Discourses of Health

Done some work with Dr Em. She kindly looked through what I had done on this area and is helping me to restructure it all. From our quick discussion I remember this:
Introduction:
- Various discourses provide different ways of making sense of health and as such provide alternative ways in which we might structure policy and practice in PE.
- beliefs about health influence policy. They are recontextualised and interpreted by teachers.
- Why this matters: embodied identities, children's interpretation of discourses and effect on how they view their body and activity.
- Different discourses find expression in different forms of PE

Sections: outlining various discourses, then describing the form of PE they produce
- individualism
- Lifestyles
- socio-ecological perspective
- healthy eating
- gender issues
- Overweight/fat
- body image
- biomedical
- heart health
- physical activity (levels and for life)

We're going to meet again and come up with an outline, so we get these ideas straight before tackling this chapter again. Also found lots of gaps that need filling in.
