Under the theme of “Re-creating Leisure”, the 2023 LSA Conference will bring together an interdisciplinary field of researchers, educators, students, practitioners and policymakers to share visions, expertise, experiences to critically examine how leisure practices, spaces, and domains are theorised, researched, and experienced. Recent global events have dramatically underlined the significance of making sense of leisure in times of planetary upheaval. 

The Leisure Studies Association is delighted to open the first call for abstracts for its annual conference in 2020. The conference offers the opportunity to explore leisure from a range of disciplinary perspectives, and to learn from industry and policy practitioners. We welcome submissions that address the core themes of the conference: leisure pasts, presents and futures, and are open to those that address any other area of leisure research, teaching and practice.

We are now accepting abstracts for conference presentations for the 2019 Leisure Studies Association Conference. The diverse nature of leisure has the potential to change lives. This conference focuses on how leisure changes lives through research, education and practice. Abstracts of no more than 300 words should be provided on a Microsoft Word document.

Submissions should be theoretically and/or conceptually informed and engage with the myriad ways dance movement reflects and upholds value systems, but also how dance might shape and potentially disrupt and provoke such systems in the cultural spaces of leisure scholarship, leisure-based communities, and in popular culture.
