Call for Papers | “Lockdown Leisure”, Special issue of Leisure Studies | Call ends February 7, 2022
The special issues explores the medium to long-term impacts of lockdowns, drawing inspiration from Ken Roberts’ ‘Lock down leisure in Britain’ (Leisure Studies 39(5): 617-628), but other questions emerge. These include: How have socially distanced, isolated and bubbled sociality affected leisure? How might leisure lives have been ‘sanitised’ through the lockdown? How have these issues affected different demographics in different ways? How have new leisure providers developed and what does this mean for older providers? How do these trends pan out internationally?
