This month (2025 March), I had the pleasure to join two classes at Wilfrid Laurier University for a guest lecture for students in courses in the User Experience Design program offered at WLU Brantford campus. Immersive Spaces (Prof. Hall) and Designing for EDI (Prof. Harris) were perfect courses to visit with two different presentations based on examples in theme parks.
Also delighted to return to visit Prof. Bill Childs for his course Recreation and Risk at Western New England University School of Law. In my visit, I talk about amusement parks’ competing expectations of safety and accessibility. Bill’s book would be of interest to anyone interested about the law applicable to recreational businesses, including amusement parks, water parks, haunted houses, and more.
I took advantage of these visits to also promote the Themed Experience and Attractions Academic Society to everyone! Hoping to see continued expansion of interest in the 2025 Symposium in November.
