Today I will discuss through a lightning review of the article ‘Stereotypical Views of Beauty and Boys STILL Not Letting Girls Play: A Student-Centered Curriculum for Young Girls Through an After-School Activist Approach’ that I wrote with Brianna Meza from the California State University and Sara B. Flory from the University of South Florida. We will discuss the barriers girls from the after-school GIRL program experienced to enter the context of physical activity in schools through an activist approach.
