This subject introduces students to different ways of theorising issues in leisure and health. It specifically explores how leisure and health experiences are shaped, or mediated, by everyday social and cultural processes. One of the most important social processes that affects the way people think, speak and write about leisure, is language. In students' personal and professional lives they shall examine how language works to mediate their knowledge of leisure and health. This subject has been structured around four modules that build on the concepts of metaphor, narrative and discourses of leisure and health. In this way the student will develop skills in theorising, analysing and writing about the way leisure and health experiences have been socially constructed.
No offerings have been identified for this subject in 2019.
