The Meaning and Purpose of Leisure

Monday, 11 July 2016: 09:00-10:30
Location: Dachgeschoss (Juridicum)
RC13 Sociology of Leisure (host committee)

Language: English

In an ever-changing world leisure remains a space and an activity that is assumed to be good for people. In this session we want to encourage theorists and researchers to think about the meaning and purpose of leisure in contemporary society, and whether the idea that leisure is a social and moral good can still hold.
