Produktbeschreibung
Schools are institutions that produce and reproduce
the meanings society has given to the construction of
the body. Adolescent girls try to navigate the
physical changes that occur within their bodies and
compare themselves to their peers and the socially
constructed idealized female body. Girls lack of
knowledge about their own bodies combined with power
influences challenge girls ability to understand
their embodied selves. These issues are magnified in
physical education due to the public nature of the
environment, where students bodies are on display
and can be surveyed and judged by others. This book
provides insight on how adolescent girls perceive and
feel about their bodies and how they navigate ways to
feel comfortable within their own bodies and the
physical education environment. Girls voices are
represented through student-centered exploratory
projects that are also provided in this book. The
results should inform physical educators, parents,
and students on factors that influence girls
embodied identities and why it is important to
provide opportunities for their voices to be heard.
