Callie Schultz

Biography

Callie Spencer Schultz, Ph.D. is currently serving as Program Director and Assistant Professor in Parks and Recreation Management and Assistant Professor in the M.S. Experiential and Outdoor Education Program at WCU. Her classrooms concentrate on critical and poststructural perspectives of leisure and the ways in which leisure both shapes and is shaped by culture. At WCU she teaches courses focused on diversity & social justice, leadership & group dynamics, research methods, social media, international travel & global citizenship, and programing & evaluation. Dr. Schultz’s research interests include leisure and new media, leisure and social justice, and the performance of subjectivities in transmedia leisure spaces. Utilizing qualitative methodologies that trouble notions of traditional epistemologies, her work aims to challenge us to think about “what counts” as leisure scholarship. She has recently won a grant to purchase and facilitate the Missouri Community Action Network's Poverty Simulation at WCU in partnership with Health & PE faculty and the International Programs and Services Department. The simulation encourages students to think critically about experiences of poverty and counter harmful stereotypes, promoting empathy. Her team has facilitated the simulation for over 400 WCU students and counting.
