracking down first occurrences of proverbs that were coined in North America (and i…
Structural Discrimination in Physical Education. The “Encounter” Between the (White) Norwegian Teaching Content in Physical Education Lessons and Female Students of Color's Movements and Expressions
Background: Throughout society, including in the field of sports and physical education (PE), there are extensive debates on racism and structural racism. Researchers have found that students of color experience racial stereotyping and discrimination in PE. Studies also show that PE teaching practices reflect a masculine culture, emphasizing traditional (Western) competitive male sports and physical fitness practices, while marginalizing female s…
The constitution of the ‘able’ and ‘less able’ student in physical education in Norway
In recent years, the judgements that typically determine who is an ‘able’ physical education (PE) student have been sharply challenged. The research literature suggests that skills in sports, health-related fitness, toughness, competitiveness and effort typically play a significant role in assessment procedures. Although Evans (2004) lamented the paucity of research relating to ‘ability’ in PE nearly 15 years ago, little new empirical research ha…

Peaceful Lifestyle or Innocuous Image
The government of Kazakhstan places a high value on Kazakh oral tradition as a resource for societal restoration. At the same time, there has been a resurgence of Islam in the country and the on-going process of defining a form of Islam that is Kazakh. Asl Arna, the state approved Islamic governing body's media company, posted a video on YouTube that affirms Kazakh oral tradition as part of a message of living from a pure heart. Such an affirmati…
Hidden Rituals and Public Performances
Kazakh‐Speaking University Students Proverbial Perspectives on Community
Past attempts at using proverbs for cultural analysis have provided questionable results. There has been an overreliance on comparable proverbs from other cultures (Mieder 1981) or the search for “underlying” static cultural traits (Bartlotti 2000). The current paper explores the potential of using frame analysis (Goffman 1974; Johnston 2002; Snow 1986) and circulation studies (Spitulnik 2001) as methods better suited to explicating societal chan…
