This course examines the ways in which physical culture and kinesiology are organized and experienced in society. Attention is given to how physical culture studies can provide answers to questions such as; what does it means to engage in physical culture and kinesiology which are products of power relations that privilege some people and forms of knowledge, while reproducing injustice and exclusion for others? A range of sociological, philosophical, humanities and cultural theories are employed to illustrate how physical culture and kinesiology are products of hegemonic historical, political and social structures, which have reproduced systems of gender normativity, colonialism, racism, ableism, capitalism, neoliberalism, speciesism, ecocide, and scientization. We will discuss ways in which hegemonic systems can be resisted and challenged to open up spaces for reflexivity, freedom and social transformation in physical culture, sport and kinesiology.
