I had heard Mat Duerden present his paper at the 2019 NRPA Conference and I appreciated his logical and scholarly presentation of experience design/management. However, despite his well-articulated thesis and evidence of how well it was working at his university, I was no more convinced than before that this direction was the way to go in expanding and understanding our field. I thought it would be reasonably easy to react to the arguments Duerden (2022) presented, although I had some discomfort with whether or not I could add anything new to the discussion. In light of everything that has happened in 2020 related to Covid-19 and the continuing discussions of racial inequality and white privilege, I now wonder if a discussion about what we call leisure is really important in the big scope of the world in which we now live. It seems that issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), human health, and ecological sustainability ought to be where leisure scholars put their energy. I was even more convinced of this needed approach after reading many of the critical commentaries that appeared in the recent special issue of Leisure Sciences (Lashua et al., 2021). The authors of these commentaries challenged readers to re-think everything about leisure. Lashua et al. suggested that perhaps leisure should be re-appraised regarding what has been “uncritically accepted, environmentally unsustainable, and systematically oppressive during normal times” (p. 5). Therefore, although I applaud Duerden’s (2022) efforts, I believe more than ever the focus of leisure studies/sciences ought to be re-thinking how it contributes to a broader social and environmental agenda. It is not a matter of context or experience, but both and how they contribute to human and community growth and development. Duerden indicated that leisure ought “to play a role in helping individuals find meaning and fulfillment across the contexts of their lives” (p. 167) I do not dispute this idea, but I think professionals need to look upon the broader social implications of leisure. A focus on individual experience is not enough. The needed meanings of leisure must go beyond designing experiences to encompass questions about whose experience and what the consequences of such experiences are. The discussion is not an either/or question but both/ and. It is not about changing terminology or names of departments, but about the milieu of community life and how leisure contributes to social and environmental outcomes. I have been an advocate for focusing on making leisure a better understood concept for years. I have argued (e.g., Henderson, 2010, 2011) that leisure studies is not dead and that what researchers, educators, and practitioners need to do is to elevate its}, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF LEISURE RESEARCH}, author={Henderson, Karla A.}, year={2022}, month={Mar}, pages={180–182} } @article{moore_henderson_2018, title={"Like precious gold": Recreation in the lives of low-income committed couples}, volume={49}, ISSN={["2159-6417"]}, DOI={10.1080/00222216.2018.1457307}, abstractNote={ABSTRACT Financial stress can heighten pressure and conflict within couple relationships.

In the past 20–30 years, lifestyle changes have contributed to rising rates of obesity, impaired social skills, and increased stress leading to negative influences on the lives of children, adults, and families. Some of these issues have been attributed to the lack of connection that people have with nature. Louv referred to this condition as nature deficit disorder. As the evidence mounts that reconnecting children to nature is important, the potential of nature-based recreation for enhancing the lives of all individuals should be considered. The focus of this special issue of Leisure Sciences is on examining and re-examining the nexus of people and nature related to recreation and leisure. Although past leisure research has focused on the human dimensions of outdoor recreation environments, this special issue addresses expanded ways to understand nature and recreation as a milieu for leisure development among diverse groups of people. Dustin, Bricker, and Schwab’s invited article outlines an ecological approach to health promotion. They contend that being in the outdoors is important to individual health as well as to the health of the planet. Their essay calls for new leisure research approaches to address how outdoor environments contribute to health promotion in a myriad of ways. Using a gender-based qualitative interview design, Cosgriff, Little, and Wilson explored the context of outdoor leisure for Aotearoa-New Zealand women. These researchers showed how nature might be re-examined with a focus on connections to nature through sensory experiences, being part of nature, and in using a variety of words to explain its meanings.

A model is proposed that identifies potential environmental and policy influences on four domains of active living: recreation, transport, occupation, and household. Multilevel research and interventions require multiple disciplines to combine concepts and methods to create new transdisciplinary approaches. The contributions being made by a broad range of disciplines are summarized. Research to date supports a conclusion that there are multiple levels of influence on physical activity, and the active living domains are associated with different environmental variables. Continued research is needed to provide detailed findings that can inform improved designs of communities, transportation systems, and recreation facilities. Collaborations with policy researchers may improve the likelihood of translating research findings into changes in environments, policies, and practices. }, journal={Annual Review of Public Health}, author={Sallis, J.

