For this episode, I  was grateful to be joined by Dr. Kate Bancroft, a current lecturer at King’s College London where she researches Formula One and women’s equality. Kate received her PhD in the Sociology of Gender in 2021, and has taught at a number of schools across West Yorkshire in the United Kingdom. At the university level specifically, she has worked at Leeds Beckett University, Newcastle University, and most recently King’s College London. As a lifelong sports and physical education fan, much of Kate’s work and research has centred around women’s equality within professional sport, specifically Formula One. She has written papers on some of the most prolific names in the sport, including George Russell and Toto Wolff of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team. Through her research, Kate is seeking to make F1 a more equitable space.   In our conversation, we spoke about Kate’s research and why she feels compelled to advance women’s equality in Formula One.

Welcome to episode 166 of The PE Umbrella Podcast! This week I am joined by former assistant head, head of PE and now Early Years course leader at Leeds Beckett University, Kate Bancroft. On this episode, we begin by exploring Kate's PE teaching past as she shares her answers to the show favourite questions: - What currently excites you about PE? - What misconceptions about our subject should be banished to room 101? - What is your ideal PE lesson recipe? - What is your worst ever PE lesson and what did you learn from it? We then take a trip into Kate's recent research project as we discuss the experiences of transgender children in PE &amp; sport. Kate shares her research findings and the implications it has for us as practitioners. It also gave me the opportunity to reflect on having a transgender student in my year 5 class and the challenges that were presented. One thing is for sure, there is plenty of food for thought here... So what are you waiting for? Jump under the umbrella with us and join in the conversation by tweeting me @thepeumbrella. Note pad ready!
