Leseth, Anne; Engelsrud, Gunn – Sport, Education and Society, 2019
There is a growing body of research on cultural diversity, discrimination and racism in physical education teaching and practice.

Engelsrud, Gunn; Rugseth, Gro; Nordtug, Birgit – Sport, Education and Society, 2023

Laxdal, Aron; Johannsson, Erlingur; Giske, Rune – Physical Educator, 2020

Ingulfsvann, Laura Suominen; Engelsrud, Gunn; Moe, Vegard Fusche – Sport, Education and Society, 2021
A wide variety of activities, instructional teaching styles and physical activity for health characterise PE practices today. However, for children, PE is about more than performing activities or being physically active for health. Children experience moving in the context of PE in varying and ambivalent ways, which indicates that qualitative…

Flintoff, Anne – Curriculum Studies in Health and Physical Education, 2018
This Fritz Duras lecture argues for the importance of physical educators' critical engagement with issues of race and ethnic diversity. Despite its colonial history and close relationship to sport--where racialised discourses about the body contribute to shaping commonsense ideas about race--we have yet to engage in any sustained way with issues…
