The Leisure Studies Association Annual Conference 2013 - 'Re-classing leisure: critical perspectives for a new era' takes place at the University of Salford from 9th-11th July.
Second Call for Papers, Deadline 30th April
Class is once again informing political and social discourse in Great Britain. It is therefore timely to re-invigorate academic debate around the relationship of class to the social distribution of leisure opportunity and practice. This conference will address questions concerning the meaning of social class, the influence of class on the consumption of leisure, the role of leisure in forming class identity, the mediation of class through everyday leisure, the impact of the withdrawal of public sector leisure provision on access to leisure opportunities and the relationships between class and leisure provision and planning.
