Kimberly L. Oliver is a Professor of Physical Education Teacher Education in the Department of Kinesiology and Dance at New Mexico State University, USA where she directs the Physical Education Teacher Education Program. Working in the traditions of feminist, critical and activist research and pedagogies, her interest is in learning how teachers can assist girls in exploring, critiquing, and transforming personal and cultural barriers that limit their health and physical activity opportunities. More recently, Oliver has moved into studying the impact that a field-based, student-centered and inquiry-oriented methods course has on pre-service teachers’ abilities to be student-centered physical educators. She has published widely in both physical education and general education journals David Kirk is currently Professor and Head of the School of Education at the University of Strathclyde, UK. He is an educational researcher with teaching and research interests in educational innovation, curriculum history, and physical education and sport pedagogy.
