Introduction: The legal advances in recognizing the rights of gay men and lesbian women in Spain has not meant that classrooms stop being unsafe spaces for gay and lesbian students. Teachers are key agents in this scenario, yet there are few studies that analyse and intervene in the subtle sexual prejudice of teachers toward gay and lesbian…

Research points to how queer faculty are critical to queer student success, yet we know less about the faculty themselves and what supports or hinders their flourishing within the academy. Confounding the limitations within the scholarship on queer faculty are two important realities. First is the changing tide in the socio-political climate for…

This research is the first to provide insights into the experiences of gay men studying a university degree in Physical Activity and Sport Science (PASS) in Spain. Drawing on Bourdieu's categories, one-to-one semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 PASS students and ex-students that were subsequently studied through deductive-inductive…

Objective: This study is a replication of Russ et al.'s (2002) work, which showed that students' credibility beliefs about and perceived learning from a male university instructor were negatively affected when he identified as gay.

Research has shown that Physical Education (PE) is a white, male, and able body-dominated profession, particularly in Spain.

This paper aims to unsettle assumptions of generalizability and representativeness in quantitative research using queer framings and positionalities. We argue that generalizability and representativeness are tools of supremacist dominance that reinforce harmful and essentialist categories of identities for the false purpose of statistical…
