Serious Leisure
How do we create space and identities for ourselves outside work and with so many pressures should we even try? Listen to how our guests achieve their work-life balance.
In this podcast we discuss Robert Stebbins’ landmark concept of Serious Leisure and how it can help us re-evaluate the place of leisure in our lives. Guests from the Higher Education sector share their experiences of making time for different pursuits and why it matters. In each episode we wrestle with the quest for a balanced life and an authentic self through the remarkable, humorous and unexpected experiences that happen when we get serious about leisure.
The podcast is produced at UWE Bristol and hosted by:
- Dr Petia Petrova, Associate Director of Academic Practice at UWE Bristol (University of the West of England)
- Kat Branch, Leader of UWE Bristol’s Centre for Music
- Professor Sam Elkington, the co-author of ‘The Serious Leisure Perspective’, Teesside University
