With 3 dissertation chapters written and behind me, and data analysis and writing continuing, I'm looking forward to attending the Canadian Conference on Leisure Research at Dalhousie University in Halifax (May 20-23, 2014). I'll be presenting a paper entitled " Re-Conceptualizing Serious Leisure: Defining Leisure as Experience in Everyday Life". I'm very excited to meet a whole new group of researchers and learn about different ways of looking at leisure information behaviours!
