Life skills has been an important concept for sport researchers interested in understanding the potential of sport to foster positive youth development. In this second part of our conversation with Dr Martin Camiré, we explore why it is necessary to rethink some of the assumptions associated with life skills, and how postqualitative inquiry can help us extend our understanding of life skills and learning in sport more broadly. We also discuss the potential of 'postsport' physical cultures to foster different kind of learning that might not always be 'positive' but still important for becoming who we are.
Our conversation draws on Martin's recent article in Qualitative Research in Sport, Exercise and Health titled A move to rethink life skills as assemblages: a call to postqualitative inquiry.
Dr Martin Camiré is an Associate Professor at the University of Ottawa whose work has made a substantial contribution to our knowledge base on sport-based positive youth development and life skills. His recent work has focused on reimagining life skills through a social justice lens, as well as exploring the concept through postqualitative inquiry.
