Conference aims
The Conference Committee invites the submission of abstracts for papers that align with the aims of the conference:
- To facilitate critical and creative dialogue that responds to the sociopolitical complexity of leisure practices, formations, and organisation in contemporary life.
- To invite diverse disciplinary perspectives, methodological and theoretical approaches from within, and beyond the field, to situate the study of leisure within in a post-disciplinary future.
The conference seeks to mobilise critical and creative insights, relationships and collaborations between academics, and also with non-academic participants who have been involved in co-created research (artists, activists, policy makers and professionals).
Conference themes
Six themes have been identified around leisure problematics, contexts, and interrelated matters of concern. These are:
- Digital and physical cultures
- Embodied health and well-being
- Critical pedagogies in public and education spaces
- Co-creating research: innovative methodologies
- Inequality, power, and change
- Sustainable communities: people and places
