Diversity and Equality in Leisure, Sport and Tourism

July 6-8, 2010 Hosted by Carnegie Faculty of Sport and Education, Leeds Metropolitan University, UK

The conference is intended for researchers, policymakers and professionals with an interest in matters of equality. As societies across the globe become characterised by greater diversity, and with growing interest in narrative in hybridity, increasing recognition is being given to the opportunities and threats presented by diversity. Presenters are invited to disseminate findings from research examining the (potential) role of leisure, sport and tourism in promoting and constraining equality.
