Physical activity is understood here as not just a singular or individual activity, but as a practice that often intersects with other activities and interests. The researchers will draw on their work with gardening, volunteering, and youth groups to understand physical activity as a creative, communal, and potentially political practice, and explore the associated implications for health.
This event is for Durham University staff and students only.
