Bio
I’m an Associate Professor at the University of Alberta, Canada. I am passionate about studying and teaching leisure. Research suggests that leisure is the life domain that can make our lives worth living. Yet, many of us do not know how to make most out of it. And that's the knowledge that I would like to produce and teach.
I am originally from Japan. My leisure interests involve both active (e.g., badminton, golf) and cultural (e.g., trying new food, gaming) activities.
