Walking-with
This paper explores the potential of walking-with as a critical and affective methodological practice in research with young children, particularly within neighborhoods shaped by gentrification. Grounded in posthumanist inquiry, we draw on assemblage thinking and the concept of the posthuman child to unsettle dominant research practices that typically address research as an opportunity for representational analysis and interpretation. Through vig…
Defamiliarizing a Walk
This article chronicles the development of walking workshops through a technique of defamiliarization in order to dislodge the taken-for-granted and open up walking to experimentation and novelty. We work with these concerns to consider walking as a research-creation methodology that composes inventive connections of a relational ethics that enacts a shared ecology of living and lived practices. Walking is not just about directional movement, tra…
Moving Encounters With Spatial Racism
In this article, I address how walking as a curatorial practice of storying a neighborhood facilitates an irreducible politics of place occurring as affective intensities at various registers, where everyday movements entangle with spatial enactments of racism. Working with theories of assemblage and immanent movement, I examine walking narratives in San Jose Japantown, California (U.S.), a historic, ethnic neighborhood historically subjected to …
Young adults motor competence after a 12 months period (Competencia motriz en jóvenes adultos después de un período de 12 meses)
The aim of this study was to analyse the change in motor competence (MC), body composition, and habitual physical activity (PA) levels in a group of university students over 12-month. 92 participants (68 males; 21.2±5.5 years old) took part in this study. All participants were sport sciences students and had their MC, body composition and habitual PA, assessed at baseline and after 12 months. Lean mass significantly increased in females (+0.2%; E…
Los entornos saludables y la calidad de vida. Estudio “Healthy Cities”
The characteristics and structural performance of different urban environments can be determining factors in the health status of people. Based on the Healthy Cities project (Sanitas), the aim of this study was to examine the physical activity, nutritional adherence to Mediterranean diet, happiness and sleepiness profiles of the workers of companies involved. An observational, descriptive and transversal study was designed, with a sample of 2491 …
Ambiguous loss after shaken baby syndrome/abusive head trauma
Shaken baby syndrome/abusive head trauma (SBS/AHT) is the number one cause of child abuse related deaths in the United States. This study, based on qualitative interviews with 35 birth parents of SBS/AHT survivors, employs grief management and dialectical theory to explore the ambiguous loss experienced by parents. Because their child is still alive, and the loss is the experience of raising a formerly healthy child, the ambiguous loss experience…

Enseñanza y aplicación de los test de condición física en Educación Secundaria
Innovation in Physical Education (PE) implies to search different ways to improve the quality of the educational process. The Sport Education Model (SEM) is a pedagogical approach that allows students to get involve in sport learnings at the same time that they participate autonomously in cooperative teams. Despite of the multiple contents that have been taught in PE through the characteristics of the SEM, to date there is no experiences that hav…
Walking Refrains for Storied Movement
In this article, I describe my narrative walking project, StoryWalks, as a methodology that underscores the concept of movement in relation to place-based narratives. I describe several community member's walking narratives, theorizing movement through Deleuze and Guattari's concept of the refrain and through Donna Haraway's concept of storytelling as open signification and materialization in order to think about the various ways in which walking…
Framing Islam/Creating Fear
Powell’s 2011 study of media coverage of 11 post-9/11 terrorist events argued that a thematic framing exists which results in a model of media coverage of terrorism that is different for acts of terror committed by Muslims than by non-Muslims. This pattern connects terrorism to Islam, thus creating a fear of the “other” and aids terrorists in achieving their goal of creating a climate of fear. This study examines the 11 terrorist events since the…
Effects of Suicide on Siblings
Over 33,000 people die from suicide each year in the United States, leaving nearly 200,000 family members grieving. Much has been written about suicide loss and grieving, yet not about the sibling survivors of suicide, called the “forgotten mourners.” This qualitative study of in-depth interviews with 45 sibling survivors of suicide extends the literature on uncertainty management and grief by investigating multiple ways in which sibling survivor…
Composing Sound Identity in Taiko Drumming
Although sociocultural theories emphasize the mutually constitutive nature of persons, activity, and environment, little attention has been paid to environmental features organized across sensory dimensions. I examine sound as a dimension of learning and practice, an organizing presence that connects the sonic with the social. This ethnographic study of taiko drumming underscores an acoustemological sense of knowing that configures the practice a…
Framing Islam
Since 9/11 there have been 11 terrorist events on U.S. soil that occurred or were stopped on the planned day of attack. This study of news coverage of those terrorist events revealed a thematic pattern of terrorism coverage in which fear of international terrorism is dominant, particularly as Muslims/Arabs/Islam working together in organized terrorist cells against a “Christian America,” while domestic terrorism is cast as a minor threat that occ…
Uncertainty management and adoptees' ambiguous loss of their birth parents
According to the National Adoption Information Clearing House (2000; http://www.calib.com/naic/statistics.htm) 120,000 children each year are adopted in or into the US. Much has been written about the attachment and adjustment issues adoptees experience, yet there has been no comprehensive study on the loss felt by adoptees as they reach adulthood. This study of 54 adult adoptees extends the literature on uncertainty management and ambiguous loss…
Ambiguous Loss
This study used a dialectical framework to examine the communication of family members who experienced the ambiguous loss of a premature birth. The parents' uncertainty about their baby's prematurity was exacerbated by contradictory feelings of joy and grief, and efforts to communicate the complicated experience to family members. The parents of premature babies underwent various grief emotions as they mourned the loss of a full-term pregnancy an…
