Leisure Sciences presents transdisciplinary scientific, theoretical, and conceptual inquiries into the study of leisure, here conceived of as the concept of leisure in society and behavior: leisure theory, leisure philosophy, the social psychology of leisure, and the sociology of leisure. Additionally, the study of related concepts such as parks and urban spaces, recreation and events, travel and tourism, environmental engagement and well-being are all welcome here. Articles that highlight theory, methodology, methods and advance the understanding of leisure receive priority for publication consideration
Articles cover:
- The social and psychological aspects of leisure
- The historical and anthropological representations of leisure
- The production of space for leisure
- The implications of leisure on society and populations
- The industry and function of leisure
- The political and sociocultural dimensions of leisure
The Journal also features methodological notes, philosophical essays, and policy treatises, and book reviews.
