About OPEN STREAM submissions

In addition to papers addressing one of the main conference themes, novel research outside these thematic foci is also welcome.
The open stream of the conference is designed to encourage / enable conference participation for Members and others for whom the current year's theme is not within their particular area of interest, but have a contribution to make to leisure studies theory, methodology, policy and pedagogy.
The open stream will thus offer a forum for novel research papers that engage with key debates in the development of the subject field of leisure studies in addition to critical issues emanating from specific leisure research projects.
NOTE >>>> A limited number of slots will be allotted for the open stream presentations. Prospective presenters with questions about 'open stream' papers are encouraged to contact
LeisureExperiences2009@canterbury.ac.uk.

The same guidelines as for Main theme proposals should be followed.
