Hello All:
Here is a list of all of the RTS sponsored sessions that I have posted
previously.  I am not aware of the status of these sessions - some may be fully
subscribed (I've noted 2 below that are). Others may have been 'abandoned' due
to lack of response to the CFP at this point. I am aware however that, due to
the early deadline, a significant number of presenters are only now getting
their abstracts prepared.

I have not listed details of the sessions below as it would take up too much
space but if you need more information (or no longer have access to previous RTS
messages that I have sent) please contact the organizer of the session or myself
as soon as possible.

The deadline *SEPTEMBER 28* is fast approaching for all abstracts and sessions
to be submitted online. For those hoping to present in organized sessions make
sure that you send details of your paper and your PIN to the session organizer.

If you paper does not fit into a session be sure to submit your abstract and we
will see if there are other single papers that we can meaningfully organize into
RTS sessions.

FOR SESSION ORGANIZERS - if you are still in need of papers to fill out your
sessions be sure to check the Conference website to find unallocated papers that
may fit.

Best wishes
Alison

agill@...

Hello All:
Further to my list of proposed sessions sent yesterday - two additions.

1. There is still space in the "Theoretical developments in tourism" session
organized by Daniel Knudsen <knudsen@...>

2.  A NEW CFP

"Privatization and bio-conservation: exploring social/ecological trends"

Organizers:
Jason Abdilla and Melissa Wiggins  (University of Colorado Denver)

Public conservation has waned considerably since the mid-19th century, alongside
increased interest among private landowners and non-governmental organizations
to establish and maintain conservation easements. Easements have been criticized
for enclosing landscapes and resources away from the public in order to promote
private gain. Nevertheless, easements have been shown to effectively protect
landscapes, ecosystems, and wildlife from development. As the number of
easements continues to grow every year, we must consider pressing questions such
as what types of landscapes are being conserved, what types of protection are
they receiving, and who is benefiting from these conservation mechanisms. This
paper session seeks to explore these and many other facets of of
‘neoliberal’ conservation at the local, regional, and (inter)national
scales.

Topics for papers can include:

·     --- Work that considers spatial and temporal trends in easement
conservation

·     --- Efforts to categorize and organize easements by use, management,
landscape, ecosystem type

·     --- Analysis of private and market-based approaches to conservation, and
how these trends affect the broader goals and aims of easement agreements

·      --- Neoliberalism, enclosures, and the commodification of nature

·      --- Cooperation of NGOs

·      --- Contestations and criticism from public or private conservation
groups

·       --- Ecosystem quality and fragmentation


If interested, please send abstracts to Jason Abdilla
(jason.abdilla@...) or Melissa Wiggins (melissa.wiggins@...)
by September 28, 2011.

Call for papers

International conference

Gender issues: Implications for leisure and tourism

March 1^st-3^rd, 2012

University of Aveiro, Portugal

Conference focus and aims

Over the last decades tourism has become one of the major international economic activities, creating much needed employment and economic development worldwide. The project report “Gender and tourism: Women’s employment and participation in tourism” developed by UNED-UK in 1998, demonstrated that, in what concerns gender employment, tourism is an important sector for women. The percentage of women in tourism employment is generally higher than in other sectors, particularly in countries where tourism is a more mature industry. However, just like in many other sectors, women are much more likely to be employed on a part time basis (temporary and seasonal employment), and being paid less than men are. The tourism sector has also a significant horizontal and vertical gender segregation of the labour market. Horizontally, man and woman are placed in different occupations; and vertically, lower levels and occupations with few career development opportunities are dominated by women. On the opposite, key managerial positions are dominated by men, despite women around the world possessing higher levels of education.

“Tourism opens doors for women” was the theme for the United Nations’ World Tourism Day in 2007, in order to increase public awareness of the great opportunities that the tourism sector provides to women, and to highlight some issues that still need to be revolved around, which are relevant to Millennium Development Goals, such as ensuring income parity, raising employment quality, creating reasonable workplace conditions and penetrating glass ceilings. The UNWTO launched a new action plan for the empowerment of women through tourism – as a part of UN Millennium Development Goals on gender equality – which represents an opportunity for innovative programs and strategies to foster women’s empowerment and gender equality in tourism. Plans for new and innovative research, policies and strategies in this area have started to develop.

