Sport, Physical Activity, and Anti-Colonial Autoethnography

A brief history of how autoethnography has been employed in studies of sport and physical (in)activity. Situates autoethnography in terms of several key paradigmatic issues: Ontology; Epistemology; Axiology; Ethics; Praxis. Outlines the importance of an anti-colonial autoethnographic research agenda for scholars of physical culture. Offers substantive examples of autoethnographic work that interrogate physical cultural practices as both produced by, and generative of, settler colonial logics and structures. Articulates the value of considering the notion of futurities, looking towards the shape(s) relations in social settings might look like beyond settler-colonialism.
