Biography
Dr. Jorge Knijnik was a Primary and Secondary Physical Education teacher in Brazil for several years, focusing his teaching on how boys and girls could play together, breaking gender boundaries. As a social and education worker, Jorge spent considerable time in the slums of Sao Paulo, where there are extensive and systematic human rights violations – including serious child abuse - introducing systematic initiatives to improve sanitation, minimise health problems (including sexuality programs), and promote accessible sport and exercise programs as alternatives from self-destructive or socially dysfunctional behaviours. Jorge has a strong commitment to issues on human rights, gender equity and social justice in sports and society in his broad career. His academical life started in 1992 in Brazil, and he has been a Senior Lecturer atUniversity of Sao Paulo, the largest one in South America. At University of Western Sydney, he’ s been trying to develop in the students the passion as well the commitment on health as well on personal development, sports and physical education issues, working with them to improve the quality of PDHPE classes around NSW schools.
