Interrogating Kinesiology from Above and Below: Højskole Pedagogy, Praxis and Bodily Democracy
Lauren S. Morimoto
Quest, v76 n4 p430-442 2024
This paper, based on the Praxis Lecture I delivered at the National Association of Kinesiology in Higher Education Conference in January 2024, articulates how my experiences at a Danish gymnastic folkehøjskole (folk high school) and højskole pedagogy inform my teaching and service. After defining højskole pedagogy, I discuss how I incorporate its elements to promote greater inclusion, equity, and diversity in kinesiology, particularly around (dis)ability and body size. Højskole pedagogy also provides a way to encourage students to embody their learning and learn about their bodies through course content and experiential lessons. I dedicate this article to Dr. Seymour (Sy) Kleinman, my advisor and mentor, who tirelessly championed human movement as the foundation of kinesiology. He emphasized the importance of teaching, exploring, performing, and experiencing human movement, particularly in the context of increasing efforts to by those within and outside kinesiology to scientize and subdivide the field.
