This book explores the use of critical pedagogies for teaching and learning in sport-related degree courses. Bringing together new research, it provides lecturers and instructors with practical guidance and case studies on planning and managing teaching in a way that facilitates social justice and inclusion.
Featuring the work of leading sport researchers sharing scholarship and practice from the UK, North America, Europe and Asia, the book covers teaching and learning across the sport-related curriculum, including the sociology of sport, sport business and management, and sports coaching. It explores important issues and debates in contemporary sport studies and presents new approaches on topics such as gender equity in teaching and practice; a decolonised curriculum; anti-oppression and queer pedagogies; and pedagogy and identity in divided societies.
An essential toolkit for building transformative sport-related courses that will help students to become agents of positive social change, this book is important reading for any lecturer, instructor, course leader, researcher or advanced student working in sport within higher education.