Researchers revealed how gender relates not only to leisure activities and behaviours, but also to the experiences and meanings of leisure in everyday life. The gender stereotyping of activities, evident in many realms of leisure practice, was shown to be associated with gendered opportunities, constraints, and patterns of time use. Men’s time was seen as segmented with often a clear differentiation between work and non-work, and men seemed to have a greater availability of leisure activities and relaxation. The more holistic nature of women’s lives, despite dramatic increases in labour market participation of some groups of women in the later years of the twentieth century, was seen to reflect women’s caregiving roles, family responsibilities, and the lack of access to leisure that was free of socially prescribed obligations.}, booktitle={Handbook of leisure studies}, publisher={London: Routledge}, author={Henderson, K.

I applaud her efforts to offer a way of thinking about individual discriminatory behavior applied to leisure settings. Emerging conceptual models give new insight for research and practice. In reading the paper(s), I felt overwhelmed with the plethora of ideas related to one another and to understanding “society in leisure” (Coalter, 1999, p. 508). Stodolska’s examination of discrimination stretches researchers toward an ongoing analysis of the complexity of behavior related to attitudes and participation. She has also described the importance of examining constraints by focusing on antecedents and institutional conditions influencing behavior. Since I have an opportunity to comment on this paper, I would like to reinforce several of the points Stodolska articulates and examine further applications of these ideas. I realize it is always easier to criticize an idea or an outcome than it is to recommend concrete changes, but critiques are necessary for a growing body of knowledge. The paper provides a foundation for testing hypotheses and theories and raises queries that can be incorporated into future research. The paper may be seen as totally obsolete (or totally brilliant) ten years from now, but by that time researchers hopefully will have consciously and unconsciously incorporated either the critique or the foundation for this work into their research. Rather than discuss the specific points of these papers, I focus on some of the issues that this paper raised for me. Stodolska’s work offers a rich “playground” for exploring these ideas. Stodolska seems to address two different but interrelated upshots concerning discrimination. One aspect is discrimination within the leisure workforce, and the second is discrimination influencing leisure participation. Possible discrimination regarding women (e.g., Shinew, Anderson, & Arnold, 2000), gay and lesbian people (e.g., Henderson, 1995), and people of color (e.g., Hibbler & Shinew, 1999) within the workforce have been discussed in the leisure literature. Many of the findings parallel what has been found in other human service organizations. Only within the past ten years has a serious study of discrimination in leisure participation been addressed in our field (e.g., Floyd, 1998; Gobster, 1998; McDonald & McAvoy, 1997). Leisure services may or may not hold a uniqueness that suggests we should examine contextual dimensions of organizations that might have specific implications for leisure programming and management. I continue to wonder how or why leisure could be a venue for potential discrimination different from other arenas such as education.

Suggestions regarding community improvements by multiple sectors of the community (government, non-profit organisations, voluntary organisations, private organisations and leisure time organisations) were also elicited from the study participants. Design: An exploratory study using qualitative methods was designed using the socio-ecological framework to guide question development. A purposive sample to reflect the community's demographics was selected. Attention was given to within-group homogeneity. Data were collected during a three-month period. Setting: The research was conducted in a southeastern US city of approximately 45,000 residents within a county of over 100,000 residents. Methods: An experienced, Master's level moderator facilitated six focus groups (n=53). The discussions were tape recorded and supplemented with detailed notes. Concepts were extracted by qualitative coding and analysis. Results: Barriers included availability/accessibility of facilities; low social support and few social models; time constraints; racial/cultural barriers; safety; lack of infrastructure (sidewalk, trails); and lack of community walkability. Supports included public and private facilities, good climate, and programming at many venues. Suggestions for change include public education, advocacy efforts, infrastructure improvement and supportive policy change. Conclusions: The socio-ecological model is an effective tool for conceptualising information about the many influences on and indicators for physical activity behaviour because it gives equal attention to each level of potential influence on physical activity behaviour (intrapersonal, interpersonal, organisational, community and policy/societal). The focus group process is an effective means for citizens to identify the factors affecting their physical activity behaviour because it solicits responses about participants' lived experiences without the restricted response categories that quantitative methods impose. Findings are relevant to intervention planning to increase physical activity. Participation in focus group research may also stimulate an interest for action towards community change.}, number={2}, journal={International Journal of Health Promotion and Education}, author={Royce, S.

