“…An unresolved tension for us emerged, as post-human, new materialist and post-qualitative literature proliferates in educational scholarship, is it affording new thinking and writing about important questions on the environment and the relationship between people and more-than-human 'actors' in the world (e.g. Clarke & Mcphie, 2020). We follow Fullagar's (2017, p. 255) lead in her article on post-qualitative inquiry and the new-materialist turn:…”

This Special Issue on environmental attunement introduces seven papers that engage with a range of different insights and practices of natureculture and embodied connections to place across health, sport and physical education. We have organised the papers into three themes that explore possibilities for: (i) notions of the environment and 'nature' in research and practice; (ii) possibilities and challenges of translating environment, sustainability and 'nature' from policy and curriculum documents into practice; and (iii) philosophical and theoretical links to emplaced and embodied learningpast-present-future. These are by no means exclusive themes and readers will recognise other patterns of theoretical and empirical possibility as well as important geographical and contextual nuances that need to be explored further. Because of this, we hope that this collection inspires further submissions via an extended call for papers that engage with the challenges and the possibilities of how we might approach the complex environmental, ecological, political and cultural factors that shape health, sport and physical education in current times.

“…There are countless narratives happening all the time, that perform at different scales, and temporal, spatial and sensorial frequencies, that we simply cannot perceive or even conceive (even with extra-sensory cyborgian additions like radar or ultraviolet detectors). (Clarke & Mcphie, 2020, p. 1257 Here they evoked an image of places that I resonate with. As they say (clearly influenced by Deleuze and Guattari [1987] and Ingold [2011Ingold [ , 2015Ingold [ , 2016), life is not dot to dot.…”

They thought they felt something, perhaps. The wisp of an outline not distinct enough to trace. Good. They circled it, at times, and at other times found themselves within. As they walked (a sort of walking. Figurative but real. Digital, but here. Over months of events), it curled open and headed in several directions. Foldings in the backcloth that furrowed them along until, as they walked and talked, they felt that perhaps a territory was becoming simultaneously clearer and more obscure, that they might find a way to enquire, even as it meant becoming the folds themselves. As they coalesce, Scott, Jamie, and Dave each come to this project differently (of course). From their own situations, with their own problems and with different voices and ways of writing. We (for the first shift in voice) take post-qualitative inquiry to be infused with a question mark, wary of attempts to make it a ‘thing’. Yet here we are, drawn to potentials, to the opening of conditions, to the possibility of something still to come. We hope to make a shift, to realise (as in make manifest) ontology and its everyday performance as synonymous with environmental education. Environmental education as a life.

“…In this way, we simultaneously attend to a (re)configuring of human/Earth relationships (Hart & Hart, 2019), and thus, situate our writing within a PE/environmental education nexus. Taking up postqualitative research, and specifically, Barad's (2007) agential realism within 'new' 5 materialist accounts, we note the expansive postqualitative work already taking place in (environmental) educational scholarship, namely, by Somerville (2020), Cutter-Mackenzie-Knowles, Malone and Barratt Hacking (2020), Malone, Tesar, and Arndt (2020), Mcphie (2020b), andJukes, Stewart, andMorse (2021).…”

A physical education/environmental education nexus: Transdisciplinary approaches to curriculum for a sense of belonging

Physical education (PE) is a site that brings categories of difference under erasure, presenting a wicked problem for how a sense of belonging is cultivated for all learners to foster physical activity, health and wellbeing across the lifespan. This article explores how, we, as two teachers of PE, turned to postqualitative and ‘new’ materialist inquiry to generate a sense of belonging within a PE/environmental education nexus. Taking up Karen Barad’s agential realism and Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s rhizome, we conceptualise this PE/environmental education nexus as a transdisciplinary approach to curriculum that enacts a knowing/being/thinking/doing between, and across, borders, boundaries, categories, fields and practices. We then show how this nexus was actualised in our teaching practices through two vignettes. As transdisciplinary approaches to curriculum are grounded in the lived, embodied and embedded (micro) politics of location, individuals are imbued with affective obligation to enact affirmative patterns of relating moment-to-moment. This means that a sense of belonging is always imminent, invented and co-created, bringing attention to situated obligations to enact good relations with ourselves, each other and wider planetary systems.
