This text, intended for undergraduates on various education and sport related degree courses, covers the key, current issues in the field of sociology of sport and physical education. The first section of the text covers the importance of sport in culture, its theoretical background, and methodological issues in research. The main body of the text then discusses issues including the sporting body, participation and socialisation into sport, the hidden curriculum, critical pedagogy, and sport and the media. Laker discusses in depth gender, race and ethnicity, class, and equality, and he looks at sport and the media, and the involvement of politics. The chapters are each rounded off with challenging 'reflection' questions, activities and tasks for the reader to fulfill.

Product description

Review

"Chapters range from a useful introduction to very readable chapters on methodological issues and socialization ... Laker's inclusion of material on critical pedagogy and the idea of the hidden curriculum, important additions seldom included in such volumes, gives the anthology much-needed variety."