The term "leisure" was interpreted from a cultural perspective as being lazy. These women also had difficulty understanding the meaning of "intensity" (e.g., "moderate", "vigorous"). Researchers must acknowledge and understand inconsistencies that arise and how these might influence design of, and responses to, self-report assessment of physical activity.}, number={5}, journal={WOMENS HEALTH ISSUES}, author={Tudor-Locke, C and Henderson, KA and Wilcox, S and Cooper, RS and Durstine, JL and Ainsworth, BE}, year={2003}, pages={194–199} } @article{henderson_2003, title={Parks and recreation in active cities}, volume={157}, number={Fall}, journal={Progressive Planning}, author={Henderson, K.

The meanings of terms can also be a problem when gender, environmental, class, and sociocultural factors influence people's understandings. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to describe problems inherent in researching leisure and women from global perspectives. The clarifying of terms is an essential part of building the body of knowledge for a scholarly study of leisure. If researchers and practitioners are to understand women's leisure both within and between cultures around the world, scholars must try to understand the inconsistencies of definitions that arise and how these variations might influence theory building. Cultural contexts may result in diverse definitions. Some representations of leisure, however, also seem to exist that are recognized and shared across groups. For this discussion, we address ongoing concerns regarding the definitions and meanings of leisure, examples of cultural connotations and perspectives, and issues regarding language translations applied to an understanding of women and leisure.}, number={4}, journal={World Leisure Journal}, author={Juniu, S. and Henderson, K.

Research from the Centers for Disease Control, however, has shown that fewer than 30% of minority women in the United States obtain sufficient amounts of moderate activity to derive physical and mental health benefits. The Cross Cultural Activity Participation Study was designed to measure physical activity habits in African American and American Indian women and to develop and validate a set of surveys to measure moderate physical activity. A qualitative component was included as part of the larger study to obtain additional information about the psychosocial context and sociocultural meanings of physical activity and perceptions of leisure.