The conference organizers themselves are involved in a research project on gender and tourism (GenTour). The project combines gender, education, entrepreneurship and employment with ethic and economic issues. It aims to examine the importance of women in the tourism sector, and analyze and evaluate the reasons for and constraints to women’s vertical mobility. Suggestions will be made for improving the role and situation of women in tourism, in order to allow more balanced gender participation in the economy. In this sense, it is believed that the project can have strong managerial implications, thus contributing gradually to the empowerment of women, so that they can play a greater role in the global marketplace, also promoting national competitiveness and higher levels of wellbeing for the society. Besides its managerial implications, the project will provide substantial contributions to the advancement of knowledge on gender studies, namely on women’s participation in the tourism economy.

The conference, a part of this project, represents its forward looking component. It aims at creating space for critical thinking and debate, while bringing together scholars, young researchers, practitioners and policy makers, who have experience in research, teaching or practical work in this field. Presentations on innovative perspectives and critical discussion of the existing strategies, ideologies, current practices and projects of empowerment of women are especially welcomed. The aim is to build a critical glance at the endeavours and practices in this field, gain and exchange knowledge about chances and challenges of similar projects, and to think about their social, economic and political impact. The conference purpose is to both disseminate the findings of the GenTour project and raise awareness and critical thinking on women’s vertical mobility, and to explore new research possibilities, including cross-national research in similar domains.

Conference themes

The thematic scope of the conference encompasses a forward looking assessment of emerging theoretical, methodological and practical issues likely to confront the areas of gender and leisure/tourism.

Subject: 2nd CFP - Special Issue IJTP - Tourism and the Triple Crisis

javiercaletr...

Call for Papers.

International Journal of Tourism Policy

Special Issue on: "Tourism and the Triple Crisis"

Guest Editors:
Matilde Córdoba Azcárate, City University of New York, USA, and Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain
Javier Caletrío, Centre for Mobilities Research, Lancaster University, UK
Misela Mavric, Cyprus University of Technology, Cyprus

The term ‘Triple Crisis’, or ‘Triple Crunch’, is becoming part of the vocabulary of journalists, academics, policy and opinion makers. ‘Triple Crisis’ refers to the combination of the three interlinked crises of global reach: the financial crisis, the crisis derived from accelerating climate change and the crisis associated with an infringing peak in oil production.

Together, these crises threaten to develop into a ‘perfect storm’ with the potential to significantly disrupt international economic exchanges, spread political instability, reduce standards of living by imposing new austerity regimes and further advance environmental degradation (Panitich et al., 2010; Urry 2011). Despite the significance that these processes have for a highly volatile global industry such as tourism, the relationships between these interrelated crises and tourism places and policies remain largely unexplored.

The aim of this special issue is twofold: (i) to analyse the socio-political, economic, spatial, material, affective and environmental dimensions of tourism encounters and dis-encounters with the contemporary financial, environmental and oil production crises, and (ii) to explore how these diverse crises gain local expression in different destinations.

In so doing, this special issue seeks to contribute to both tourism research and practice in a combined manner. It will specifically develop with novel perspectives current approaches to tourism crisis management (Pforr and Hoise, 2009); it will bridge the gap between tourism studies and the burgeoing social science literature on crisis (e.g. Birtchnell and Büscher 2010; Cohen, 2010), and it will provide an arena of empirically grounded materials to orient future tourism policy-making.

Tourism, as a recognized signifier of broader contemporary socio-cultural, economic and political processes and as a privileged vehicle for its situated understanding, can provide original insights into these crises, their relationships and shared ambivalences, their everyday performances and heterogeneous expressions. As has been largely corroborated, tourism is central for the global articulation of different flows of people, work, capital and ideas (Bauman, 1998; Cresswell and Merriman 2010). It is one of the major forces transforming space (Baherenholdt et al. 2004; Coleman and Crang, 2002; Harvey, 2006; Sheller, 2003) and stands as one of the preferred economic development policies around the globe (UNWTO, 2009).

Tourism has proved to be a highly resilient and flexible activity and as such it is largely promoted as an alternative development strategy in post-disaster scenarios (Beirman, 2008; Glaesser, 2006; Ritchie, 2009). However, the tourism industry is also deeply affected by the recent global economic crisis and environmental decay (Henderson, 2007; Papatheodorou et al., 2010).

