Dalton Grimes
Expected Graduation: May 2028
Dalton is a Ph.D. Student in Recreation, Sport, and Tourism Studies. His research interests focus on the leisure experiences of queer visitors in outdoor spaces, public places, and in "nerdier" leisure settings like gaming conventions and trading card tournaments. Dalton is interested in understanding the behavior and motivations of queer visitors to these places to help organizations provide more inviting, engaging, and inclusive experiences.
