This episode talks about touch in physical education, about a moral panic, surveillance and how physical touch is navigated by pre-service teachers in Spain which is a "touchy" culture.
Valeria Varea has completed her PhD at the School of Human Movement Studies at the University of Queensland, Australia (title: The body as a professional ‘touchstone’: Exploring Health and Physical Education undergraduates’ understandings of the body). She was then appointed as a lecturer in Health and Physical Education at the University on New England, Australia. In 2018, she left Australia to to work as an associate senior lecturer at the School of Health Sciences at Örebro University, Sweden.
Valeria's research draws on critical and socio-cultural perspectives, using qualitative research methods to extend knowledge and critique people's understandings of the body, health, Physical Education, sport and physical activity.