These crises have questioned the viability of well established destinations and destabilized or inhibited the development of emergent and less popular ones. Socially and environmentally unsustainable practices associated with mass tourism and mainstream alternative tourism practices do not seem able to cope for example with the uncertainties posed by climate change and the financial meltdown. As a result, a greater number of tourist destinations face increasingly problematic futures.

To examine the role of the contemporary crises in tourism activities, places, experiences and imaginaries becomes an issue of foremost importance in the formulation of more sustainable and inclusive tourism policies and research agendas. To unravel the way in which the Triple Crisis gains local expression in emergent or established tourism destinations in its encounter with other crises, such as the fiscal crisis, water and food crisis, health crisis, legitimacy crisis and crisis in crisis-management, crisis in the trust in science, rationality crisis, environmental crisis, etc., is one of the necessary steps towards crafting a better future for the activity and also for those who depend on it as a way of living.

Subject Coverage
This issue invites contributions that explore in detail one or more of the following themes:

Tourism, development and crisis: tourism and the crisis of the Welfare State; economic and social polarisation, social rights, conspicuous consumption and the super-rich
Tourism and crisis derived from natural hazards or human catastrophes
Tourism and the governance of crisis, resilience, adaptability, urban flexibility
Tourism and the relationship between financial crisis, real estate development, and tourist landscapes
Tourism and regimes of growth based on finance; tourism and financial crisis
Tourism and knowledge based economies, the New Green Deal
Tourism, environmental crisis and oil production
Tourism new policies on crises management
Tourism practices and experiences of crisis in consolidated and/or emergent tourism destinations
Tourism mobilities, immobilities and moorings in post-crisis scenarios
Imaginaries of tourism crises
Tourism crises and the crisis of tourism as an industry

management of tourism crises
commodification of natural and cultural resources

Tourism knowledge and the Triple Crunch
Tourism, crisis and future scenarios, tourism and the creation of spaces of hope

It is in this context that this special issue on media geography and the Middle East can be best understood.

RGS-IBG 2012: Call for GLTRG session proposals

The Geographies of Leisure and Tourism Research Group (GLTRG) is pleased to present a call for sponsored sessions for the RGS-IBG Annual International Conference to be held in Edinburgh Tuesday 3rd-Thursday 5th July 2012. The conference chair is Chris Philo (University of Glasgow) and the theme is Security of geography/geography of security- see www.rgs.org/ac2012� for more details.

We welcome proposals within GLTRG's broad remit of tourism, mobility and leisure and also those that directly engage with the conference theme. A number of past sessions at the conference are in the process of being reworked into edited books as part of the Current Developments in the Geographies of Leisure and Tourism book series with Ashgate.�

�

Session proposals (max 400 words) that are seeking GLTRG sponsorship should be submitted for consideration by 20th November 2011 to Jan Mosedale (jan.mosedale@...). You can download the session proposal form at www.rgs.org/NR/rdonlyres/051F446E-3A43-43AA-B585-754DCCB5B80E/0/AC2012_SessionProposalForm.doc

�

Please note that due to space limitations in Edinburgh each research group will only be able to sponsor 12 sessions at the conference and to maximise participation, we would encourage session convenors to consider innovative formats for sessions- see the website www.rgs.org/ac2012sessionformats for some ideas.

The Power of Place: Heritage, Archaeological and Sacred

Special Issue of Recreation and Society

in Africa, Asia & Latin America

Guest editors: Dr. Cameron Walker (California State University, Fullerton)

Dr. Julie Tate-Libby (Wenatchee Valley College, Washington)

Call for papers

This issue of Recreation and Society in Africa, Asia & Latin America invites papers on the subject of place. Specifically, we would like to explore the issues of cultural heritage at archaeological and sacred sites in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Cultural heritage tourism represents 40% of the world�s tourism and is growing, along with growing global concern about the conservation and preservation of heritage sites that are valued because they link the present, past and future. The experience is more than just a visit to a site; rather it is a visit to a place that is embedded in a richly textured environment and often includes local communities. Previous research has focused on explaining the relationships between the concept of cultural heritage, and tourism to heritage and archaeological sites, but this research does not adequately consider other factors such as local community involvement in the process of conserving the sites, or their relationships with visitors. Furthermore, little attention has been given to the issue of intangible heritage, sacred places, and how local residents mitigate tourism within and around them. A lack of practical solutions affects not only the sectors of archaeology and tourism, but also has serious ramifications for cultural issues on a global level. For this journal issue, we invite a range of papers that explore tangible and intangible heritage as they relate to archaeological and sacred sites, community involvement, and tourism.

