Description
Western Sydney University’s World Leisure Centre of Excellence (WLCE) was established in early 2025 to bring together the work of WSU scholars from different disciplinary fields whose research and practice focus on leisure studies, broadly conceived, as it relates to the health and wellbeing of our communities.
The World Leisure Centres of Excellence comprise an international graduate/post-graduate network that offers opportunities for colleges and universities across the world to affiliate with the World Leisure Organization (WLO) to promote graduate educational programs and research centres focused on play, recreation, the arts, culture, sport, festivals and celebrations, health and fitness, travel, and tourism. Western is only the second university in Australasia to achieve WLCE status, and the only one in Australia.
Western’s WLCE is established within the University’s School of Health Sciences; however, the membership of Western’s WLCE has no departmental boundaries. The Centre is multi-disciplinary, with the involvement of staff from all Schools and Institutes across the university.
The group of scholars that gather under the banner of Western’s WLCE represents the broad and varied nature of leisure-related research across Western. Members work in areas as diverse as health, business, social sciences, education, psychology, medicine, youth studies, and cultural studies; but all are interested in the various ways in which leisure is understood and engaged, whether through sport, arts, tourism, festivals and events, recreation, or physical activity and the way these impact on individual and community health and wellbeing.
The Centre also draws attention and resources to both our well-established and emerging undergraduate and postgraduate programs in the broad field of leisure studies, including recreational therapy, sports science, health, physical education, sport development, outdoor education, tourism, events, arts therapy, music therapy, among others.
