Producing the well and skilled body
Background Aotearoa New Zealand is about to embark on a re-write of the official, national, health and physical education curriculum for all primary and secondary schools. This is a significant moment in policy history as the previous most recent curriculum updates occurred in 1999 [Ministry of Education. Citation1999. Health and Physical Education in the New Zealand Curriculum] and 2007 [Ministry of Education. Citation2007. The New Zealand Curri…
What is health education within HPE? A critical analysis of curriculum in Aotearoa New Zealand, China and Japan
Objective: With growing international interest in youth mental health as well as the other health issues faced by young people, school health education draws the attention of scholars from both East and West. However, what stands for health education in the context of a ‘health and physical education’ (HPE) curriculum varies widely between locations internationally. This article considers how we might understand what counts as health education as…
Studying gender and sexuality in school health education
In response to their experiences of heteronormative and cisnormative cultures in school contexts, some young people undertake various forms of action within their schools with the intention of changing practices, school environments, or school policies. This student-led action can be understood as a form of activism but it may also be seen as the enactment of sexual citizenship. Both activism and sexual citizenship usually sit outside of the form…

A Specialised Antenatal Music Therapy (Samt) programme for pregnant women with mental health conditions
IntroductionPerinatal mental health has a long-term impact on maternal and infant well-being. Non-pharmacological treatment options are needed for pregnant women and emerging evidence has shown the potential of music therapy to improve perinatal mental health and antenatal attachment. However, research is lacking on individual music therapy for pregnant women with mental health conditions and formal music therapy services are currently absent wit…
Assessment regimes, data, gender haunting, and health education
Most secondary (high) schools in a broad range of jurisdictions internationally engage in various forms of high stakes, standardized assessment and related qualifications. In this paper, we interrogate how educational achievement regimes – especially via the reporting of curriculum and assessment ‘data’ – continue to mobilize particular gender norms. Drawing on Derrida’s notion of haunting we explore how such regimes impose and reinscribe stable …

Kua takoto te mānuka, mā wai e hiki ake? Advancing a Te Tiriti o Waitangi‐led approach to mental health education in schools
This article engages mātauranga Māori, social psychology and the sociology of education to argue that an individualistic approach to mental health education in schools is inadequate. In this article we discuss a recent national school curriculum policy that demonstrates the ways mental health education can be framed by Te Tiriti o Waitangi, informed by the determinants of health, and culturally located in worldviews representative of Te Ao Māori.…
Relationships and sexuality education
Background and purpose: In 2020, the New Zealand Ministry of Education updated the national curriculum policy for sexuality education, broadening the focus to ‘relationships and sexuality education’ and strengthening guidance for both primary (Years 1–8) and secondary (Years 9–13) schools. The resulting guides detail how schools might take a ‘whole school approach’ to this area, including dedicated curriculum time at all levels of compulsory scho…
Critical Ethnography and Education
In this book, Fitzpatrick and May make the case for a reimagined approach to critical ethnography in education. Working with an expansive understanding of critical, they argue that many researchers already do the kind of critical ethnography suggested in this book, whether they call their studies critical or not. Drawing on a wide range of educational studies, the authors demonstrate that a methodology that is lived, embodied, and personal—and fu…
Are Larc Users Less Likely to Use Condoms? An Analysis of U.S. Women Initiating Larc in 2008–2018
Physical education
This article is based on a lecture given as a result of the Catherine D. Ennis Outstanding Scholar Award 2021, presented by the American Educational Research Association (AERA) special interest group for Research on Learning and Instruction in Physical Education. It is a reflection on the field of physical education, beginning with an argument that issues of low status continue to impact practices, even while the wellbeing agenda intensifies. I t…

