CABI Publishing Women, Leisure and Tourism: Self-actualization
Book SynopsisWomen, Leisure and Tourism provides a comprehensive discussion of women, leisure, and tourism through the lens of leisure production and consumption, both by women and for women. Specifically, this text includes a multi-cultural perspective to highlight the unique attributes leisure brings to women, the role of women in leisure entrepreneurship, and the creation of supportive, inclusive environments to enhance female well-being through the examination of these activities in often overlooked populations. The diversity of women's leisure and tourism practices is best perceived through the links between various leisure practices (e.g., sport, outdoor recreation, travel and tourism, learning, crafts, events, family leisure), as well as an understanding of leisure production across cultures and life stages. These chapters bring to the forefront many of the challenges inherent in providing leisure and tourism that support the diverse needs of women, as well as a look at female innovation that is also often overlooked in leisure research. The book includes examples of both applied and conceptual chapters from global perspectives in academic studies. This book: - Is written by multi-disciplinary authors. - Includes case studies, research methodologies and pedagogical approaches to highlight the complexity of gender studies and provide a diverse toolkit to support further research on women and gender. - Presents applied and conceptual chapters from global perspectives in academic studies. This book is valuable for academics and graduate students of tourism, leisure and gender studies.Table of Contents1: Introduction: women as producers and consumers of leisure 2: An examination of female exceptionalism in early leisure placemaking activities 3: Masculinity and moral licensing in the locker room: a critical analysis of culture, gender, and leisure 4: Sport for women in later life 5: History and identity: female vendors at a Renaissance Festival 6: By her own hand: Creativity, crafts and commerce 7: Creating a culture of consent for event tourism 8: Older women and leisure 9: Non-formal learning participation as leisure for Syrian refugee women in Turkey 10: Running away or running toward?

Taylor & Francis Ltd Youth Sport and Social Capital
Book SynopsisThis book examines the youth sport parent experience through the lens of social capital, a cornerstone social science concept of the past 30 years.

Bringing together a team of kids for a season also brings together their families who all must negotiate this new social world. Within this world, relationships are bound to form, and these are the foundation upon which this project rests.Youth sport scholars have traditionally been interested in questions such as: how many kids play sports, what sports they play, how and why do they start playing and stop playing, and the costs and benefit of participation. However, aside from sensational examples of youth sport parents behaving badly, scholars know far less about the parental experience. This time is meaningful for parents, because parents often spend as much or even more time at the fieTable of Contents1. Introduction: youth sport and social capital 2.
