Reimagining Life Skills through Postqualitative Inquiry - Dr Martin Camiré (Pt2) - Meaningful Sport Series
from Physical Activity Researcher · host paresearcher
Life skills has been an important concept for sport researchers interested in understanding the potential of sport to foster positive youth development. In this second part of our conversation with Dr Martin Camiré, we explore why it is necessary to rethink some of the assumptions associated with life skills, and how postqualitative inquiry can help us extend our understanding of life skills and learning in sport more broadly. We also discuss the potential of 'postsport' physical cultures to foster different kind of learning that might not always be 'positive' but still important for becoming who we are. Our conversation draws on Martin's recent article in Qualitative Research in Sport, Exercise and Health titled A move to rethink life skills as assemblages: a call to postqualitative inquiry. Dr Martin Camiré is an Associate Professor at the University of Ottawa whose work has made a substantial contribution to our knowledge base on sport-based positive youth development and life skills. His recent work has focused on reimagining life skills through a social justice lens, as well as exploring the concept through postqualitative inquiry. -- Timestamps: 2:00 Engaging in risky research 7:40 Precarious work in academia 9:45 Using postqualitative inquiry to rethink life skills 10:35 Going beyond the discursive 13:00 Why the notion of life skill transfer needs to be abandoned 15:35 You cannot hit the same tennis shot twice 20:20 Learning as becoming 25:30 Imagining life skills through a social justice lens 31:45 Is life skills still a useful concept or should we move on to something else? 38:55 Learning and becoming in postsport physical cultures -- Liked this episode?
