Professor Stodolska's research focuses on leisure behavior of ethnic and racial minorities and on constraints
on leisure. She explores subjects such as the effects of race and ethnicity on leisure behavior of recent immigrants,
issues of cultural change and adaptation among minority groups, and transnationalism. Other subjects that are prominent
in her research include ethnic and racial discrimination in leisure settings, recreation behavior of minority populations
in natural environments, physical activity among minority groups, as well as constraints on leisure.
