The overarching theme for ReCon XI: Foundations, Connections and Community

The Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation includes a wide range of research topics. 

At RECON XI, we want to celebrate the unified KSR community and the value of our diverse faculty. 

We also aim to highlight the benefits of graduate research in our faculty: some research involves direct relations with communities; some connects important findings to their users to improve people’s lives through sport, recreation, and leisure; and some research is foundational with the primary goal of enhancing our understanding of the world. 

Lastly, we wish to highlight the importance of wellness in graduate school. Connections—whether personal or between research groups—that get us out of our cubicles make a more memorable and impactful graduate experience. 

As such, the theme for RECON XI aims to bring graduate students together through research while building personal connections along the way.