The trends and the examples that struck me the most related to the movement from "either/or to multiple option" (p. 231). He noted that through much of the century, we had two or maybe three choices. We could have chocolate or vanilla ice cream with maybe strawberry thrown in occasionally We had our choice of a Chevy or a Ford. In the 1970s, things began to change. We now had Baskin Robbins 31 flavors of ice cream. We had cars available manufactured all over the world. Our lives were transformed with the evolution to a multiple option society. How positive it is to have choices. Yet, how overwhelming it can be to sort through the choices and make decisions. The area of leisure research, as well as the broader field of the social sciences, has evolved to a multiple option world. In a recent article in the Chronicle of Higher Education, Feagin (1999) described the possible crisis facing sociology related to encouraging "greater intellectual diversity" (p. B4). The best way to describe our new world of research is no longer "either/ or" but rather "both/and." These shifts parallel postmodernism to some extent, and they suggest no totally right or wrong approaches. For leisure researchers, the expansion beyond binary thinking to more intellectual diversity provides a strong anchor. All of us in this field recognize the changes, and yet I am not sure that we appreciate the value and the challenges that these multiple options hold. Some of this discussion may sound familiar. I believe, however, it is useful to place some of the false dichotomies on the table so we can articulate the changes that are occurring in leisure research. I will discuss six false dichotomies (i.e., either/or premises) that leisure researchers are addressing as we move to the next millennium. Either/Or Premises Qualitative/Quantitative. The debate over what data are best is fortunately over in our field. For the most part, the evolution to qualitative research as a viable approach to leisure research was steady and quiet. The goal of research ought to be to study phenomena as thoroughly, broadly, and deeply as time, energy, and resources allow. The value of quantitative data is that they can produce factual, reliable, outcome information that may be generalized. Qualitative data generate rich, valid, detailed, process information that leaves the study participants' perspectives intact and provides an insider's view to better understand a phenomenon under study. We know that some approaches work better for particular research problems than others. Despite the objections of a few purists, we see examples of how qualitative and quantitative data can be linked. Linking data allows researchers to accept the assumptions, and limitations, of using both qualitative and quantitative data to create broader perspectives (Henderson, Ainsworth, Stolarzyck, Hootman, & Levin, 1999). The days of either/or methods have been replaced with numerous choices of methods. The challenge lies in researchers carefully rationalizing the choices they make, and readers and reviewers being able to critically evaluate the rigor and the theoretical value of the options chosen. Researchers/Practitioners. The notion of a researcher and practitioner gap is a false dichotomy that needs examination in the future. None of us are solely one or the other. Further, in this complex world, we need collaboration between and within both positions. This discussion might lead us to also examine the duality of evaluation and research or the difference between the questions asked of "does it work?" and "how does it contribute to the body of knowledge?" These questions are not mutually exclusive. The opportunities for data collection and problem solving are the same whether one is a researcher or a practitioner or whether an individual is doing evaluation or doing research. The issues and social ills that both leisure researchers and practitioners want to address in contributing to the quality of life for all individuals are not dissimilar. …}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF LEISURE RESEARCH}, author={Henderson, KA}, year={2000}, pages={49–53} } @inbook{henderson_2000, title={Gender inclusion as a recreation trend}, ISBN={0851994032}, DOI={10.1079/9780851994031.0017}, booktitle={Trends in outdoor recreation, leisure and tourism}, publisher={Wallingford, UK: CAB International}, author={Henderson, K.

Seldom have leisure researchers, except in the area of outdoor recreation, examined the prominence of geography or space as it contributes to the recreation experience (Wearing, 1996). What enables public space in cities or private space at home to become a place for leisure? Further, how are these sites used as opportunities for empowerment and as sites of resistance? The purpose of this paper is to share some reflections and propose the need to explore the relationship between space and the creation of place related to the theorized meanings of leisure for individuals and groups. We identified six approaches for discussing these connections: place as a container, placelessness, place and time, place as a state of mind, identity and social relationships, and place and power. An overarching theme is that a space cannot be disassociated from the practice of the people who use the space and define the place.

We used a grounded theory approach to analyze data from in-depth qualitative interviews conducted with 56 African American and American Indian women in the United States. Based upon the analysis complex social dynamics occurred that both encouraged and inhibited women’s involvement in physical activities.

Some of these individuals also completed a 45- to 120-min qualitative interview. Standard protocols for measurement and interviewing were followed. The quantitative data gave baseline information, and the in-depth interviews provided a greater psychosocial understanding of the physical activity of these women of color. This research note demonstrates how the linking of two types of data provided a holistic understanding of the physical activity of these women of color and offered some additional information regarding how data types might be used in leisure research.}, number={3}, journal={LEISURE SCIENCES}, author={Henderson, KA and Ainsworth, BE and Stolarzcyk, LM and Hootman, JM and Levin, S}, year={1999}, pages={247–255} } @article{hodges_henderson_1999, title={Promoting the physical activity objectives in the Surgeon General's Report: A summary}, volume={70}, DOI={10.1080/07303084.1999.10605893}, journal={Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance}, author={Hodges, J.