Subjects we would like to see include, but are not limited to:

1. Cultural heritage, stakeholders and interpretation of heritage at archaeological and sacred sites.

2. Community involvement: case studies of local response to heritage tourism in Africa, Asia, and Latin America

3. Interactions within the tourism/heritage nexus

4. Multiple meanings of place: sacred, archaeological, and other?

Submission Guidelines

In the first instance authors are invited to submit a 400 - 500 word abstract for consideration for the special issue. Selected authors will then be asked to produce a full paper based on their abstract for potential publication subject to a favourable review process.
Electronic submissions should be sent by e-mail attachment to both cwalker@... and tatelibby@...
Ideally, abstracts and papers should be sent as Microsoft Word files.
Articles will be 5000-6000 words in length.
All submissions will be anonymously reviewed by two independent assessors.

Important Dates:

Abstract deadline: 16^th January, 2012

Notification of acceptance of abstracts deadline: 17^th February, 2012

Submission of full paper deadline: 11^th May, 2012

Submission of revised papers: 3^rd September, 2012

**apologies for cross-postings**

Recreation and Society in Africa, Asia & South America
Special Issue on �Sport Event Legacies�

Guest editor: Dr Arianne C. Reis (Southern Cross University)

Call for papers

This issue of Recreation and Society in Africa, Asia & Latin America (RASAALA) (an open access, e-journal) invites papers on the subject of sport event legacies. Sport events today are amongst the most popular forms of organized entertainment and are responsible for several impacts on the cities in which they occur. More than impacts, event organizers and public agencies that financially support these events claim that there are significant legacies derived from staging sport events in small, medium and large communities. These legacies range from economic benefits accrued from a boost in visitor numbers, to increases in sport participation rates within the host population. Mega-sport events, in particular, have attracted significant attention from media and government bodies that tend to promote the positive legacies derived from the large scale public funding and private enterprise investments made in support of these events. This is particularly true in developing nations where mega-sport events are frequently used as catalysts for infrastructural reforms.

Although the theme of sport events, and particularly mega-sport events, has been extensively debated in the academic literature, most of the discussions have concentrated on the tangible impacts and legacies of these events, such as the economic impacts or the infrastructural legacies of sport events, with very little empirical research being produced in the area of intangible legacies. Moreover, although there has been an increasing number of contributions in English-speaking journals coming from non-English speaking countries in this theme, there is still a paucity of research on sport event legacies derived from experiences in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

The guest editor invites interested researchers to contribute theoretical and/or empirical papers related to the theme of this special issue. The topics of potential manuscripts include, but are not limited to:

Intangible legacies (e.g. sport participation, community pride, image) of sport events in developing/less developed countries
The role of large sport organizations, such as the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the F�d�ration Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), in promoting sustainable legacies of sport events in least developed nations
Sport events as tourism products in developing countries
Sustainable practices in sport event organisation
Governance issues in sport event organisation and how they can become part of (un)sustainable legacies of events
Sport events and politics in Asian, African and/or Latin American contexts
�Green Games� in developing economies: is it possible?
Bidding for mega-sport events and its legacies
Local community perspectives on sport events

Submission Guidelines

In the first instance authors are invited to submit a 400 - 500 word abstract for consideration for the special issue. Selected authors will then be asked to produce a full paper based on their abstract for potential publication subject to a favourable review process.

j.macbeth@...

Ah, Michael, you are sounding naïve. This is about territory, academics carving out territory and geology just lost out to geography, physical geography I assume.

I have to say that the focus on sustaining a territory is getting closer to a value that says what is important is not sustaining tourism but how tourism can be an active part of sustaining the social, the economic, the cultural and the environment.

But, in carving out territory, Geotourism is falling into the traps of all the other ‘tourisms’ in thinking that by dividing into ever smaller disciplinary groupings, we create a better and more useful scholarship. Tourism has at least been one of those areas where disciplines come together to work at solving problems but are we inexorably going down the discipline path? Yes, certain pressures in universities do lead this way.

