Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation
This course will incorporate a diverse set of theories and approaches to cultivating relationships, activities, and environments that work to acknowledge trauma and minimize retraumatization. The focus will be on trauma- informed practice within adapted physical activity, therapeutic recreation, sport, and movement cultures more broadly. This course prioritizes critical disability studies, mad studies, and justice-oriented approaches to trauma- informed practice. Students will be supported to craft their own trauma-informed practice approach to pedagogy, coaching, research, sport, organizing, or other engagements with movement cultures.
