Poetry can be both political and pedagogical. It is utilised in a
variety of ways in research to enhance, critique, analyse, and
express different voices. Poetry, Method and Education Research
brings together international scholars to explore issues as diverse
as neoliberalism, culture, decolonising education, health, and
teacher identities. A key strength of the book is its attention to
poetry as a research method, including discussions of "how to"
engage with poetry in research, as well as including a range of
research poems. Poetry is thus framed as both a method and
performance. Authors in this book address a wide variety of
questions from different perspectives including how to use poetry
to think about complex issues in education, where poetry belongs in
a research project, how to write poetry to generate and analyse
"data", and how poetry can represent these findings. This book is
an essential resource for students and researchers in education
programmes, and those who teach in graduate research methods
courses.
Health Education: Critical perspectives provides a socio-cultural
and critical approach to health education. The book draws together
international experts in the fields of health and education who
deconstruct contemporary discourses and practices, and re-imagine a
health education that both connects with young people and offers a
way forward in addressing issues of health and wellbeing. Chapters
within specifically link academic work on neoliberalism, healthism,
risk and the body to wider discourses of health and health
education. They challenge current practices and call for a
re-thinking of current health programs in education settings. A
unique feature of this book is the analyses of health education
from both political and applied levels across a range of
international contexts. The book is divided into three sections:
the social and political contexts informing health education how
individual health issues (sexuality, alcohol, mental health, the
body and obesity, nutrition) articulate in education in complex
ways alternative ways to think about health and health education
pedagogy. The overall theme of the book offers a perspective that
the current approach to health education - promoting a fear of ill
health, self-surveillance and individual responsibility - can
become a form of health fascism, and we need to be cognisant of
this potential and its consequences for young people. The book will
be of key interest to academics and researchers exploring the
political context of health education.

Social Theory and Health Education brings together health education
scholarship with a diverse range of social theories to demonstrate
the value and impact of their application to associated health and
education contexts. For the first time, this book draws together
cutting-edge research that demonstrates the productive and
impactful ways social theory can be applied to the diversity of
research in this field. Topics covered include digital health,
health education in sexuality, gender and health, food and
nutrition, mental health and wellbeing, environment, and alcohol
and drug use. In exploring these topics, each author utilises
different theorists and concepts to compellingly demonstrate their
application to a range of health education research contexts. This
collection provides examples for both students, early career and
established scholars that showcase ways that social theory can be
utilised in empirical and theoretical research. The collection also
highlights how health education scholarship can be enhanced by
engaging with social theory. It also explores the viability of
various theories for work in this field, and their potential to
generate new approaches for research.
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 fundamentally connected to notions of power-is
essential to exploring and understanding the many social and
political issues facing education today. By grounding studies in
work that reimagines, troubles, and questions notions of power,
injustice, inequity, and marginalization, such studies engage with
the tenets of critical ethnography. Offering a wide-ranging and
insightful commentary on the influences of critical ethnography
over time, Fitzpatrick and May interrogate the ongoing theoretical
developments, including poststructuralism, postcolonialism, and
posthumanism. With extensive examples, excerpts, and personal
discussions, the book thus repositions critical ethnography as an
expansive, eclectic, and inclusive methodology that has a great
deal to offer educational inquiries. Overviewing theoretical and
methodological arguments, the book provides insight into issues of
ethics and positionality as well as an in-depth focus on how
ethnographic research illuminates such topics as racism, language,
gender and sexuality in educational settings. It is essential
reading for students, scholars, and researchers in qualitative
inquiry, ethnography, educational anthropology, educational
research methods, sociology of education, and philosophy of
education.

This book won the North American Sport Sociology Society's 2013
Outstanding Book Award. Critical Pedagogy, Physical Education and
Urban Schooling is a critical ethnography of health, physical
education and the schooling experiences of urban youth. The
subjects of health and physical education are compulsory in most
schools internationally, but many contemporary practices in these
subjects reinforce rather than challenge the stereotypes that urban
youth are only physically talented and, subsequently, uninterested
in schooling achievement. This book questions those practices and
instead suggests that, if taught in critical ways, these subjects
offer a particularly cogent space of hope and achievement for urban
youth. The use of critical ethnography enables an in-depth account
of urban youth in the subjects of health and physical education at
school. This book thus explores the complex potential for health
and physical education as key sites of learning for marginalized
urban youth, examining these disciplines as subjects that are both
politically fraught and also spaces of hope.
