Post-Qualitative Inquiry in Sport, Health and Physical Education - Alan Ovens;Aspasia Dania

Post-Qualitative Inquiry in Sport, Health and Physical Education provides emerging insights on post-qualitative research in Sport, Health, and Physical Education and introduces new ways of engaging with multiple forms of inquiry in this broad field. By acknowledging that post-qualitative inquiry is metaphysical, speculative and empirical, the volume questions the privileging of knowledge in Sport, Health, and Physical Education through totalizing research paradigms. The volume embraces knowing as an assemblage, knowing as embodiment, knowing as limitless and not yet actualized, knowing as becoming through deliberate imprecision, and knowing as affective enquiry.

This volume constitutes a significant and exciting advance in Sport, Health, and Physical Education research– highlighting how the considerable promise of post-qualitative and innovative approaches to inquiry can enhance new conceptual openings and reorient established forms of thinking in this broad field.
