Sociology and leisure research

Roberts, K. (1980). Sociology and leisure research. Manchester, UK: The Centre for Leisure Studies, University of Salford, Salford 5.

Sociologists of leisure are notoriously marginal creatures. Complaints of lacking recognition within their own discipline are legion, and within the inter-disciplinary field of leisure studies their contribution has been marginal. This document argues for a better deal; that the time is ripe for the sociology of leisure to adopt a strident posture, to stake its claims both as an entirely proper sociological specialism, and as a foundation discipline for future leisure research. Leisure studies in general and the leisure industries will benefit from a stronger sociological input.
