Deportigualízate: Enacting critical intersectional feminist pedagogy in Spanish Peste
Background: Physical education is seen as a subject that can both entrench but also challenge inequities.Within Spain, there is legislation requiring educators to teach about gender equity in schools across all subjects.Given this, topics around gender (and equity more broadly) are being taught in some Spanish Physical Education-Sport Tertiary Education (PESTE) programmes.Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore university students' exper…
From policy ambition to classroom practice: Health education in China’s physical education and health curriculum reform
Background Reforms in physical education and health (PEH) increasingly speak the language of holistic health, prevention, and wellbeing. In China, these holistic ambitions have been sharpened through Healthy China 2030. The 2022 PEH curriculum reform reflects this policy moment, formally elevating health education as a core learning area. Yet PEH has long been shaped by healthism, where health is understood primarily as an individual responsibili…
The making of a coach: Lesbian coaches’ professional learning in Spanish sport
Sport often presents itself as a level playing field. Yet for many LGBTQ+ people it remains a space where inclusion and exclusion sit side by side. Within this landscape, lesbian coaches are central to women’s sport but remain largely overlooked in research. The purpose of this study is to examine how lesbian coaches in Spain learn to become coaches and how identity, power and place shape that learning. Guided by Ahmed’s queer phenomenology, we e…
Exploring LGBTQ+ people’s perception of belonging in sport and leisure
Feeling the lesson: Affect, attunement and trauma-informed physical education
Trauma-informed education has gained attention across schooling, yet physical education (PE) remains under-developed in this area. This study examines how educators in a Scottish Educational Support Centre understood and enacted trauma-informed pedagogies in PE following the school-wide adoption of the neurosequential model in education (NME). Using conversational inquiry, semi-structured interviews were conducted with six educators trained in th…
Chinese students’ experiences of ‘high-stakes’ assessment: The role of fitness testing
Background ‘High-stakes’ testing is a common practice in China and is expanding worldwide. As part of these practices, physical education assessments are compulsory for all students. Given this, China provides a unique setting to explore students’ reflective experiences of mandatory ‘high-stakes’ assessment in physical education.Purpose The purpose of this paper was to explore Chinese students’ reflective experiences and perceptions of the physic…
All physical and no education? – Gender, sexuality and the ‘affective atmosphere’ in physical education
Background Physical education (PE) has long struggled to justify its place in schools. In addition, there has been a lack of research on the experiences of Queer and Trans students.Purpose: Explore Queer and Trans students’ experiences in physical education and consider what those experiences can tell us about the state of the field today.Methods The paper was part of a larger critical ethnography. Data were generated using 45 interviews with 60 …
Shaping (queer) orientations: Affective experiences and professional changes of a transgender and intersex teacher in physical education
Research on LGBTQIA+ topics in sport and physical education have painted a dim view of inclusivity for the field. Research with LGBT physical educators has illustrated many challenges, discriminatory behaviours as well as complexities of being queer in schools. To date, there is little research on the experiences of transgender and intersex physical educators. Using a queer phenomenological lens, the authors explored the affective experiences and…

Physical education and health curriculum reform in China: Empowering physical educators through professional learning
Professional learning is a critical component in the implementation of national curriculum reforms. In China, a recent reform of the Physical Education and Health (PEH) curriculum seeks to enhance students’ physical and mental health, promote Chinese values and active lifestyles, as well as integrate traditional Chinese physical cultures. To support this reform, professional learning opportunities have been offered to physical education teachers …
LGBTQIA+ topics in sport, human movement and education
The purpose of this paper is to introduce the Second Issue of our Double Special Edition on LGBTQIA+ Topics in Health, Wellbeing and Education. This special issue focuses on LGBTQIA+ Topics in Sport, Human Movement and Education. We introduce the issue by outlining the debate about the 'inclusivity' of queer bodies in sport. We then introduce each article and explain how they fit into these larger debates in sport and education. We conclude the p…
Precariedade, testes de aptidão física e pedagogia crítica: Uma abordagem responsiva
Neste artigo, argumento que o campo da Educação Física está em constante estado de precariedade causado por forças sociais externas. Essas forças poderosas têm a capacidade de produzir condições que deixam o campo (e as pessoas que o compõem) em condições de instabilidade, vulnerabilidade e insegurança. Como forma de ilustrar isso, primeiro mapeio alguns dos diferentes laços que o teste de aptidão tem com entidades culturais, sociais, políticas e…

Beyond the Beeps: Affect, FitnessGram®, and diverse youth
This paper draws on two separate research projects, one with Black and Latinx youth in the United States and another with LGBTQ+ youth in New Zealand, to explore the affective experiences of young people with the FitnessGram® assessment. We specifically use affect theory through poetic inquiry to entangle interview data from young participants about their experiences with FitnessGram®. We then (re)present the data through poetic forms. We argue t…
LGBTQ Research in physical education: A rising tide
Background: LGBTQ scholarship in physical education has a history tracing back to 1982. Recently, however, there has been a ‘rising tide’ in LGBTQ studies in physical education. Despite this recent surge there has not been a genuine attempt to critically understand, track, and map the scope of this literature.Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify, categorize, and analyze published scholarship and peer-reviewed research on LGBTQ issue…
Equity and diversity in health, physical activity, and education: Connecting the past, mapping the present, and exploring the future
The purpose of this paper is to introduce the special issue on equity and diversity in health, physical activity, and education. We (Dillon and Sara) start the introduction by explaining our relationship to sociocultural issues and the circumstances that led to this special issue. We then provide a broad overview of how this special issue is structured by linking the manuscripts that comprise this issue to the past, map out the present, and explo…
The A–Z of Social Justice Physical Education: Part 2
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…
Queer men, affect, and physical education
The purpose of this paper was to explore the role of queer men’s desire in physical education. The author used interview data from an ethnography with queer youth to explore the relationship between desire, affect, and physical education. Drawing on new materialist theory, the author asserts that queer desire is not ‘pre-existing’ and therefore outside of physical education, but rather the field plays an active role in the production and shaping …
Toward a queer inclusive physical education
Background: Physical education has historically been a repressive place for queer persons. Since physical education spaces are predominantly heteronormative, research on sexual identity management has shown lesbian teachers often try to ‘pass’ as straight or distance themselves from their sexualities. There has been no research to date that examines the experiences of queer male physical educators.Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to use Dele…