The world has problems and universities have disciplines. This is a phrase often used in the forums of interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity and in the international group forming INIT, the International Network for Interdisciplinarity and Transdisciplinarity.

Tourism needs to be careful to retain its problem-solving and opportunity creating ability by not going down the discipline route, not letting discipline perspectives barricade themselves into little bunkers. This time geology lost the skirmish.

Subject: [IGUST] Making "Geotourism" less about Geology and more about Geography

Last week a declaration was passed by the International Congress of
Geotourism to promote the word "geotourism" as being a reference more to
geography and sustainability than just geology...

*... What emerged from the Congress was the Arouca
Declaration<http://http//www.csdimpact.org/content_detail.php?uid=csd0F55705171F7C1A88>,
written by attending European geopark leaders and delivered November 12,
2011 by Margarida Belém, president of the Arouca Geopark Board of
Directors. In part it says, "We recognize that there is a need to clarify
the concept of geotourism. We therefore believe that geotourism should be
defined as tourism which sustains and enhances the identity of a territory,
taking into consideration its geology, environment, culture, aesthetics,
heritage and the well-being of its residents. Geological tourism is one of
the multiple components of geotourism."*

***** apologies for cross-posting****

Dear All,

Below we are attaching the 2012 LRS Call for Abstracts. We would like to draw your attention to the following items that are NEW this year:

1. Earlier submission deadline - January 10, 2012 (due to the Symposium being scheduled earlier in 2012).

2. Additional new presentation format - a prerecorded video presentation. Video presentations will be posted on NRPA Connect and will allow those who cannot travel to the LRS to share their work with fellow researchers and practitioners. This year the number of video presentations will be limited to 3. Video presentations will not decrease the number of paper, poster, or panel presentations accepted for the Symposium, but will be accepted in addition to the traditional format presentations.

3. The limit on the number of presentations coming from a single faculty author has been lifted.

4. Authors of abstracts who receive the highest scores during the review process will be invited to submit their papers to the special issue of Journal of Leisure Research published in the last quarter of 2012.

5. New, revised thematic areas.

6. New and improved abstracts submission page:

https://s3.goeshow.com/nrpark/annual/2012/abstract_submission2.cfm

If you have any questions, please let us know.

******************************

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

2012 NRPA LEISURE RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM

Anaheim, CA
October 16-18

Monika Stodolska and Jason Bocarro, LRS Co-Chairs

The NRPA Leisure Research Symposium provides an international forum for scholarly exchange and discussion about leisure. The Symposium includes both theoretical and applied research that transcends disciplinary boundaries. Papers may address leisure behavior, structural and cultural aspects of leisure and leisure studies, or applied research directed at the recreation professions.

Papers are presented either as formal paper presentations, posters, as part of a panel session, or in a video format that will be uploaded on NRPA Connect. All abstracts receive the same rigorous, double blind review without consideration of the presentation format. Abstracts for all types of presentations are included in an electronic published book of abstracts.

Abstracts reporting empirical studies should contain subheadings identifying an introduction, methods, results, and discussion; only completed studies should be submitted. Abstracts reporting conceptual and theoretical discussions should also have an effective set of subheadings. Abstracts cannot exceed three pages, single spaced (see attached instructions). Because of this limitation, it is imperative that abstracts are written carefully and provide a coherent overview of the paper that will be presented.

CONDITIONS FOR SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS

1. Only completed studies or scholarly discussions may be submitted.

2. Only studies that have not been previously published or presented at another professional conference may be submitted. Papers that ask the same question(s), use the same analysis, or develop the same logical argument as previous publications or presentations are not eligible.

3. Two or more abstracts from the same study cannot be submitted to different sessions under different titles/authorship unless substantially different aspects of the study are represented in each paper.

4. Abstracts undergo blind peer review by three reviewers with expertise in the topical area to which the abstract was submitted. The Symposium Co Chairs make final decisions about acceptance, but typically adhere to the recommendations of the reviewers. Papers may be rejected due to time and space limitations, ineffective development of the 3 page abstract, violation of conditions 2 or 3 (above), or weaknesses in the study itself.

