Negotiating sexuality and masculinity in school sport: An autoethnography

This autoethnography explores challenging and ethically sensitive issues around sexual orientation, sexual identity and masculinity in the context of school sport. Through storytelling, I aim to show how sometimes ambiguous encounters with heterosexism, homophobia and hegemonic masculinity through sport problematise identity development for young same-sex attracted males. By foregrounding personal embodied experience, I respond to an absence of stories of gay and bisexual experiences among males in physical education and school sport, in an effort to reduce a continuing sense of Otherness and difference regarding same-sex attracted males. I rely on the story itself to express the embodied forms of knowing that inhabit the experiences I describe, and resist a finalising interpretation of the story. Instead, I offer personal reflections on particular theoretical and methodological issues which relate to both the form and content of the story

Disrupting the Ethical Imperatives of “Junior” Critical Qualitative Scholars in the Era of Conservative Modernization

In this article, we wrestle with the core issue of how early career researchers translate central tenets and core concepts of critical theory and critical methodology into their research practice. By way of creative representation, we draw from bell hooks and Cornel West’s (1991) written rendition of their verbal dialogue in Breaking Bread: Insurgent Black Intellectual Life. Their hope was to offer the book in a dialogic format in such a way that mirrored the synergy in their verbal discussions as friends and intellectual colleagues. In a similar vein, we hope to share with readers the synergy and depth of the narratives that have transpired during our ongoing discussions on the important topic of critical praxis as part of a collaborative research group called the Disruptive Dialogue Project (Gildersleeve, Kuntz, Pasque & Carducci, 2010; Kuntz, Pasque, Carducci, & Gildersleeve, 2009).Yeshttps://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/manuscript-submission-guideline

Deleuze and collaborative writing:Responding to/with ‘JKSB’

In this article, the authors respond to Deleuze and Collaborative Writing: An Immanent Plane of Composition. The book's authors (Jonathan, Ken, Susanne, and Bronwyn) and two discussants (Elizabeth St. Pierre and Norman Denzin) consider questions such as the following: What does this book open up? How might it help us to think differently (e.g. about inquiry, about collaboration, about the ethics of reading and writing in such an assemblage)? And how does it contribute to the growing literature on collaborative writing as method of inquiry

Catalytic and stoichiometric reactions of tertiary silanes with [Ir(Me)2Cp*L] (Cp*=h5-C5Me5; L= PMe3, PMe2Ph, PMePh2, PPh3) in the presence of one-electron oxidants. A unique case of Si-H, Si-C, Ir-C and P-F bonds one-step activation: crystal structure of [Ir(Ph)(SiPh2F)Cp*(PMe3)]

The iridium(III) dimethyl derivatives [Ir(Me)(2)Cp*L] (Cp* = eta(5)-C5Me5; L = PMe3 1a, PPh3 1d) catalyze the dehydrogenative coupling of dimethylphenylsilane in the presence of one-electron oxidants to yield Me2PhSiSiPhMe2. Compounds 1a-d react with triphenylsilane in the presence of [FeCp2]PF6 to give methane and [Ir(Ph)(SiFPh2)Cp*L] (L = PMe3 (2a), PMe2Ph (2b), PMePh2 (2c), PPh3 (2d)). 2a was structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments. The 'three-legged piano stool' coordination polyhedron is slightly deformed

Recursive errors-in-variables approach for AR parameter estimation from noisy observations. Application to radar sea clutter rejection

AR modeling is used in a wide range of applications from speech processing to Rayleigh fading channel simulation. When the observations are disturbed by an additive white noise, the standard Least Squares estimation of the AR parameters is biased. Some authors of this paper recently reformulated this problem as an errors-in-variables (EIV) issue and proposed an off-line solution, which outperforms other existing methods. Nevertheless, its computational cost may be high. In this paper, we present a blind recursive EIV method that can be implemented for real-time applications. It has the advantage of converging faster than the noise compensated LMS based solutions. In addition, unlike EKF or Sigma Point Kalman filter, it does not require a priori knowledge such as the variances of the driving process and the additive noise. The approach is first tested with synthetic data; then, its relevance is illustrated in the field of radar sea clutter rejection
