This timely and diverse collection offers perspectives on engaging people in physical activity utilizing the Activist Approach. This approach facilitates interest, motivation, and learning in physical education by focusing on student-centered pedagogy, embodiment, inquiry-based education, and listening and responding to students over time. The resource collates experts and beginners who have used the Activist Approach to incorporate participants' interests, motivation, and learning needs and maintain student voices in physical activity environments. Chapters center around three broad areas of the Activist Approach: (1) physical education settings, (2) physical activity settings, and (3) teachers' experiences of learning to use an Activist Approach in physical education and physical activity. Contributors from around the world discuss challenges and benefits experienced, issues of equity and justice, and what people gained and gave up by using the approach. Focusing on key areas in physical education settings, dance, sport, and physical activity settings, and PE teacher education and professional development, this book offers crucial, critical perspectives on how to meet people's physical activity needs.
