Shaw-Mannell Award and Lecture

The Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies is proud to present the Shaw-Mannell Leisure Research Award Lecture featuring 2024 recipient, Dr. Ana Maria Munar.

The award recognizes international career contributions to the study of leisure, broadly defined, and influence on leisure scholarship at the University of Waterloo. The award is named in honour of retired faculty members Sue Shaw and Roger Mannell to recognize their outstanding individual career achievements.

This presentation explores how social capital can be harnessed to support place transformation. Despite its recognized importance, social capital remains poorly understood due to fragmented definitions and theories. By framing it as a form of capital, this talk presents a unified framework that clarifies how elements like trust, networks, and norms enable collective action

Cree Tylee: In any way I can

Cree Tylee is an interdisciplinary artist exploring themes of presence and absence investigated through the family archive. "In any way I can" explores the home as a site of memory, investigating loss and identity through material and spatial remembering.
