It is
essential to recognize and celebrate all of our students and each of their own
personal identities. This means that physical educators, like all educators,
must make a conscious effort to welcome students from all backgrounds. Due in
part to the recent Black Lives Matters (BLM) Movement highlighting inequalities
within our healthcare, education, and criminal justice systems, we dedicated an episode to discuss this movement and social justice. For this podcast
had on two scholars with expertise in social justice in the fields of physical
education and adapted physical education. More specifically, we discuss the role of race within physical
education, how disability and race intersects, critical race pedagogy, and how
continue this discussion moving forward. In addition, Clark's (2020) recent
paper entitled "Toward
a critical race pedagogy of physical education" was used to guide this
conversation.
This podcast features two panelists: Dr. Langston Clark (@LangstonDClark) who is an assistant
professor of physical education at the University of Texas at San Antonio, and
Dr. Samuel Hodge who is a full professor of physical education and adapted
physical education at The Ohio State University. Both of the panelists are
accomplished scholars within the fields of social justice and physical
education. To read more about this topic,
