Making meaning of the smallest units of leisure
Building on earlier work conceptualising everyday moments of leisure (EML) as momentary forms of leisure experienced amidst ordinary spaces and activities, this phenomenological research sought to understand how momentary leisure experiences come to occur in people’s lives, the characteristics of such experiences and the meanings attributed to them. Data collection involved interviews with 20 individuals who engaged in up to three interviews abou…

Increased polarisation and unwillingness to engage with difference create obstacles to addressing complex societal challenges. This can be observed across numerous countries in relation to controversial issues such as climate change, immigration, inequality, housing affordability and racial justice. In this article, we explore the potential for ‘constructive discussion’ to help address these societal challenges. Constructive discussion emphasises…

In 1986, Przemyslaw Prusinkiewicz introduced a simple method of producing relatively complex musical scores that incorporate a legible internal structure. Using a scheme called edge-rewriting, one of the authors, Stephanie Mason, has extended Prusinkiewicz’s methods to generate melodi…
