Synopsis

This book highlights the importance of the study of social class to our understanding of social issues, social justice and inequality in the context of 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. In response, the book showcases original research and an array of theoretical perspectives that shine new light on this important discussion. Covering topics such as sport in private schools, sport-based interventions in urban communities, and dance in deprived areas, the book highlights where research and pedagogical practices have the power to challenge class inequalities.

This is essential reading for any advanced student or researcher with an interest in the sociology of sport or education, or the wider issues of social justice and inequalities in society.
