Feminisms in Leisure Studies
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-138-09076-7 (ISBN)
Feminisms in Leisure Studies acknowledges and advances the contribution of feminist theories to leisure knowledge and research. Building upon the strong history of feminist leisure scholarship, the book reviews key feminist theories and offers an overview of a fourth wave of feminism and its relevance to leisure.
Written by a team of leading international feminist scholars, each chapter addresses a particular theoretical perspective, using examples from each author’s research to unpack methodological and substantive issues essential to leisure studies. Critically, this book moves beyond women, the emphasis of much gender scholarship to date, to focus on issues of feminism as connected to leisure scholarship more broadly.
This book is an important and engaging read for students and scholars of diversity, women’s studies, multiculturalism, social justice, gender studies, leisure studies, LGBTQQ studies, and feminist research.
Diana C. Parry is Associate Vice-President of Human Rights, Equity and Inclusion and Professor in Applied Health Sciences at the University of Waterloo, Canada. Utilizing a feminist lens to explore the personal and political links between women's leisure and women's health, Dr. Parry’s research privileges women's standpoints and aims to create social change and enact social justice by challenging the medical model of scholarship.
