Conferences as heterotopic spaces
Aspects of gender have received limited critical attention in the literature on conferences, particularly regarding how these events are experienced. This paper brings together an example of women academics’ participation in international conferences with a critical investigation of their experiences in relation to established notions of academic identity. Using Foucault’s concept of heterotopias as a theoretical lens and collaborative autoethnog…
An A-Z of Socially Just Conference Organizing in Health, Physical Education, and Sport Pedagogy
Professional development through academic conferences is crucial for health, physical education, and sport pedagogy scholars to stay current with research, pedagogy, and policy changes. However, accessibility to these conferences remains challenging, particularly for scholars outside of well-funded institutions or from some geographical regions. This disparity not only limits academic contributions but also hinders career advancement opportunitie…
(L)earning to Teach
Teacher shortages are a global issue. England chose to address this by offering financial incentives (in the form of bursaries and scholarships) to postgraduates in shortage subjects. The impact of these incentives, however, on those training in non-shortage areas remains unclear. A survey of 439 trainee teachers in England (2019–2020) revealed that those without financial incentives often took up additional paid work, primarily during holidays a…
Settler Colonialism–Genocide–Athleticide
In this paper, our scholarly collective traces how athleticide—defined here as the obliteration of sport, sporting cultures, and athletics through the killing, arrest, detention, or disabling of athletes, coaches, staff, officials, and administrators and the destruction of athletic infrastructure and history—has been part of the US–NATO-funded Israeli state’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza since October 2023. Although much of the literature foc…
‘I am struggling to survive’
The aim of this study was to investigate the experiences of individuals who are facing finance-related worries and/or a perceived requirement or desire to work, whilst training to teach.We sought to explore this issue by gathering qualitative and quantitative data from trainee teachers through an Online Survey.This elicited 438 responses from trainees across England.Our findings showed that many trainees are required to work and/or rely on suppor…
Critical pedagogies for community building
Enacting critical pedagogies within physical education (PE) contexts have been found to increase critical consciousness and disrupt hegemonic taken-for-granted assumptions about ability and the body. As an under-researched area, the aim of our research was to explore the extent to which a critical pedagogical approach in PE can disrupt normative ableist notions of disability through a disability-specific, critically orientated, tennis class. Six …
Complicity, trauma, love
The dearth of research with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex, and asexual plus (LGBTQIA+) members within the physical education (PE) community, is of great concern; to some degree members of this community are invisible in the profession. The unfortunate reality is that PE is largely recognised as a heteronormative space with deeply rooted gendered practices that often go unacknowledged. In PE, the high visibility …
‘I had to pop a wheelie and pay extra attention in order not to fall
When bodies move in certain contexts, it can mean very different things for different people. In our society, some bodies are more valued than others, and detrimentally, this can mean that certain types of bodies are ostracised and segregated to the outskirts of production economies and society. Dis/ability sport spaces, able-bodied sports spaces and able-bodied university spaces have been an under-researched area when considering how the body mo…
Using the meaningful physical education features as a lens to view student experiences of democratic pedagogy in higher education
Background: Higher education (HE) physical education (PE) can provide opportunities for students to develop meaning(s) and value(s) towards movement experiences. However, it is an under researched area in the educational sphere and little is known about what or how students find, meaningful movement. While there has been increasing interest in the features of meaningful PE, few studies have explored how they relate to students’ experiences of mov…
Restorative Practice in Health and Physical Education
Traditionally schools have been spaces that are punitive and have strict behavior guidelines that include zero-tolerance policies. Thus, conventional behavior management practices blame students and position them as rule-breakers. Consequently, all students, but particularly those who come from complex backgrounds, minority groups, and vulnerable home situations, are forced into harsh disciplinary regimes increasing their trauma. However, restora…
The A–Z of Social Justice Physical Education
Education has the ability to both reproduce and transform broader social structures. Yet, teachers’ responsibilities are constantly increasing whilst budgets, resources, and staffing are depleted. We argue that we are living in a time of great uncertainty and precarity. As physical educators, we should make attempts to be socially conscious of this precarity and provide equitable environments for all students. This article (the second installment…
The A–Z of Social Justice Physical Education
Education professionals are morally compelled to ensure that all students feel accepted, safe, and are represented in their classes. Physical education is no different; however, specific practitioner-orientated strategies to embark in more socially just practices are scarce in physical education literature. This article provides the first part of an A-Z of social justice education series where practitioners are provided with examples of socially …
Faculty members engaging in transformative Pete
The purpose of this study was to describe sport pedagogy faculty members’ (FMs) efforts at engaging in transformative physical education teacher education (T-PETE). T-PETE stresses the importance of FMs creating social change through their pedagogical approach and begins by asking preservice teachers (PTs) to reflect on their perspectives and practices (Tinning, 2017. Transformative pedagogies and physical education. In C. Ennis (Ed.), The Routle…
