ABSTRACT:
In this article, I argue that action research has a critical role to play in leisure studies. Its strength lies in its ability to foster change and rejuvenate community in postindustrial society. The interdependence between people that is so vital to the welfare of the collective can be more fully realized through action research in leisure and recreation. However, there is a need for researchers to be well trained and subsequently encouraged to engage in action research so as to further the social relevance of leisure studies in both research and practice.
