#30: Constraints to accessing urban natural environments with Dr. Monika Stodolska
This episode's guest was Dr. Monika Stodolska who is a Professor within the Department of Recreation, Sport, and Tourism at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Additionally, she is the Director of the Diversity Research Laboratory at her institute. Dr. Stodolska’s research focuses on the roles of leisure, recreation, and sport in improving health and well-being among ethnic and racial minorities. Her studies have explored the development of ethnic identities among Latinos and African Americans, as well as cultural change and adaptation among immigrant populations. Other subjects that are prominent in her research include constraints on leisure, ethnic and racial discrimination in leisure settings, recreation behavior of minority populations in urban natural environments, physical activity among minority groups, and the roles of new technologies in leisure. For this episode of All Bodies Outside, our conversation focused on constraints to accessing urban natural environments experienced by people of color, low income individuals, and immigrant populations and what can be done to help them overcome these barriers.
