I am an Assistant Professor in Tourism and Hospitality, and Programme Leader for the BA(Hons) in Tourism and Events Management at 51, United Kingdom. I am also a critical tourism scholar. My research attends to material-affective atmospheres, spatiotemporality, and more-than-human agencies in nature-based tourism and protected areas. My research is contextualized by the Anthropocene - i.e., the contemporary geologic era of planetary-wide environmental crises, anthropogenic inscription, and precarity. I engage posthumanism and non-representational praxis as philosophical, theoretical, and methodological spaces for thinking-with and researching-with nonhumans. I am particularly interested in more-than-human conservation possibilities in tourism and as an embodied ethics of living/thriving/being-with many on a shared planet.
My research interests include:
Critical tourism topics (broadly)
Human-nature encounters and relationships (broadly)
Community-led research
Naturescapes, protected areas, and parks
Unsettling and decolonizing tourism practices and research
Tourism, climate change, and the Anthropocene
Posthuman philosophical, theoretical, and methodological approaches
Multi-modal, qualitative methodological practices, sensory attunement, and novel (re)presentational practices
Embodied relational research
Possibilties of more-than-human conservation futures attuned to nonhuman agencies, affectivity and atmospheres, and troubling chrono- and spatio-normativity in research -with پDzԲ.