In a published comment about the article several months later, Smears (1996) stated: If the interpretive paradigm is the basis of the research then the links between how epistemology informs methodology in qualitative research might be explored. For example, the qualitative methods applied give little indication of the relationships between the researcher and the researched. Just as there are issues about whether men can adequately interview women...there are questions around the significance of non-disabled researchers (however empathetic) interviewing disabled women (p. 80). The point made by Smears was well taken, but I was perplexed by questions about how research ought to be done if the researcher was, or was not, a member of the studied group. In almost all areas of the social sciences, including leisure research, the 1990s has heralded an awareness of diversity in our society. An acknowledgment of these diverse populations, however, has not compensated for the lack of research. Because few studies have targeted specific diverse groups, the current instruments may not accurately assess the leisure behaviors of some individuals. I discovered, however, that a number of researchers have begun to do research on diverse groups (e.g., Carr & Williams, 1993; Floyd, Shinew, McGuire, & Noe, 1994; Henderson, Winn, & Roberts, 1996; MacKay, 1996; Roberts & Drogin, 1993; Silverberg, Backman, & Backman, 1996; as well as many others who have studied people with disabilities) and are seeking strategies for how to do it best (e.g., Allison, 1988; Hutchinson, 1988; Jacobson, Yaffe, & Sheldon, 1995). As I tried to better understand the arguments about whether or not a researcher ought to be a member of the group researched, I came upon other issues about researching diverse populations that were relevant. Diverse populations are defined as people in the non-dominant social system who have been traditionally underresearched and underserved. Examples of groups might include women, people of color, people with disabilities, low income people, gays and lesbians, older adults, people for whom English is not their first language, high risk youth, and others. Not all these groups have a uniqueness that makes gathering data different from dominant groups in society, but leisure researchers might do a better job of including these groups and designing research strategies if potential differences and uniquenesses are considered. The definition of diverse is somewhat problematic. For example, we have inadequate constructs of race and ethnicity (Hutchinson, 1988). Further, such groups as white women might be a part of the dominant social system as might older men even though they also represent aspects of the non-dominant system. In addition, even among diverse or traditionally defined minority groups, a great deal of diversity exists making generalizations within groups, let alone across groups, difficult. Nevertheless, I use the term diverse populations in this paper to describe groups in our society that have often been considered out of the mainstream or "special" because of the uniqueness of their social, cultural, and historical experiences. My own interest in the subject of researching diverse populations has been emerging for a number of years as I've addressed the invisibility of women in research on leisure behavior. For example, by going beyond the concept of biological sex as the only defining characteristic between men and women, most feminist researchers acknowledge the need to illuminate the possible differences and historical-cultural specificity among women. Just as feminists have been critical of the patriarchy for not acknowledging the contributions of women, we can also be critical of how women studying women sometimes have ignored diversity issues (hooks,1989). …}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF LEISURE RESEARCH}, author={Henderson, KA}, year={1998}, pages={157–170} } @article{henderson_1998, title={The future of recreation and leisure}, journal={Journal of Interdisciplinary Research in Physical Education}, author={Henderson, K.

