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.
