Currently a great deal of public discourse around health is on the assumed relationship between childhood inactivity, young people's diets, and a putative steep rise in obesity. This edited collection examines these issues from a sociological and pedagogical perspective.
This book was originally published as a special issue of Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education.
Jan Wright is a Professorial Fellow in the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Wollongong, Australia, and a member of the Early Start Research Institute. Her research draws on feminist and poststructuralist theory to critically engage issues associated with the relationship between embodiment, culture and health. Her most recent work has focused on the recontextualisation of health imperatives in various pedagogical sites, including school and the media, and on the consequences of these imperatives for the subjectivities of children, young people, teachers and parents. She is co-editor of Biopolitics and the 'obesity epidemic': governing bodies (Routledge 2009) with Valerie Harwood, Young people, physical activity and the everyday (Routledge 2010) and co-author with Michael Gard of The 'obesity epidemic': science, ideology and morality (Routledge 2005).

This work is engaged in the critical analysis of issues that impact on inclusion in education.
