ANZALS October Webinar: Leisure and Health Special Interest Group Book Launch

Tuesday, 4 October 2022

Presented by: Dr Hazel Maxwell, Dr Richard McGrath, Dr Nicole Peel, and Dr Janette Young 

On Tuesday 4th October ANZALS hosted the webinar book launch of Exploring the Leisure-Health Nexus: Pushing Global Boundaries in conjunction with the book’s co-editors, Drs Hazel Maxwell, Richard McGrath, Nicole Peel & Janette Young.

The CABI publication was a result of the co-editors being involved in the ANZALS Leisure & Health Special Interest Group as well as an Annals of Leisure Research Special Issue co-edited by Drs Hazel Maxwell, Nicole Peel & Janette Young.

The edited book explores past, current, and future intersections between leisure and health, drawing on research and academic thought to reveal and critique the nuanced ways that leisure impacts health as well as considers how health professions use leisure as a ‘tool’.

The event was facilitated by ANZALS Board Member Dr Richard Wright and included recorded presentations by the various chapter authors as well as a Q&A session with the co-editors.
