Education Policy and Social Reproduction
This book takes a theoretically informed look at British education policy over the last sixty years when secondary schooling for all children became an established fact for the first time. Comprehensive schools largely replaced a system based on academic selection. Now, under choice and competition policies, all schools are subject to the rigours of local education markets. What impact did each of these successive policy frameworks have on structures of opportunities for families and their children? How and to what extent was the experience of secondary school students shaped and what influenced the qualifications they obtained and their life chances after schooling? The authors locate their...
Excavations at Saliagos Near Antiparos
Until the excavation of the important maritime settlement at Saliagos near Antiparos, nothing was known of the Neolithic period in the Cycladic Islands of Greece. The discovery and excavation of Saliagos fills a major gap in the prehistory of southern Europe, and resolves several problems in the development of European prehistory. In this work, the final and definitive publication of the excavations, the finds made are presented in detail, and fully illustrated. For the first time the full repertoire of finds from an Aegean Neolithic site, treated on a quantitative basis, are made available to prehistorians and to the public. The environment of the settlement has been the subject of a number...
Education, Disordered Eating and Obesity Discourse
This book investigates how ‘body centred talk’ around weight, fat, food and exercise is recycled in schools, enters educational processes, and impacts on the identities and health of young people.
Body Knowledge and Control
Today's society is obsessed with the body, its size, shape and healthiness. Governments, business and the popular media, spend and earn fortunes encouraging populations to get healthy, eat properly, exercise daily and get thin. But how are current social trends and attitudes towards the body reflected in the curriculum of schools, in the teaching of Physical Education and Health? How do teachers and health professionals influence young people's experiences of their own and others' bodies? Is health education liberating or merely another form of regulation and social control? Drawing together some of the latest research on the body and schooling, Body Knowledge and Control offers a sharp and challenging critique of (post) modern-day attitudes toward obesity, health, childhood and the mainstream science and business interests that promote narrow body-centred ways of thinking. Includes: * A critical history of notions of body, identity and health in schools. * Analysis of the 'obesity epidemic', eating disorders * Analysis of the influence of nurtured body image in racism, sexism, homophobia and body elitism in schools.
Equality, Education, and Physical Education
In this book, first published in 1993, John Evans presents a guideline for challenging sexism, racism and elitism in programmes of physical education. Physical education in relation to social class, gender, race and disability is also discussed. The results arising show problems in the teaching of physical education, and examines the importance of physical education in the development of the child in today's educational system. It is the intention of the contributors to help practitioners clarify their thinking on concepts and issues involved in effecting equal opportunities in physical education. In turn, it is hoped that this will lead to better formation of physical education programmes which demonstrate both equality and equity. This title will be of interest not only to teachers but to students of sociology and education.
