Justice entails concepts of fairness, reasonableness, honesty, and integrity, going beyond the more basic premises of “acceptability” or “lawfulness.” We invite proposals for a special track on animal justice, where we will explore meanings of and means to achieve justice for non-human animal actors within tourism.

Tourism RESET will be leading a special track: BI-POC issues in tourism, travel, and mobility. Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BI-POC) have endured racial inequalities, segregation and systemic racism for centuries. Globally, travel and tourism has been overpoweringly White-washed, leaving limited room to highlight the experiences and voices of traditionally marginalized groups, the result lending itself ...

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. Co...

Liberating Theater in the Realm of TourismbyYaniv BelhassenandCaroline Demeyère In his earliest writings, Augusto Boal (1979) elucidates his theatrical philosophy and the way it is manifested in each one of the techniques associated with what he calls, and has been thereafter known as, “The Theater of the Oppressed.” In his opinion, anybody who is restricted in their ability to act is oppressed and the theater is the means to emancipate them. Boal...

We are living in an era of growing illiberalism and authoritarianism. Tourism scholars must confront this trend and consider what it means for how we understand democracy, justice, and power. Framed by a critical, political economy approach, the presentation situates the illiberal/authoritarian turn within the broader context of a changing neoliberal landscape, which is inspired by, and supportive of, so-called populist (ethno-nationalist) movements, ...
