Scorringe, Aaron; Philpot, Rod; Bruce, Toni – Curriculum Studies in Health and Physical Education, 2021
New Zealand and Australia introduced health and physical education curricula espousing a socially-critical perspective more than two decades ago.

Philpot, Rod; Smith, Wayne – Curriculum Studies in Health and Physical Education, 2018

Philpot, Rod – European Physical Education Review, 2016
While an emphasis on social justice has emerged as a theme in initial teacher education (ITE) over the past decade, there is much debate about how to engage ITE students in foregrounding issues of equity and social justice in their own teaching. One strategy, the introduction of critical pedagogy in ITE, has been promoted in teacher education…
