Getting lost as a way of knowing: the art of boxing within Shape Your Life

“We Are Prisoners in Our Own Homes”: Connecting the Environment, Gender-Based Violence and Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights to Sport for Development and Peace in Nicaragua

“…As a result, various NGOs and practitioners attempted to develop SGD programs that use combative sports, such as boxing and martial arts, in combination with SRHR education campaigns and GBV-prevention strategies in order to empower women and girls with the knowledge and skills to feel safe [62]. Similarly, researchers have examined how self-defence sports are useful tools for empowering girls and women who have experienced violence in the global North countries [63][64][65][66][67]. These studies demonstrated that these initiatives enable the participants to actively negotiate and navigate aggression and violence in relation to their experiences with trauma.…”

Sporting Activities for Individuals Who Experienced Trauma During Their Youth: A Meta-Study

“…In total, 16 1 studies met the inclusion criteria and were critically analyzed using the meta-study methodology presented above. Ten studies examined the impacts of various interventions, which included boxing (van Ingen, 2011, 2016); the use of sport within a disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration camp for ex-combatants (Dyck, 2011); a sport and mental health intervention for a traumatized refugee from a war-torn country (Ley, Rato Barrio, & Koch, 2018); yoga (Rhodes, 2015); a sports-based youth development program for refugees (Whitley, Coble, & Jewell, 2016); and prison-based sport and fitness programs for youth offenders (Andrews & Andrews, 2003; Meek & Lewis, 2014; Parker, Meek, & Lewis, 2014; Van Hout & Phelan, 2014). The remaining six articles explored the role of sporting activities in naturalistic settings.…”

“…The remaining six articles explored the role of sporting activities in naturalistic settings. Seven studies were conducted with individuals who had experienced trauma (Ley et al, 2018; Massey & Whitley, 2016; Ratcliff, Farnworth, & Lentin, 2002; Rhodes, 2015; van Ingen, 2011, 2016; Whitley, Massey, & Wilkison, 2016); five studies included participants who had been displaced, had been exposed in warfare, or were in potentially traumatizing events such as natural disasters or extreme community violence (Dyck, 2011; Sobotova, Safarikova, & Gonzalez Martinex, 2016; Spaaij, 2015; Thorpe, 2016; Whitley, Coble, & Jewell, 2016); and four studies were specific to youth who had disruptions in caregiving as evidence by their placement in the criminal justice systems (Andrews & Andrews, 2003; Meek & Lewis, 2014; Parker et al, 2014; Van Hout & Phelan, 2014). Overall, differences in theoretical and methodological approaches emerged across (and to a smaller degree within) these groupings and are discussed in further detail below.…”

Assembling Citizenship: Sexualities Education, Micropolitics and the Becoming-Citizen

“…Interpretive and phenomenological methods such as interviews or diary and narrative accounts conventionally attend to human actions, experiences, subject-positions, biography and reflections. Some 'post-qualitative' new materialist researchers have considered interviews as irretrievably humanist and representational (Lather and St Pierre, 2013: 630), and advocated non-interview collection methods including autoethnography (Lather, 2013: 641), biography workshops (Davies et al, 2013) and creative outputs by research participants (Kuby et al, 2016;Van Ingen, 2016).…”
