305: It's not like you are less of a man just because you don't play rugby (re-run)

Playing with Research in Health and Physical Education

This episode is a re-run of a previous podcast. This summer I am teaching a research reading seminar class at George Mason. It’s an online master’s class for practicing health and physical educators as a part of our 100% online masters program. This summer, I am launching episodes that I assign in that class. So part of the class is reading articles, and then part of the class we listen to the expert talk about their research on this podcast. These are all episodes that have launched previously, so maybe you’ve heard them…but, I know there’s a lot of content on this podcast and these are all great podcasts! I hope you enjoy them! And I will be back in mid August with an awesome podcast about the state of PETE in the USA with Dr. Phil Ward! Dominant discourses of gender that are related to physical activity, body image, and health are reproduced in PE. Join Dr. Göran Gerdin to discuss boys’ experiences of gender discourses in PE during secondary school lessons in New Zealand. We will talk about his article that draws on a large ethnographic study that acknowledges boys as active subjects in problamatizing and negotiating power relations.
