Infos

This edited collection showcases a range of contributions, from emerging and established academics, to the contemporary study of social class, community sport, and physical education.Compared to other markers of social identity in academic analyses of physical education and community sport (such as gender, 'race' and ethnicity, sexuality, and disability), discussions of social class have often been relegated to a secondary consideration. However, social class has shown to continually intersect with other markers of identity in shaping opportunities, patterns of participation, and social trends in physical education and community sport.This collection illustrates the importance of social class relations within contemporary sociological analyses of physical education and community sport. Each chapter draws upon a specific theoretical perspective to explicate the salience of social class within the domain of physical education and community sport, offering an opportunity to critically examine a range of case studies and empirical data.Social Class, Physical Education, and Community Sport re-centres social class as a key consideration for the sociological study of physical education and community sport. It will be of particular interest for students, researchers, and practitioners working across sociological, sports, and leisure studies.
