Abstract

This chapter explores feminist interactions with physical education in terms of the development and employment of queer theory, and links between associated research about sexualities and pedagogy in the field of HPE. I address some of the related fields dominating or marginalized in HPE research; I identify potential shifts in research and pose questions to imagine what a queer pedagogy of movement or physical culture might look. For instance, what would it mean for HPE and related research to take up queer worlding? Specifically, I highlight the work that is necessary to recognize and challenge heterosexism, heteronormativity, misogyny, sexual violence and violence of identity-imposing limits to what or who physically educated individuals may be or become?
