A hope and a prayer: First-year experiences of a Black male physical educator
Background Previous research on beginning physical education (PE) teachers has often focused on those who take a linear path into the profession, through teacher education programs. There is little written about, and with, those who take a non-traditional path, whether it is adults (over 30), career changers or Black males.Purpose This paper explores the experiences of a Black male PE teacher who took a non-traditional route to the profession. Th…
Magazines make me uncomfortable’: Discomforting, disruptive, and productive affects with youth in an urban after-school program
The purpose of this paper was to re-visit data from a nine-week scrapbooking project, with Black and Latinx youth, in an urban after-school programme, using an affective lens. To examine the entanglement of human and non-human bodies, I (White, woman, researcher) returned to week three of the nine-week project, during which the youth and I explore health and fitness-related magazines. I explicate how affect, using feminist new materialism, drew m…
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

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…
‘No perfect image’: Health, fitness and visual affects with youth after-school
Background and purpose: Messages and initiatives around childhood obesity, health and fitness continue to circulate multiple pedagogical sites (physical education, after-school, media), reproducing a narrow stereotype of the healthy, fit body. While participatory, activist research has offered ways to counter problematic messages that youth receive, much of this scholarship has been set in school contexts. As youth engage with health and fitness …
Health, fitness, and affects in an urban after-school program
This paper draws on data generated within and resulting from a pedagogical encounter between four Black and Latinx youth, two fitness professionals, and myself – the researcher – in an urban after-school setting. I draw on Tinning’s (2010 Tinning, R. (2010). Pedagogy and human movement: Theory, practice, research. London: Routledge. [Google Scholar]) concept of pedagogy and affect theory (Hickey-Moody, 2013 Hickey-Moody, A. (2013). Affect as meth…
