How can we use sociological theory to understand the social responses to Covid-19 pandemic especially in relation to exercise and health? What does the response to Covid-19 reveal about the social status of exercise? Is Covid-19 going to change our exercise and body culture more permanently, and if so, how? These and other questions addressed by two leading sociologists of sport, Drs Dominic Malcolm and Philippa Velija.
Dr Dominic Malcolm is a Reader in the Sociology of Sport in the School of Sport, Exercise, and Health Sciences at Loughborough University. His recent research has focused on the intersections of sport, medicine, and health.
Dr Philippa Velija is an Associate Professor in the Sociology of Sport and Head of Education and Sociology at the School of Sport, Health, and Social sciences at Solent University. Her research focuses on issues of social justice and gender relations in sport.
The discussion draws from a recent commentary written by the guests. See: Malcolm, D., & Velija, P. (2020). COVID-19, Exercise and bodily self-control. Sociología del Deporte, 1(1), 29-34.
