Understanding Journeys of Becoming a Runner - Jen Benson (Pt2) - Meaningful Sport Series

In this episode, we explore the journeys of novice runners and how they develop their runner identities. What are the experiences of developing a running body and identity? How do the novice runners navigate the bodily discomforts and the body that is "fighting back"?
In addition to the research topic itself, we discuss the potential of using running forums as data and netnography as a methodology. Furthermore, we explore phenomenology as a research philosophy and why it is a promising way of exploring sporting experiences.
Jen Benson is a writer and an author of several guidebooks on adventures, running and walking, and a PhD student at Liverpool John Moores University. She has recently published a book titled “The Wild Year” which tells the story of how she and her family spent a full year living in a tent in different parts of the UK. We explored this personal story in the first part of the conversation.

Meaningful PE: What it is... and What it is Not - Dr Stephanie Beni (Pt2) - Meaningful Sport Series

This is the second part of our conversation on Meaningful Physical Education (e.g., Fletcher, Ní Chróinín, Gleddie, & Beni, 2021) with Dr Stephanie Beni. With its focus on prioritising meaningful experiences, the meaningful PE framework takes the starting point that movement activities have the potential to enrich young people’s lives, and thus provides an alternative to utilitarian, health-oriented perspectives on PE.
In this episode, we discuss the Meaningful PE book (see link below), and then explore what meaningful PE is and what it is not.
Dr Stephanie Beni completed her doctorate at Brock University, Canada, where her research focused on understanding teachers' experiences of implementing a pedagogical approach for meaningful PE. Currently she is a postdoctoral researcher at Norwegian School of Sport Sciences.

Implementing Meaningful Physical Education - Dr Stephanie Beni (Pt1) - Meaningful Sport Series

Meaningful Physical Education (e.g., Fletcher, Ní Chróinín, Gleddie, & Beni, 2021) is a relatively new framework that has resonated with many researchers and practitioners. With its focus on prioritising meaningful experiences, it takes the starting point that movement activities have the potential to enrich young people’s lives, and thus provides an alternative to utilitarian, health-oriented perspectives on PE. In this episode, our key focus is on exploring the key ideas of the framework and the experiences of implementing this perspective in practice.
In this episode, I have the pleasure to explore Meaningful PE with Dr Stephanie Beni. She completed her doctorate at Brock University, Canada, where her research focused on understanding teachers' experiences of implementing a pedagogical approach for meaningful PE. Currently she is a postdoctoral researcher at Norwegian School of Sport Sciences.

Questioning Purpose in Physical Education (Pt2) - Greg Dryer - Meaningful Sport Series

In this second part of our conversation with Greg Dryer, we continue questioning the purpose of physical education. Is PE about health, life skills, lifelong participation and/or other goals that we might find worth pursuing? Why are we so quick to start pointing out the instrumental benefits of physical activity, education and sports? 
Greg Dryer is visiting the podcast for the second time. When we did our first podcast session in the autumn 2020, Greg was still the Director of the Centre for Physical Education, Sport and Activity at Kingston University. After our previous conversation, Greg has chosen to fully focus on working on the miMove app he co-founded in 2019. In the podcast, we catch up on what changed in Greg's work and how his thinking around meaningful PE has informed his work on the app.
The main contents of the conversation then include:
- Instrumental and intrinsic values of PE - how do we strike a balance?
- Ofsted review in English schools: key messages and what was missing
- centralising meaningful and affective movement experiences; how to do that?

Questioning Purpose in Physical Education (Pt1) - Greg Dryer - Meaningful Sport Series

Physical Education is a contested domain in terms of what are the purposes of having it in our schools. Is PE about health, life skills, lifelong participation and/or other goals that we find worth pursuing? How can we support people's physical activity journeys in ways that movement activities support their life flourishing? These questions are at the heart of today's conversation.
I am really delighted to have Greg Dryer visiting the podcast for the second time. When we did our first podcast session in the autumn 2020, Greg was still the Director of the Centre for Physical Education, Sport and Activity at Kingston University. After our previous conversation, Greg has chosen to fully focus on working on the miMove app he co-founded in 2019. In the podcast, we catch up on what changed in Greg's work and how his thinking around meaningful PE has informed his work on the app.
The main contents of the conversation then include:
- Everyday physical activity and active transport as supporting life flourishing?
- "Life coaching" - problems and possibilities
- Digital tools: possibilities and challenges in supporting people in their physical activity journey
