Dear all,
As many of you will have noticed, we managed to publish the missing article last week, see below, and we have three more articles in line for publication before the summer break. During summer, when page views drop about 50 percent, as a rule we don’t publish original texts, only news, e.g., calls for papers, vacancies, etc., and scholarly journal presentations. In the run-up to the summer break, which begins on June 23, we also have a dozen or so book reviews up for publication.
Apart from these publishing activities, the remainder of this semester will be spent preparing for the fall semester, and in particular finding and ordering new books for review and then identifying and persuading you folks to review them. There are about 20 books in the office right now to work with, but as we publish between 40 and 50 book reviews each term we will need quite a few more. This kind of work, finding books and finding reviewers, is quite enjoyable though, it’s almost like treasure hunting.
Last week the following items were published on idrottsforum.org (see below; language and publication dates, YYMMDD, in brackets). Click on the red headings to go to content. Utilize the Google Translate service to turn Scandinavian language pages into (some sort of) English.
Have a great week,

Research Article
Online Learning in Swedish Physical Education and Health during COVID-19: An Opportunity for a Changed Teaching Practice?
The aim of this study by Annie Andersson and Emelie Liljeström was to understand and highlight in what ways the digitalization forced by the pandemic has affected and challenged the traditional teaching practices among upper secondary school teachers in physical education and health. Eight teachers from different schools and cities were interviewed. The interviews were semi-structured and categorized into two themes: lesson content and digitalization, before, during and after the forced digitalization.
Book Reviews
Families, Sport, Leisure and Social Justice: From Protest to Progress, by Dawn E. Trussell & Ruth Jeanes (eds.)
Through a social justice and equity lens, Families, Sport, Leisure and Social Justice: From Protest to Progress edited by Dawn E. Trussell & Ruth Jeanes (Routledge) examines how families, sport, and leisure connect to broader social issues in society. We asked Solveig Straume, Norwegian sociologist for a review. She finds the collection an interesting read and a timely scholarly contribution, however with an unfortunate predominance of Global North perspectives. (Published in English 220503.)
Kroppsøving, læreren og eleven: Pedagogiske emner og forskningsinnsikter, by Knut Skjesol & Idar Lyngstad (red.)
Knut Skjesol & Idar Lyngstads antologi Kroppsøving, læreren og eleven: Pedagogiske emner og forskningsinnsikter (Fagbokforlaget) är skriven för den som läser till idrottslärare och förmedlar forskningsinsikter och diskuterar aktuella pedagogiska ämnen i samband med forskning. Gunn Nyberg framhåller i sin recension att antologin är ett lovvärt initiativ av forskarna vid Norduniversitet och den kan utgöra ett värdefullt bidrag till lärarutbildningarna i flera nordiska länder. Hon har läst den med stort intresse. (Published in Swedish 220505; book in Norwegian.)
