Based on the real-life Lights Out movement, this inspirational
picture book shows how even the smallest of actions, like flipping
a switch, can make a big difference in helping migrating birds.
When the seasons change and it’s time for a flock of sparrows to
move on, a map made of stars guides their way. But when they reach
the city, light pollution masks the map and confuses the birds. One
sparrow becomes separated from the flock. A girl rescues the lost
sparrow and decides to take action so this doesn’t happen again.
She rallies a group of friends, and together they encourage people
all over the city to help the sparrows by turning off their lights
at night. But will the city be ready by the time the flock return?
This book demonstrates how creative research methods can be used to
better understand the experiences of children, particularly in the
context of sport, physical activity, and health. Extending recent
developments in arts-based methods, mobile digital ethnographic
methods, participatory visual methods, and autoethnography in
research with children, the book focuses on British Chinese
children - an often-neglected group in research studies –
providing new perspectives on diversity and inclusion, innovative
research methods, and the Chinese diaspora. The book draws on
concepts from health and physical education, sport, sociology,
cultural studies, and psycho-social studies to shed new light on
social dynamics, cultural diversities, and contextual changes in
British Chinese children’s health related experiences. It shows
how globalisation and international mobility has complicated
diversity and difference in the Chinese diaspora, and how creative
research methods and reflexivity can be powerful tools for
unlocking our understanding of children’s everyday lives. This is
fascinating and useful reading for any researcher or advanced
student with an interest in innovative research methods, sport,
physical activity, health, migration and diaspora studies,
childhood and youth studies.

This book presents a detailed analysis of the experiences of
(minority ethnic) physical education (PE) teachers in both schools
and higher education contexts. It examines and questions the lack
of ethnic diversity in PE teacher education in high-income
developed countries and suggests important new directions for
transformative pedagogy to address the ‘whiteness’ of PE. The
book draws on auto-ethnographical research conducted in Sydney,
Australia—one of the world’s most culturally diverse
cities—and in cities of the United Kingdom. The study is rooted
in the concept of ‘trans-locality’, the networks that extend
beyond the immediate community. It explores the challenges faced by
PE teachers in culturally diverse workplaces, and the
interconnections between place, institutions, and the parallel
processes of mobility and globalisation. To understand and theorise
the myriad of interactions and practice around diversity,
differences, and social justice among lecturers, teachers, and
students across the two locations, the book offers an emerging area
of scholarship that focuses on a trans-local perspective in
diversity and inclusion in Physical Education Teacher Education
(PETE). Diversity, Difference and Social Justice in Physical
Education will be of significance to those who manage, teach, and
research issues associated with diversity and advocate for
diversifying the teaching workforce in PETE.

Globalisation and migration have created a vibrant yet dysphoric
world fraught with different, and sometimes competing, practices
and discourses. The emergent properties of the modern world
inevitably complicate the being, doing, and thinking of Chinese
diasporic populations living in predominantly white,
English-speaking societies. This raises questions of what
'Chineseness' is. The gradual transfer of power from the West to
the East shuffles the relative cultural weights within these
societies. How do the global power shifts and local cultural
vibrancies come to shape the social dispositions and positions of
the Chinese diaspora, and how does the Chinese diaspora respond to
these changes? How does primary pedagogic work through family
upbringing and secondary pedagogic work through educational
socialisation complicate, obfuscate, and enrich Chineseness?
Drawing on Pierre Bourdieu's reflexive sociology on relative and
relational sociocultural positions, Mu and Pang assess how
historical, contemporary, and ongoing changes across social spaces
of family, school, and community come to shape the
intergenerational educational, cultural, and social reproduction of
Chinese diasporic populations. The two authors engage in an
in-depth analysis of the identity work, educational socialisation,
and resilience building of young Chinese Australians and Chinese
Canadians in the ever-changing lived world. The authors look
particularly at the tensions and dynamics around the participants'
life and educational choices; the meaning making out of their
Chinese bodies in relation to gender, race, and language; and the
sociological process of resilience that enculturates them into a
system of dispositions and positions required to bounce back from
structural constraints.

At night when children are fast asleep and dreaming, another world
awakens - the world of night. Night in a desert, night in a forest,
even night in space, there are many night-time worlds for children
to explore across our planet... and beyond.
Life moves pretty fast and Ferris Bueller is determined not to let
it pass him by! On a beautiful spring day, Ferris fakes being sick
and plays hooky from school. He convinces his friends, reluctant
Cameron and carefree Sloane, to come along for the ride. The three
friends hop in the car and race to the most exciting place they
know: downtown Chicago. They climb to the very top of the tallest
skyscraper, eat lunch at a fancy French restaurant, cheer on a
baseball game, and marvel over the paintings in the museum. But
stickler teacher Mr. Rooney, determined to catch Ferris skipping
school, is on their trail. Will the kids get away with it and have
the best day off ever? And will anxious Cameron ever learn to live
in the moment? This joyful and nostalgic story about friendship,
adventure, and seizing the day will appeal to children and fans of
the movie alike.
