This book makes the case that school Health and Physical Education
(HPE) can make a unique contribution to young people's physical,
emotional and social health outcomes when teachers of HPE engage in
pedagogies for social justice that emphasise inclusion, democracy
and equity. Drawing on observations and teacher interviews across
Sweden, Norway and New Zealand, the book explores successful school
teaching practices that promote social justice and equitable health
outcomes. In particular, it draws attention to the importance of
building relationships, teaching for social cohesion and explicitly
teaching about and acting on social inequities as pedagogies for
social justice. The book also argues that context matters and that
pedagogies for social justice need to recognise how both approaches
to, and focus on, social justice vary in different contexts. This
is essential reading for academics and students interested in
social justice and working in the fields of education, HPE and
teacher education.

Within the overlapping fields of the sociology of sport, physical
education and health education, the use of critical theories and
the critical research paradigm has grown in scope. Yet what social
impact has this research had? This book considers the capacity of
critical research and associated social theory to play an active
role in challenging social injustices or at least in 'making a
difference' within health and physical education (HPE) and sporting
contexts. It also examines how the use of different social theories
impacts sport policies, national curricula and health promotion
activities, as well as the practices of HPE teaching and sport
training and competition. Critical Research in Sport, Health and
Physical Education is a valuable resource for academics and
students working in the fields of research methods, sociology of
sport, physical education and health.
Using visual ethnography, this book explores the many forms of
pleasures that boys derive in and through the spaces and their
bodies in physical education. Employing the works of Michel
Foucault and Judith Butler, Gerdin examines how pleasure is
connected to identity, schooling, and power relations, and
demonstrates how discourses of sport, fitness, health and
masculinity work together to produce a variety of pleasurable
experiences. At the same time, the book provides a critique of such
pleasurable experiences within physical education by illustrating
how these pleasures can still, for some boys, quickly turn into
displeasures and can be associated with exclusion, humiliation,
bullying and homophobia. Boys, Bodies, and Physical Education
argues that pleasure can both be seen as an educational and
productive practice in physical education but also a constraint
that both engenders and privileges some boys over others as well as
(re)producing narrow and limited conceptions of masculinity and
pleasures for all boys. This book works to problematize these
pleasures and their articulations with gender, bodies, and spaces.
