Leisure provision and refugee settlement
This scoping review explores what is known about the role of leisure provision by not-for-profit (NFP) organizations in supporting refugee settlement, with a focus on the Australian context.

While government programs deliver structured support, the integration of leisure into settlement services remains underexplored. Guided by the …
Bridging the researcher-stakeholder gap in leisure and tourism
Scoping reviews are instrumental for synthesizing evidence and mapping research landscapes, but effective stakeholder engagement is also essential to ensure their relevance to both practice and policy.

In stark contrast to the benefits of the lifestyle prior to the pandemic, this paper outlines five emerging challenges facing OzNomads: displacement, marginalization, social is…

Informed by the Counterspace Framework, this paper seeks to address the gap at the nexus of leisure, events and marginalisation by considering the case of the New Beginnings Festival in Sydney. Using hybrid thematic analysis and based on data collected through participant observat…
Who is seen to be doing business research, and does it really matter? Gender representation at academic conferences
Purpose Gender inequality is evident in many academic practices, but research has often focused on the male-dominated science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. This study responds to calls for more work in the business disciplines which have been overlooked by comparison and focuses on academic conferences as a higher education practice. Conferences are manifestations of the research being conducted within the discipline, re…
