A Professional Community for Social Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in HPE

PhysEquity aims to create a collaborative community of educators and researchers who are committed to enhancing Health and Physical Education (HPE) practices and outcomes through sharing innovative ideas and cutting-edge research.

**A previous website called 'Physequity' (developed by Shrehan Lynch, University of East London) can be found at 'Socially Just PE and YS.'

These teaching resources are designed to bring diversity, inclusion and equity to the forefront within everyday HPE teaching practices.

Our research section delves into the intersection of social justice and physical well-being, shedding light on key issues and potential solutions.

Dive into engaging narratives, provocations, inspiring insights, and practical tips from HPE teachers, subject matter specialists, and researchers.
