Sustainable Development and Physical Education: Critical Perspectives on Motor, Social, and Ecological Transformations

The Special Issue aims to bring together critical, sociological and pedagogical perspectives on how sustainable development is interpreted, negotiated and enacted through Physical Education across diverse educational, cultural and political contexts.

There is special interest in contributions that explore Physical Education not only as a space for promoting health and movement, but also as a potentially transformative educational setting for addressing ecological consciousness, social justice, inclusion, participation, embodied learning and systemic change.
