Girls, self-harm and suicide prevention in schools
In England, as elsewhere, one response to concern about the mental health of school-aged young people has been the emergence of government policies and programming which position schools as vital settings for mental health promotion and suicide prevention work. Much of the existing research in this area has focused on programme impact and effectiveness (often using quantitative methods), with little attention so far given to the qualitative exper…
Men’s health, physical activity, and ageing in a professional football club community organization programme
Professional sport club community organizations (CCOs) are regarded as important neighbourhood settings for men’s health promotion. However, little is known about how age, and perceptions of ageing and masculinity, shape physically inactive men’s engagement in CCO-led health programmes. This study addresses this international knowledge gap by presenting novel insights on the lived experiences of 17 physically inactive men (aged 30–71) involved in…
Coproducing a school-based mental health literacy programme
The last decade has seen a growth in school-based mental health promotion and prevention programmes alongside an increasing expectation that the design and research of such programmes should be co-produced with children and young people to prioritise their voices. However, little is known about how such programmes are designed and experienced by children and young people, particularly in primary schools. This paper addresses this by reporting on …
Exploring Mental Health and Illness in the UK Sports Coaching Workforce
There is growing international concern about the mental health of those who work in sport, including coaches. However, we currently know little about the prevalence of mental illness and the experience of mental health among coaches, and their perceptions and use of workplace mental health support services. Little is also known about coaches' disclosure of mental illness to, and seeking help from, work colleagues. We explore these issues using da…
Developing young people’s mental health awareness through education and sport
There is growing national and international concern about the mental health of children and young people, and in countries such as England there is now a political and policy commitment to developing whole-school approaches to mental health. This paper presents new evidence on how pupils’ mental health is being addressed in schools using learning activities associated with physical education, sport and physical activity, as part of a school-based…
James F. Stark, The Cult of Youth
One might not expect a book on anti-ageing in modern Britain to begin with George Orwell, but this one does and that’s fine with me. Orwell must be one of the most incisive British cultural and political writers of the twentieth century, and it is always fascinating to see the impressive and incisive range of his observations. Stark cites Orwell’s remarks (in a 1941 essay on that distinctive English cultural genre, the smutty seaside postcard) on…
A family affair? Exploring the influence of childhood sport socialisation on young adults’ leisure-sport careers in north-west England
Based on interviews conducted with 19 young adults aged 30–35-years-old living in north-west England, this paper examines the features of childhood sport socialisation that typically precede high levels of leisure-sport participation in adulthood. The evidence suggests that the extent to which respondents were invested with different experiences of sport socialisation by their parents was influenced by financial and transport constraints, whether…
The Class of London 2012
This rapid response article briefly examines one feature of the relationship between social class and elite sport: the social backgrounds of the Olympians who comprised Team GB (Great Britain) at the 2012 London Olympics Games, and especially their educational backgrounds, as a means of shedding sociological light on the relationship between elite sport and social class. It is claimed that, to a large degree, the class-related patterns evident in…
To assist or not to assist? A study of teachers’ views of the roles of learning support assistants in the provision of inclusive physical education in England
This paper examines teachers’ perceptions of their working relationships with learning support assistants (LSAs) when seeking to incorporate young disabled people and pupils with special educational needs (SEN) within mainstream physical education (PE), an area that has been a largely neglected aspect of research in inclusive education. The findings indicate that teachers spoke positively of these relationships when LSAs were perceived as making …
Still ‘more of the same for the more able?’ Including young disabled people and pupils with special educational needs in extra-curricular physical education
Writing over a decade ago, Penney and Harris examined extra-curricular physical education (ECPE) provision in state schools in England and Wales and focused, in particular, on issues of inclusion, equality and equity. They concluded, among other things, that ECPE provision was highly gendered, characterised by a disproportionate emphasis on traditional team games and competitive sport and provided a limited number of opportunities to only a minor…
Sports participation and health during periods of educational transition
In view of the persistence of health inequalities and declines in leisure-sport participation over the life course, several quantitative investigations have explored the links between participation and other leisure activities, which have their foundations in childhood and youth, as a means of understanding adults’ health behaviours. This paper presents new qualitative evidence to examine the largely under-explored relationship between leisure-sp…
Inadequate and inappropriate
Based upon focus groups with 12 secondary school physical education (PE) teachers working in north-west England, this paper examines: (i) how young disabled people and pupils with special educational needs (SEN) were assessed in National Curriculum Physical Education (NCPE) 2000; and (ii) how teachers managed the constraints on them to assess these pupils in the same manner as other young people. The findings indicate that the NCPE assessment cri…
Inclusive physical education? A study of the management of national curriculum physical education and unplanned outcomes in England
One key aspect of the growing policy emphasis on educational inclusion in England has been the tendency for physical education (PE) to be used as an important vehicle of social policy targeted at promoting the inclusion of young disabled people and those with special educational needs in mainstream schools. Drawing on aspects of figurational sociology, the central objective of this study is to examine the extent to which PE teachers have been abl…
Health and Medicine at Sea, 1700-1900
Maritime medicine, together with its links to the development of empire, is a burgeoning area of historical interest and enquiry. This book, based on extensive original research, explores the history of health and medicine in maritime and imperial contexts in a key period, reflecting the growing professionalization of medicine at sea from the establishment of the Sick and Hurt Board to the end of the Victorian era. The chapters, written by leadin…

Coleridge's Choleras
Samuel Taylor Coleridge suffered from a variety of bowel disorders throughout his life; though a large part of his ailment was caused by his famous opium habit, he continuously sought an organic origin, and on at least two separate occasions, in 1804 and 1831-32, he ascribed his disorders to attacks of "cholera." With Asiatic cholera apparently first reaching England in late 1831, there was considerable argument among both physicians and the gene…

The Cabals of a Few Designing Members’
This short paper examines the presidency of Martin Folkes (1690–1754) and the events surrounding the incorporation of the Society by a Royal Charter from George II in 1751. Folkes was also president of the Royal Society of London, and a small number of Antiquaries feared that incorporation was a plot hatched by ‘a few designing members’ either to line their own pockets or to subsume their society into its older, wealthier rival. Folkes in turn wa…
