Research Seminar: “A Comfortable Lifestyle? Exploring Leisure Patterns In The Lives Of Educated Indian Women In Malaysia”
A PhD graduate from University Malaya, Dr. Sally Anne S Paramanathan, who represents Australian Matriculation at Sunway College, presented her research which was entitled: “A comfortable lifestyle? Exploring leisure patterns in the lives of educated Indian women in Malaysia”. Her work was presented at the 5th Research Seminar Series organised by the School of Hospitality and sponsored by The Ritz Carlton and JW Marriot Kuala Lumpur. Based on her qualitative responses of fifteen women, this research considered the possibilities of cultural schemas that keep these women from fully accessing leisure that they rightfully deserve. Their attempts at enjoying a comfortable lifestyle within definitions of leisure are also explored and acknowledged among this group of women.
