Biography

Richard Bailey, David Kirk

"a compelling overview of the growing sophistication of physical education scholarship internationally, and a great resource for students and scholars"

Professor Mary O'Sullivan, Dean of the Faculty of Education and Health Sciences,
University of Limerick.

  

"With contributions from some of the foremost pioneers and innovative thinkers in the field of physical education, this Reader stands as a worthy successor to the 2006 Handbook of Physical Education. Its poignant focus on some of the most central issues and debates in our field and beyond suggests that this text will provide food for thought for newcomers to the field and senior scholars alike."

Dr Nate McCaughtry, Associate Professor, Dept. of Kinesiology, Wayne State University

  

"An invaluable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students in physical education ... essential to assisting students and their teachers understand physical education in its social, political and cultural context, so that they might shape their own ideas and build an understanding of the field informed by the debates, rather than simply being reactive to current rhetorics."

Jan Wright, Associate Dean, Faculty of Education, University of Wollongong.
