We are offering time for reflection, processing, and a moment for clarity within a decompression session workshop. These sessions will help folxs make meaning of what they observed and heard in a non-judgmental space. As Probyn (2003) posited, “space informs, limits, and produces subjectivity” and with decompression sessions, conference participants can delineate for themselves the dialogue around race relations and the historical complexities of colonized and White centered narratives. Come prepared to share your thoughts, feelings, 'ah-ha' moments and considerations for the future of critical tourism studies. This session will be purely interactive. All are welcome!
