Sport, Education and Society

Scope

Sport, Education and Society is an international journal which provides a focal point for the publication of social science research on pedagogy, policy and the body in society and the wide range of associated social, cultural, political and ethical issues in physical activity, sport and health. The journal concentrates both on the forms, contents and contexts of physical education, sport and health education found in schools, colleges and other sites of formal education, as well as the pedagogies of play, calisthenics, gymnastics, sport and leisure found in familial contexts, sports clubs, the leisure industry, private fitness and health studios, dance schools and rehabilitation centres. In addition to papers reporting original research, Sport, Education and Society will also consider various media (e.g., TV, film, web sites) as forms of pedagogy and report their impact on understandings of the body in society. Sport, Education and Society encourages contributions not only from social scientists and educationalists studying the relationships between pedagogy, ‘the body’ and society, but from all professionals with interests in theoretical and empirical interests relating to policy, curriculum, social inclusion, equity and identity, and progressive educational development in physical activity, health and sport.
