Caregiving mobilities: Strategies and advocacy of mothers who cycle in Toronto
Despite growing interest in the connections between mobility, gender, and sustainability, there remains a notable gap in understanding how bicycling as daily practice intersects with parenting and caregiving responsibilities. This paper seeks to address these lacunas by exploring how mothers navigate systemic inequalities and structural barriers to mobility and caregiving. To foreground these issues, we share the findings from six semi-structured…

This paper aims to demonstrate the utility of a decolonial feminist particip…
Indigenous Youth (Non)Participation in Euro-Canadian Sport: Applying Theories of Refusal
Much of the research on Indigenous youth’s sport has focused on the barriers that they experience in accessing opportunities for participation.

In making this argument, first, we connect Indigenous theories of refusal to Indigenous youth sport participation in Canada. Second, we examine the researcher’s…

This study builds on research that found a significant lack of racial diversity in Canadian university kinesiology programs. We extend previous findings by including the experiences of students who reveal how whiteness structures every aspect of their kinesiology education. We employ Critical Race Theory and theories of whiteness within a case study of eight kinesiology faculties in Canada. The mixed methods data collection included: (a) analysis…
