Mental health trajectories in university students across the Covid-19 pandemic: Findings from the Student Wellbeing at Northern England Universities prospective cohort study

Furthermore, the study period included the COVID-19 pandemic…
Back Onside protocol: A physical activity intervention to improve health outcomes in people who are unemployed or at risk of unemployment

This has added urgency in the context of rising rates of poverty-related unemployment in the UK in 2022. The current paper details the protocol used in the evaluation of the Back Onside Programme; a community-based progr…

We are getting there slowly’: Lesbian teacher experiences in the post-Section 28 environment
Prior to the subtraction of Section 28 from the 1988 Local Government Act in 2003, a substantial amount of research was published that specifically examined the experiences of lesbian physical education (PE) teachers. This article contributes to the existing academic literature by exploring the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual teachers working in a post-Section 28 school environment. Drawing on life history interviews of two lesbia…
Postmodernism, Queer Theory and Moral Judgment in Sport: Some Critical Reflections
The emergence of postmodern discourse, and more recently queer theory, has had a significant impact on sports feminism. Rejecting grand narratives and universal values, postmodern research attempts to explore the diversity of women's sporting experiences in relation to identity concepts such as sex, gender, sexuality, race, and ethnicity. Such research often highlights important moral issues like intolerance and injustice. Postmodern and queer th…
