ABSTRACT
I thought it would be useful, first, to try and explain where the rather long title for this talk came from. In many ways it is a reflection of me and my multiple disciplinary and subject field backgrounds and interests: geographers speak of places, sociologists speak of social policies, educationalists speak of knowledge construction and I have spent over 20 years in higher education as a student, teacher and researcher working across these disciplinary boundaries and relating these disciplinary perspectives to the developing subject fields of leisure studies, sport studies and tourism studies. But perhaps the words that are most associated with my work are those of inclusion, exclusion and social justice reflecting the nature of my research which acknowledges leisure, sport and tourism as a series of two-faced coins.
