306: The Boys STILL not letting girls play (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! Today I will discuss through a lightning review of the article ‘Stereotypical Views of Beauty and Boys STILL Not Letting Girls Play: A Student-Centered Curriculum for Young Girls Through an After-School Activist Approach’ that I wrote with Brianna Meza from the California State University and Sara B. Flory from the University of South Florida. We will discuss the barriers girls from the after-school GIRL program experienced to enter the context of physical activity in schools through an activist approach.
