The Journal of Urban Labour and Leisure
======================================
About The Journal of Urban Labour and Leisure.
The Journal of Urban Labour and Leisure, focuses on on-going and
emerging debates across a wide range of social science disciplines. It
is also a forum for contributors to consider the issues of the
contemporary employment experience. The focus is on practitioner,
academic and research based material stressing the dissemination
aspects of publication.
Many local urban economies are undergoing
radical transformations changing the face and content of urban living.
Urban areas are emerging from their industrial pasts to face
post-industrial challenges. The aim of this interdisciplinary journal
is to explore these challenges by investigating the relationship
between paid work and leisure. Increasingly cities and towns are
consumed as spaces of leisure and pleasure rather than identified with
industrial production. In turn, patterns of paid work and occupations
are now often entwined with these leisure activities. It is these
changes this journal investigates through a) regular articles, b)
special calls for papers, and c) review essays.
The Journal of Urban Labour and Leisure provides this
interdisciplinary outlet for all research relating to the
contemporary work and leisure practices of individuals today. Work
and leisure are an important aspect of contemporary society and need
to be seen together. The Journal of Urban Labour and Leisure
showcases how employment at the turn of the century is even more
integrated into people leisure lives as traditional industries are
disappearing.
The benefits of this form of communication are immense.
The Journal of Urban Labour and Leisure aims to collect together
people and information via the Internet. The potential contributory
revolutionaries might be researchers, university teachers, and
librarians - in fact anyone who is in the business of generating and
disseminating scholarly information.
The journal is freely available to all interested parties and at
present is to be published twice yearly, though this latter situation
will be reconsidered in the future, should demand increase. The
journal's readers will be able to:
Find out the latest research and applications of urban labour and
leisure research with a (free) subscription to their own electronic
journal (e-journal); Browse the Journal of Urban Labour and Leisure
library archive; Network with other members using the Member
Directory; Start and join in with member electronic conferences;
Place, free-of-charge, forthcoming conferences and short courses.
The forum section will provide member to member networking for those
who need to share and compare their work, or to discuss other issues
concerning electronic publishing. There is also free of charge
unlimited announcements of conferences, requests for help or joint
research. Access will be provided to a growing list of links to other
Internet sites that our readers may find of interest. And many more
benefits besides.
One of the key features of the Journal of Urban Labour and Leisure is
its mix of academic and practitioner articles and those considering
the relationship between the two. It also encourages those new to
publication be they recent lecturers or practitioners new to
publication, or postgraduate students undertaking detailed research.
In this way the Journal of Urban Labour and Leisure seeks to be
inclusive of all interested parties in this area. It thus address an
audience of researchers within academic and other research
organisations, and practitioners in the field.
