Tanner Knorr

Tanner Knorr, Recreation Management & Recreational Therapy, co-authored the chapter "Tags, tagging, tagged, # - undisciplining organ-ization of [academic] bodies" in Embodied Writing in Management and Organisation Studies and was accepted for publication by Routledge. This chapter is written as a collective as we consider how our bodies are tagged through materialities and ideas. We question what is produced and being produced through the embodied tags within our academic lives.

W Means

W Means, Recreation Management & Recreational Therapy, presented "The Art of Anarchy: Practical and Research Implications of Paradigmatic Pluralism" at World Leisure Congress on Aug. 27 in Breda, The Netherlands. Dr. Means presented his latest work on the philosophy of science in the leisure field. Sticking with local customs, he embraced the local cycling culture and bike-commuted to the conference from his hotel! Held every two years, the World Leisure Congress (WLC) is convened by the World Leisure Organization (WLO) — a non-profit recognized as a consultative organization with the United Nations Economic and Social Council. This special status allows WLO to support and reflect UN goals through global initiatives that promote leisure as essential to quality of life, cultural identity, and sustainable development across all life stages.