Hunter‐Gatherer Models in Human Evolution
Over 95 percent of human history was preagricultural, with humans subsisting through hunting and gathering. Data from contemporary hunter‐gatherers, or foragers, have long been used to draw inferences about Pleistocene foragers. There has been disagreement, however, about whether contemporary foraging data are useful and relevant for models of human evolution. This entry discusses how hunter‐gatherer data are used, including methodology (ethnogra…
Sexuality education in New Zealand
In 2015, the New Zealand Ministry of Education released a new curriculum policy document for sexuality education in all schools – Sexuality Education: A Guide for Boards of Trustees, Principals and Teachers. This policy is a rare international example of a curriculum document that explicitly values diversity, promotes inclusive school environments, and approaches sexuality education as an area of study (rather than a health promotion intervention…
‘I use any pronouns, and I’m questioning everything else’
The nature of sex/ualities, genders and schooling has changed considerably over the last 20 years, with global political, social and cultural shifts bringing the lives of queer youth to the fore. Trans youth are now more visible and various kinds of support groups in schools (such as diversity support groups, queer groups and gay–straight alliances) have emerged. This article reports on a critical ethnographic study conducted with queer youth in …
What happened to critical pedagogy in physical education? An analysis of key critical work in the field
Despite a long history of critical scholarship in physical education (PE), current research continues to show that PE is an exclusionary and marginalising space for many students. Hawkins suggests that philosophical pragmatism, cultural materialism, and health concerns are driving the field, to the extent that the foundations of PE are in jeopardy, and even in ‘crisis’. These trends are at odds with poststructuralist approaches to the field, and …
Critical health education in Aotearoa New Zealand
Health education in Aotearoa New Zealand is an enigma. Premised on ostensibly open and holistic philosophical premises, the school curriculum not only permits, but in some ways prescribes, pedagogies and teacher dispositions that engage with the diversity of young people at its centre. A capacity, to not only understand contemporary health missives, but also critique them in light of lived experience and broader sociocultural conditions, is desir…
‘Since Feeling is First’
We are spacing his words here, infusing the writing with poetic pauses, (re)making them for our own expression; keeping them alive. Writing is, indeed, ‘sensuous,’ lived in the body and felt. It gives us hope, it haunts our days, and it enables a crossing of time ... a trail of letters across the spaces. It subverts, rebels, exists.
Poetry in motion
This article uses poetry to show how we might reimagine the body and movement in ways that speak back to and subvert dominant and neoliberal conceptions of health and physical education (HPE). Drawing on the notion of poiesis and Arnold's conceptualisation of physical education as ‘in through and about movement’, I explore possibilities for poetic responses to the body and movement. These responses aim to unearth the emotional and political eleme…
Disturbing the Divide
In this article, we share our use of poetry as a research supervision tool. We are not only colleagues but are also in a student-supervisor relationship. Early on in the PhD process, we began writing poems to each other on email as a way of communicating aspects of our research ideas that we felt were not able to be expressed in prose. We found that this use of poetry enabled a direct emotional engagement with the work and ideas we were forming. …
Food on the Fringe
We examine how payday loan access and use relates to food-related material hardship with a sample of nonelderly households in both the December 2008 and January 2009 Current Population Surveys (CPS). We find that state legislation limiting access to payday loans increases the prevalence of our marginal food security measure by 1.4 percentage points and the probability of reporting that more money is needed for food (food inadequacy) by 2.3 percen…

Health education’s fascist tendencies
Along with other scholars in the field, we are increasingly concerned with the propensity for schools to promote particular messages about health, especially those that encourage body surveillance and control. Indeed, we suggest in this article that certain forms of health education can be seen as a form of health fascism. We begin with a discussion of what we mean by health fascism before considering the historical positioning of health educatio…
Getting fit basically just means, like, nonfat’
Current concerns about a childhood obesity crisis and children's physical activity levels have combined to justify fitness lessons as a physical education practice in New Zealand primary (elementary) schools. Researchers focused on children's understandings of fitness lessons argue that they construct fitness as a quest for an ‘ideal’ (skinny or muscular) body. The conflation of fitness with thinness, however, is complex and problematic. In this …

Brown bodies, racialisation and physical education
This article explores how school physical education (PE) can both reinforce stereotyped notions of the brown body as inherently physical while also allowing young people to gain educational success. Drawing on a critical ethnographic study of Māori and Pasifika (Pacific Island) youth in PE in New Zealand, the article explores how the academic status of PE, and its alignment with sport, positions the brown bodies of these youth in problematic and …
That's How the Light Gets In
Although still marginal in academic writing generally, poetry has for some time been recognized as a valid form of representation in qualitative research. Poetry can provide a rich, evocative, and aesthetic means of communication, which ultimately enhances ethnographic work. Like narrative, however, the use of poetry to represent research data also raises questions. Drawing on a school-based critical ethnography of marginalized youth in New Zeala…
Stop playing up
Situated in the southern suburbs of New Zealand's largest city, South Auckland is known for poverty, crime and cultural diversity. It is home to large numbers of indigenous Maori and migrant Pasifika (Pacific Island) youth. Based on a year-long critical ethnography of a multiethnic high school, this article explores the place of physical education in the lives of young people in one school. Both a source of concern and a space of hope for diverse…

Streams of Writing From a Fluid City
What is the relationship between qualitative research and environmental activism? At a time when the effects of environmental damage are becoming increasingly more visible and flooding our daily lives in unpredictable and sometimes devastating ways, how do qualitative methods of research and writing respond to current environmental challenges? This article discusses an arts-science-education collaboration titled fluid city, which disseminates cri…
Trapped in the physical
Health and physical education (PE) are low status, marginalised subjects in many schools internationally. However in New Zealand, Australia and elsewhere, they are concurrently credentialed and recognised senior high school options in which students can gain national qualifications. In New Zealand these subjects also tend to attract students who are statistically low achievers in the educational system. For example, health and PE are chosen in se…
