He has taught in the departments of sociology at Memorial Univ. of Newfoundland (1965-73), Univ. of Texas at Arlington (1973-76), and Univ. of Calgary (1976-99).

Today its three forms - serious, casual, and project-based leisure - along with its many types and subtypes, constitute a main orientation for research and analysis in this field. Stebbins was elected Fellow, Academy of Leisure Sciences (1996) and Fellow, Royal Society of Canada (1999). His books include Between Work and Leisure (2004/2014), Serious Leisure: A Perspective for Our Time (2007/2015), Careers in Serious Leisure (2014), and The Interrelationship of Leisure and Play (2015).
