Subjectivity and moments of non-gendered embodiment
In sport, transgressing binary gender boundaries is especially challenging for women as physicality, muscularity and athleticism remain closely tied to male masculinity. In this feminist poststructural and posthumanist study, 14 South African women CrossFitters engaged in individual autophotographical activities and photo-elicitation interviews, with five then participating in a focus group discussion. Visual and textual data from these data prod…
Mindfulness meditation among South African psychologists

Character Strengths and Psychological Type in University Peer Educators

As part of their training, 69 peer educators from the University of KwaZulu-Natal completed both the Values in Action Inventory of Strengths (VIA-IS) and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).
