Curriculum Vitae: Birmingham University , England, B.A.(Hons), History and Physical Education, Dip.Ed.; University of California at Los Angeles, M.Sc., Sociology and Kinesiology; University of British Columbia, Ed.D., Social Foundations of Education.

Specialization: Social and cultural history of the body: gender, race, aging and disability. Gender relations, health, sport and exercise. Social history of women and health. Social and cultural aspects of sport and physical activity. Health education, health promotion, health policy

Research on how sport is ‘gendered’ represents one of the fastest areas of growth in sport studies in the last decade. How gender operates is a key factor in the way sport is played, organized and funded Although sport has traditionally been a male preserve women have torn down many of the barriers that previously limited their involvement. This course examines the pivotal nature of gender differences in sport and physical culture and analyzes dominant and alternative images of masculinity and femininity. The implications of the sporting body in the construction and maintenance of other social divisions and inequalities (e.g. age, class, disability, race and ethnicity) are also explored.

The rise of interest in the body and embodied experiences is closely related to a range of cultural changes in western society. The body - our daily rituals, how we exercise, what we eat, how we present ourselves – is a medium of culture, a powerful symbolic form. It is a surface on which the central rules and power relations and ideas of a culture are inscribed and reinforced. The body also operates as a metaphor for culture – since an ‘imagination’ of body morphology (the normal body, the beautiful body, the toned and fit body, the athletic body, the tattooed body) has provided a blueprint for diagnosis and prescription, as well a visions of group solidarity, ‘healthy, active living’ and athletic performance. Not just a text, the body (as Foucault and Bourdieu have argued) is also a practical, direct locus of control – a docile body. Through the organization and regulation of time, space and the movements of our daily lives, our bodies are trained, shaped and disciplined with the stamp of prevailing historical forms of selfhood, desire, masculinity and femininity. In this course we examine the ways in which the female, male, youthful, aging and racial body has been fashioned in modern society to express the self through modes of exercise, sport and dance. We also critique specific representations of bodies in sport and exercise such as drugged bodies, sexualized bodies, disabled and fascist bodies.
