‘The elephants in the room’
Background Our study concerned a school-based professional learning (SBPL) innovation enabled through the Fulbright Specialist Program (FSP) at two non-government Australian co-educational schools. The SBPL focused on helping nine participants, four primary and four secondary specialist physical education (PE) teachers, integrate Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility (TPSR) pedagogy into their lessons for Year 4 to 6 (nine to 11 years old) …
Towards a dynamic processual model of psychedelic microdosing
BACKGROUND: Existing research highlights an increase in psychedelic microdosing, particularly for therapeutic purposes and as a means for self-enhancement. However, we know little about the different routes into and out of microdosing, particularly by those who do not consume other illicit substances, and of the processes involved in the development, maintenance, and cessation of practices. METHODS: Drawing upon a trans-national interview-based s…
A systematic review of figurational sociology within physical education research

Analysing teachers’ experiences as part of the figurations they form …

Parce que cette reprise s’impose aujourd’hui comme une nécessité. Celle-ci tient, simultanément, à l’état de la discussion académique actuelle au sein des sciences sociales et à l’état des sociétés politiques d…
Fields, Worlds and Figurations
We centrally explore the significance of conceptual imagery, particularly ideas of 'depth' and its relationship to ideals of critique, emancipatory action, and conceptions of social structure and action. We consider how depth imagery is invoked in critiques of sociological thinkers understood to employ 'flat' social ontologies. We develop a three-way comparison between Pierre Bourdieu's 'field,' Howard Becker's 'world,' and Norbert Elias's 'figur…
