This book offers an overview of contemporary debates in social justice and equity within Physical Education (PE) and Youth Sport (YS). It gives the reader clear direction on how to evaluate their current PE or YS program against current research and provides ideas for content, curriculum development, implementation, and pedagogical impact.
The book addresses key contemporary issues including healthism, sexism, racism, classism, heterosexism, ableism and colonialism, and it highlights the importance of positionality and critical awareness on the part of the teacher, coach, or researcher. Presenting an array of case studies, practical examples, and thought-provoking questions, the book discusses equitable pedagogies and how they might be implemented, including in curriculum design and assessment.
Concise, and avoiding academic jargon, this is an invaluable guide for pre-service and in-service teachers, teacher educators, coaches, and educators, helping them to ensure that all students and young people are included within the PE and YS settings for which they are responsible.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'An indispensable resource that will help prepare educators for a world where the promise of equitable movement is not just imagined but fulfilled. This is a powerful and necessary articulation of purpose that inspires action.'
Professor Brian Culp, Physical Education and Health Promotion, Kennesaw State University, USA
'Lynch, Walton-Fisette and Luguetti have written a must-read book for anyone interested in social justice issues and critical work in physical education (PE) and youth sport. Informative, easy-to-understand, and very relevant for students, academics, and practitioners. I regard this as essential reading for those in PE and youth sport.'
Dr Bonnie Pang, Lecturer, Department for Health, University of Bath, Adjunct Fellow, Institute for Culture and Society, Western Sydney University, Australia
'This is a timely and much-needed resource for the physical education and coaching professions. Presenting complex intersectional concepts in accessible and context-meaningful language enables practitioners to genuinely see themselves as active enablers of social justice, rather than peripheral allies. It is Lynch, Luguetti and Walton-Fisette's gift to their profession and one that offers an enduring legacy of change.'
Dr Sue Whatman, Senior Lecturer, School of Education and Professional Studies, Griffith University, Queensland, Australia
"However, all in all, this is a most informative and useful book to read and to keep in the bookshelf, or nearby in the coaching bag to grab easily. It serves as a social justice dictionary as well as an inspiration to hesitate, stop, and question the taken for granted way of teaching or coaching. The authors do not pretend that working with social justice issues are easy. They rather stress the opposite; it is HARD but also rewarding and well worth the effort. I end this review the way the book starts: "The time for critical: It's now or never."" - Karin Redelius, Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences
