Reflections on our (Sustainable) Leisure

This month’s AHSC Brown Bag Lunch is taking a fun and reflective twist, and we want you all to be a part of it!

Join us for an interactive session where we explore the idea of leisure, what it means to us personally, how it has evolved, and how it connects to broader ideas of sustainability and social justice.

Here’s what to do:

• Identify a photo that represents your leisure. Send it to: steven.henle@concordia.ca or annick.davignon@concordia.ca. It could be something you used to enjoy, something you currently do, or even a leisure activity you’ve always dreamed of trying.
• Keep it secret! We’ll upload the photos to Padlet and start our session with a "guess who game", trying to figure out who submitted what.

After our photo reveal and discussion, we’ll dive deeper by exploring John Dattilo’s Balanced and Systematic Model for Leisure Education, and introduce a new model that incorporates elements of social justice.

This Brown Bag will focus on your leisure, your lens, and your voice.

About the series

The Brown Bag Lunch Research Series 2025-2026 is offered by the Department of Applied Human Sciences and the Centre for Human Flourishing. These sessions are opportunities for faculty researchers to discuss an issue, topic or area on which they are working. At each session there will be plenty of time for questions and discussion.
