Contempt in Kinesiology: A Call for Liberatory Praxis

Kinesiology scholars have called for justice to be pursued, yet traction has been slow. Anti-Black racism remains a noticeable feature of kinesiology, despite advancements. Moving from performative gestures to collective contempt, kinesiology continues to gatekeep the movement for justice for Black people and other underrepresented groups. Employing a liberatory narrative approach, this essay aims to challenge members of the kinesiology community to advance the field by seeking truth and justice via radical intervention through liberatory praxis.
