White, Adam; Hobson, Michael – Sport, Education and Society, 2017
Physical education (PE) and sport have traditionally been identified by scholars as a key mechanism for the production and reproduction of a culturally esteemed ideal of masculinity, premised upon being stoic, strong, competitive, sexist and homophobic. Yet, more recent research reflects a change in valued masculinity as a response to declining…

Hill, Joanne – Sport, Education and Society, 2015
Connections have been drawn between masculinity, muscularity and physical or social status in sport.

This paper draws on three British Asian teenage boys' visual and verbal narratives to enquire…

Goodyear, Victoria A; Casey, Ashley; Kirk, David – Sport, Education and Society, 2014
Research suggests that girls are disengaged in physical education due to the "traditional" way that it is taught, i.e. teacher-centred approaches with a primary focus on motor performance. In contrast, Cooperative Learning, a student-centred pedagogy focusing on learning in multiple domains, has had success in engaging girls in physical…

Lang, Melanie – Sport, Education and Society, 2010