5. Authors who have their abstracts accepted for paper, poster or panel presentations are expected to deliver their presentations as assigned during the Symposium. Failure to adhere to this guideline in 2012 will preclude a researcher from presenting at the 2013 LRS. Authors who are not planning to attend the 2012 conference can submit their abstracts for a video format presentation.

6. Researchers who wish to submit panel proposals should submit three (3) papers addressing one central theme and a response paper from a discussant (see instructions for submitting a panel session).

7.   NEW THIS YEAR: Authors of abstracts who receive the highest scores during the review process will be invited to submit their papers to the special issue of Journal of Leisure Research published in the last quarter of 2012. The authors of selected abstracts will be notified at the time of the abstract acceptance notification (i.e., late February). The full papers will be due on July 1, 2012 (the deadline will be strictly enforced). They should follow the format of papers submitted to a regular issue of Journal of Leisure Research. The full papers will undergo the standard blind peer review process. Thus, the acceptance of an abstract for the Symposium will NOT guarantee acceptance for the special issue of the Journal.

8.   Abstracts are to be submitted electronically no later than January 10, 2012 Abstracts submitted after this deadline will be returned without review.

Please upload your abstract and fill out all of the required information using this link:

https://s3.goeshow.com/nrpark/annual/2012/abstract_submission2.cfm

2. Leisure across the Lifespan (leisure, children and adolescents; family leisure; leisure and aging)

3. Leisure, Health and Physical Activity

4. Leisure and Tourism

5. Leisure and Sport

6. Community Development (e.g., municipal recreation, community resources; building community)

     (e) panel session presentation
     (f) pre-recorded video presentation only
     (g) prefer pre-recorded video presentation but would do either poster or formal presentation

Note: Reviewers are not aware of the stated presentation preference. This information in conjunction with time and space limitations is used by the Symposium Co Chairs when establishing the final conference schedule.

6. Indication whether the authors would like their abstract to be considered for the special issue of Journal of Leisure Research.

7. Learning Objectives

Provide three observable and measurable learning outcomes. Limit to one sentence (20 words or less) per outcome.

1. Learning outcomes are statements that specify what learners will know or be able to do as a result of a learning activity. Outcomes are usually expressed as knowledge, skills, or attitudes.

They help to:
- Focus on learner's behavior that is to be changed
- Serve as guidelines for content, instruction, and evaluation
- Identify specifically what should be learned
- Convey to learners exactly what is to be accomplished

2. When writing Learning Outcomes, use verbs that are observable and measurable.

Subject: Call for Papers � Travel and Imagination

g.lean@...

Travel and Imagination_CFP_(Lean, Staiff & Waterton).pdf

Travel and Imagination1

Edited by: Garth Lean, Russell Staiff and Emma Waterton (University of Western Sydney, Australia)

Like so many words associated with tourism, �imagination� is an accepted though somewhat obdurate notion. We accept it because it is, after all, something that is central to our consciousness and perception, operating almost imperceptibly whether we are awake or asleep. But beyond this, imagination also takes up an endlessly complex form because the term is linked to a constellation of other phenomenon: dreams, make-believe, fantasy, memory and remembering, perception, the �mind�s eye�, understanding, world-views, learning, story-telling � in all its many forms � and so forth. It�s a shape-changing phenomenon and it�s utterly central to the human experience. Given this, we see it as a concept key to both our everyday lives and the idea of travel and tourism, producing both �imaginative travel� and the �travel imagination�. Surprisingly, however, there is a dearth of published material focusing upon the links between the two.

This Call for Papers is an attempt to �plug� the abovementioned gap and open up new and innovative explorations of travel and imagination. It seeks contributions that illustrate how imagination becomes a part of, informs, is informed by and/or is represented as an element of travel. Crucially, travel should not be read here as something that is limited to a conceptualisation centred on the �experience� itself, but to any temporal and spatial boundaries the writer wishes to set. As an initial, but in no way rigid, guide papers may consider the following themes:

� Travel fantasy, prompted by picture books, fiction, cinema, documentaries, art works, maps, virtual travel and so forth;

� Travel and creativity: artists travelling to create, audiences travelling to see, writers travelling for inspiration, readers reading to �escape� to imaginative worlds and so forth;

� The itinerary as an imaginative act� imagination, plotting, planning...;

� Science fiction and science fantasy: travelling to places that do not exist � literally places of the imagination;

� Desire and the libidinous in travel/imagination (anticipation, day-dreaming, making dreams/fantasies �come true�, illusions, seduction);

� Travel and imagining the life of�;

� Making places/events/people �real�: travel as a way of anchoring the imagination in physical places, which in turn further feeds the imagination.

