Academic career[edit]

Fitzpatrick qualified first as a teacher, and taught for seven years in secondary schools in South Auckland.[1] She worked as a lecturer in the Sport and Leisure Studies Department at the University of Waikato.[1] In 2010 Fitzpatrick completed a PhD titled Stop playing up! A critical ethnography of health, physical education and (sub)urban schooling at the University of Waikato.[2] Fitzpatrick then joined the faculty of the University of Auckland, rising to full professor.[3]

In 2014, whilst a senior lecturer at Auckland, Fitzpatrick was awarded a Rutherford Discovery Fellowship, for transdisciplinary research on youth health issues and how young people apply health knowledge.[1] Fitzpatrick's research includes health and wellbeing, physical education, mental health and sexuality education, critical pedagogy and critical ethnography.[3][4] Fitzpatrick led the writing of the Relationships and Sexuality education guidelines for the Ministry of Education, and co-led with Professor Melinda Webber the Ministry of Education policy on mental health education published in 2022, and accompanying teaching resources.[3]

Fitzpatrick has published a number of books. Her first, Critical Pedagogy, Physical Education and Urban Schooling (2013, Peter Lang) won the North American Society for the Sociology of Sport Outstanding Book Prize in 2013.[1]

In 2016, Fitzpatrick was awarded a Beeby Fellowship by the New Zealand Council for Educational Research, to produce a mental health teaching resource, and in 2021 the American Association of Research in Education awarded her the Catherine D. Ennis Outstanding Scholar Award.[5][6]
