Book

Social justice in physical education : critical reflections and pedagogies for change / edited by Daniel B. Robinson and Lynn Randall.

Robinson, Daniel B., 1974- (editor,, contributor.). Randall, Lynn, 1965- (editor,, contributor.).

Summary:

"This text prompts readers to examine pedagogical practices and assumptions that work to exclude and marginalize students with intersecting and diverse identities from full participation in physical and health education. The contributors, both experienced and emerging scholars writing in the area of social justice, cover a variety of issues--including (dis)ability, gender, sexuality, race, social class, and religion--with the goal of enabling teachers to engage in critical reflection. This edited collection includes chapters that have been approached from a range of social justice perspectives and interpretations that will push readers to reflect on the assumptions that underlie their current practices and to employ teaching methods that are more inclusive."-- Provided by publisher.