In combining these diverse perspectives, this volume will make an important contribution to a concept that has received inadequate attention from the tourism and broader mobility disciplines. It is anticipated that it will include chapters from established figures, but we also encourage expressions of interest from postgraduate students, too. We would also like to see submissions that consider perspectives beyond traditional Western and textual perspectives. A word limit of 6�7,000 is proposed for each chapter (including references).

Writing Schedule

Please submit chapter proposals (abstracts of up to 500 words) to the volume�s editors at g.lean@... by 23rd December 2011, with decisions by the editors communicated by the end of January 2012. First drafts of accepted contributions will be due by the end of June 2012, with the full manuscript deliverable by the end of February 2013.

See attached for details on editors

1 This book proposal will be submitted as part of Current Developments in the Geographies of Leisure and Tourism, a book series of the Geographies of Leisure and Tourism Research Group with the Royal Geographical Society and the Institute of British Geographers (GLTRG) (Series Editors: Jan Mosedale and Caroline Scarles).

Dear All,

Below we are attaching the 2012 LRS Call for Abstracts. Please forward to any interested colleagues who may not be on SPRENET/CALS/RTS-net. We would like to draw your attention to the following items that are NEW this year:

1. Earlier submission deadline - January 10, 2012

2. Additional new presentation format - a prerecorded video presentation. Video presentations will be posted on NRPA Connect and will allow those who cannot travel to the LRS to share their work with fellow researchers and practitioners. This year the number of video presentations will be limited to 3. Video presentations will not decrease the number of paper, poster, or panel presentations accepted for the Symposium, but will be accepted in addition to the traditional format presentations.

3. The limit on the number of presentations coming from a single faculty author has been lifted.

4. Authors of abstracts who receive the highest scores during the review process will be invited to submit their papers to the special issue of Journal of Leisure Research published in the last quarter of 2012.

5. New, revised thematic areas.

6. Best Student Paper Award (in conjunction with ALS) - see attached document

7. New and improved abstracts submission page:

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

2012 NRPA LEISURE RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM

Anaheim, CA
October 16-18

Monika Stodolska and Jason Bocarro, LRS Co-Chairs

The NRPA Leisure Research Symposium provides an international forum for
scholarly exchange and discussion about leisure. The Symposium includes
both theoretical and applied research that transcends disciplinary
boundaries. Papers may address leisure behavior, structural and cultural
aspects of leisure and leisure studies, or applied research directed at the
recreation professions.

Papers are presented either as formal paper presentations, posters, as part
of a panel session, or in a video format that will be uploaded on NRPA
Connect. All abstracts receive the same rigorous, double blind review
without consideration of the presentation format. Abstracts for all types
of presentations are included in an electronic published book of abstracts.

Abstracts reporting empirical studies should contain subheadings
identifying an introduction, methods, results, and discussion; only
completed studies should be submitted. Abstracts reporting conceptual and
theoretical discussions should also have an effective set of subheadings.
Abstracts cannot exceed three pages, single spaced (see attached
instructions). Because of this limitation, it is imperative that abstracts
are written carefully and provide a coherent overview of the paper that
will be presented.

CONDITIONS FOR SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS

1. Only completed studies or scholarly discussions may be submitted.

2. Only studies that have not been previously published or presented at
another professional conference may be submitted. Papers that ask the same
question(s), use the same analysis, or develop the same logical argument as
previous publications or presentations are not eligible.

3. Two or more abstracts from the same study cannot be submitted to
different sessions under different titles/authorship unless substantially
different aspects of the study are represented in each paper.

4. Abstracts undergo blind peer review by three reviewers with expertise
in the topical area to which the abstract was submitted. The Symposium Co
Chairs make final decisions about acceptance, but typically adhere to the
recommendations of the reviewers. Papers may be rejected due to time and
space limitations, ineffective development of the 3 page abstract,
violation of conditions 2 or 3 (above), or weaknesses in the study itself.