The purpose of this paper is to extend an integrative review undertaken in 1990 to ascertain what we know about women's leisure in 1996. An integrative review was the strategy for reviewing research that focused on inferring generalizations about substantive issues from a set of studies directly bearing on these issues. The analyses resulted in three themes grounded in the literature of the past six years along with guiding hypotheses developed within each theme. The "megathemes" included gender, continua of meanings, and diversity. KEYWORDS: women, gender; feminism, diversity, meanings, leisure, social change Introduction Until 15 years ago, women's leisure was an invisible area of study relatively devoid of theory. Attempts to make generalizations about the common world of women with a focus on understanding the social psychological "meaning" of women's leisure in a one size fits all approach have been the focus of the past decade. These attempts at generating universal understandings have been a necessary, but insufficient, step for understanding leisure behavior. The research about feminism and women's leisure in the 1990s is now moving into a discourse about the inability and inadequacy of determining that one leisure size fits all. As Dustin (1992) suggested, we must return to the same starting point if we are to begin anew our quest for a greater understanding. The new quest, however, has shifted from "meaning" to "meanings" regarding women's leisure. This shift also parallels the role of the new wave of thinking about feminism from totalizing and universalizing women's experiences to seeing the need for many feminisms (Henderson, Bialeschki, Shaw, & Freysinger, 1996). The purpose of this paper is to extend the integrative review undertaken in 1990 (Henderson, 1990a) to ascertain what is known about women's leisure in 1996. In this earlier review, the stated purpose was to synthesize the literature to explore the complex interrelationships and dimensions of women's lives. I concluded that frameworks for understanding women's leisure were emerging, a variety of methods were being used, and possibilities existed for empowering women through continued leisure research (Henderson, 1990a). Further, I suggested that a "meaning" was emerging (i.e., women share a common world in their inequality in leisure when compared to male privilege, social interactions represent a common focus of women's leisure, women tend to use the home and nonstructured activities as the primary place and means for leisure expression, much of women's leisure is fragmented, and many women do not feel they are entitled to leisure). The reality is that a single meaning has not manifested itself in the past six years, as will be shown in this updated integrative review. Rather, numerous meanings have arisen based on the life situations of women and the changing nature of the understanding of gender and leisure. Background: Finding the Right Fit In the past few years, researchers have constructed a body of knowledge about women's leisure. We have begun to move from using gender as a variable to making it a central theoretical concept. The main North American concerns, as well as those of other Western countries, have been in exploring women's experiences of leisure within the context of women's lives (Yule, 1992). For example, we have learned about social psychological ideas such as the ethic of caring (e.g., Gilligan, 1982) that drives many of the decisions about what women do with their "free" time (e.g., Henderson & Allen, 1991; Harrington, Dawson, & Bolla, 1992). Scraton (1994) suggested that studies done in Britain (e.g., Deem, 1986; Green, Hebron, & Woodward, 1987) about women's leisure have resulted in structural analyses such as problematizing the definition of leisure and situating leisure within the holistic context of women's lives. …}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF LEISURE RESEARCH}, author={Henderson, KA}, year={1996}, pages={139–154} } @inbook{henderson_bialeschki_1996, title={Recreation management with girls and women in mind}, booktitle={Recreation, sport, culture, and tourism for the 21st century}, publisher={Hong Kong: Hong Kong Baptist University}, author={Henderson, K.

Several differences emerged between women and men in terms of the intensity and nature of the constraints, leading to the conclusion that women are overall more constrained in their leisure than men. The data also demonstrate that the experience of leisure constraints is characterized by as many within‐gender differences as between‐gender differences. Selected context variables related to age, income, and family structure are mediating factors that alter, reinforce, or alleviate constraints for women, depending on the nature of the context and on the type of constraint.

The yin-yang usually refers to opposites such as femi­ nine and masculine, although the idea may be more broadly related to any apparent dualism one might encounter such as subject-object, question-answer, space-time, spontaneous-planned. Within every aspect of life, a counterforce interacts with another force to create a balance. One concept is interdependent with the other. For example, without darkness there would be no concept for light. Thus, the Taoist theory of yin-yang is a concept that unifies all opposi tes .

The findings from a 24-hour time budget indicated that the home was the primary site for leisure for all the women, that homemakers experienced more leisure in activities done alone than did employed women, and that all of the women associated a high degree of choice with leisure. The importance placed on perceived choice supports this aspect of Neulinger's paradigm of leisure, but the fact that leisure was experienced in situations in which choice was clearly restricted suggests that further variables need to be investigated.}, journal={Leisure Studies}, author={Bialeschki, M.

However, many parallels exist between volunteerism and leisure. It is likely in the future that volunteer work will become more closely aligned with emerging definitions of leisure. The purpose of this paper is to discuss a holistic definition of leisure, to describe what leisure means, and to illustrate how an understanding of what motivates people for leisure can also be a basis for motivating them to volunteer. Volunteerism will be discussed from the perspective of an experience rather than as work. The thesis of this article is that volunteerism does possess the components of leisure. The more satisfied a person is with the leisure aspects of volunteering, the more likely that individual will be to volunteer initially and to continue to volunteer.}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF VOLUNTARY ACTION RESEARCH}, author={HENDERSON, K}, year={1984}, pages={55–63} } @article{henderson_cooper_1983, title={Characteristics of campers in private and state-owned campgrounds in Wisconsin}, volume={22}, DOI={10.1177/004728758302200103}, abstractNote={ Campers at private Wisconsin campgrounds seek a variety of activities, opportunities for the family to be together, and chances for socializing.
