The sociology of sport participation (Ruth Jeanes)

Dr. Ruth Jeanes (Monash University) talks about her research on sport and education - ranging from studies of community park-runs in Melbourne to PE lessons in Zambian schools. We talk about Ruth's work exploring the potential of sport as a space for transformation - while also tackling the ways in which dominant values and inequalities can be reproduced in sporting contexts ... We also reflect on the experience of UK academics coming to work in Australia!