5. Authors who have their abstracts accepted for paper, poster or panel
presentations are expected to deliver their presentations as assigned
during the Symposium. Failure to adhere to this guideline in 2012 will
preclude a researcher from presenting at the 2013 LRS. Authors who are not
planning to attend the 2012 conference can submit their abstracts for a
video format presentation.

6. Researchers who wish to submit panel proposals should submit three (3)
papers addressing one central theme and a response paper from a discussant
(see instructions for submitting a panel session).

7.   NEW THIS YEAR: Authors of abstracts who receive the highest scores
during the review process will be invited to submit their papers to the
special issue of Journal of Leisure Research published in the last quarter
of 2012. The authors of selected abstracts will be notified at the time of
the abstract acceptance notification (i.e., late February). The full papers
will be due on July 1, 2012 (the deadline will be strictly enforced). They
should follow the format of papers submitted to a regular issue of Journal
of Leisure Research. The full papers will undergo the standard blind peer
review process. Thus, the acceptance of an abstract for the Symposium will
NOT guarantee acceptance for the special issue of the Journal.

8.   Abstracts are to be submitted electronically no later than January 10,
2012 Abstracts submitted after this deadline will be returned without
review.

Please upload your abstract and fill out all of the required information
using this link:

https://s3.goeshow.com/nrpark/annual/2012/abstract_submission2.cfm

I. Abstracts that do not meet all specifications will be rejected from
further consideration.

2. Reference List

A. A list of references not exceeding one-page (46 lines total) should be
listed in a document separate from the abstract if submitting a 3-page
abstract.

B. The list of references must follow the same font and margin format as
specified above for abstracts.

C. References list should be formatted according to Publication Manual of
the American Psychological Association (6th edition).

3. Panel Session Submission Instructions

A. Panel sessions submissions require four one page abstracts. The panel
session organizer will be responsible for convening and moderating the
panel session around a central theme. Three one page abstracts written in
accordance with the LRS guidelines (single-spaced, 12 point font, 1 inch
margins, title etc) should be collected by the panel session organizer.
Abstracts should provide sufficient detail as to the proposed paper
contents. (PLEASE NOTE: The discussant=92s paper does not need to be

providing an introduction to the theme and summarizing the main points of
the three presentations (i.e., the three abstracts mentioned above).

C. The panel session organizer will be responsible for writing the learning
objectives for the session for CEUs.

4. NEW THIS YEAR: Pre-recorded video presentation

The abstracts submitted for a video presentation should follow the same
format as paper and poster abstracts. However, the authors who choose the
pre-recorded video presentation format will not be required to attend the
Symposium. By September 1, 2012 they will be expected to submit a
professionally edited 15-minute long videorecording of their presentation
(both the presenter and the power point slides). The presentations will be
made available on NRPA Connect beginning with the first day of the
Symposium. Viewers will be able to post questions to the authors and engage
in a discussion in the blog format. Video presentations will not decrease
the number of paper, poster, or panel presentations accepted for the
Symposium, but will be accepted in addition to the traditional format
presentations. Only 3 video presentations will be accepted for the 2012
Symposium.

5. Specification of Section and Presentation

A. Specify a specific thematic area (one only from the 11 thematic areas
that are listed below) in which the abstract should be reviewed. These

tourism)

2. Leisure across the Lifespan (leisure, children and adolescents; family
leisure; leisure and aging)

3. Leisure, Health and Physical Activity

4. Leisure and Tourism

information in conjunction with time and space limitations is used by the
Symposium Co Chairs when establishing the final conference schedule.

6. Indication whether the authors would like their abstract to be
considered for the special issue of Journal of Leisure Research.

7. Learning Objectives

Provide three observable and measurable learning outcomes. Limit to one
sentence (20 words or less) per outcome.

1. Learning outcomes are statements that specify what learners will know or
be able to do as a result of a learning activity. Outcomes are usually
expressed as knowledge, skills, or attitudes.

They help to:
- Focus on learner's behavior that is to be changed
- Serve as guidelines for content, instruction, and evaluation
- Identify specifically what should be learned
- Convey to learners exactly what is to be accomplished

2. When writing Learning Outcomes, use verbs that are observable and
measurable.
