Walker博士的研究计划将社会、环境、跨文化的心理学融入进休闲理论。他对于文化与种族是怎样影响人们对休闲的参与（比如博彩、户外休闲）以及人们的休闲行为（约束、动机、经历、获益）尤为感兴趣。现在，通过Alberta赌博研究院和加拿大社会科学和人文研究院的资金支持，Walker博士的研究主要放在中国人、中国与加拿大人，欧洲与加拿大人的休闲上。此项研究变成了成千上万的会议摘要，书的章节，被大量出版。他还担任了休闲研究和休闲两本杂志的副主编。

Associate Professor Gordon J. Walker, PhD
Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation，University of Alberta, Canada.

Dr. Walker's research program integrates social, environmental, and cross-cultural psychology into leisure theory. He is particularly interested in how culture and ethnicity affect leisure participation (e.g., gambling, outdoor recreation) and leisure behaviours (e.g., constraints, motivations, experiences, benefits). To date, Dr. Walker's research has focused primarily on Chinese, Chinese-Canadian, and Euro-Canadian people's leisure, with funding from the Alberta Gaming Research Institute and the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada resulting in a number of conference abstracts, book chapters, and refereed publications. He also serves as an associate editor for Journal of Leisure Research and Leisure/Loisir.
