Call for papers for special issue of Tourism Recreation Research

Tourism, Cosmopolitanism and Global Citizenship

The last few decades have witnessed substantial debate about and reworking of the concept of citizenship. Formally a nationally based political and legal identity (although never precluding an international perspective in the world), citizenship is increasingly invoked as in need of a more cosmopolitan orientation – to be a global citizen is a normative goal in education and  often in culture generally.

In turn, cosmopolitanism is associated with leisure travel. To travel is to experience, and experience  is central to modern conceptions of social and political enlightenment. Ethical tourism niches such as volunteer tourism are sold and consumed on the basis that they can nurture global citizens, better able to empathise and conceptualise problems that are distinctly global and not amenable to the purportedly limited remit of nationally based polities based upon national interests.

NGOs, governments and educational institutions have supported ethical tourism initiatives linked, often explicitly, to the development of global citizenship. The promotion of this more overt cosmopolitan identity has been accompanied by a crisis at the level of republican citizenship, and arguably of politics itself. As a result perhaps the sense of a moral and political purpose that accompanied the traditional conception of the citizen is being outsourced to a global civil society operating through culture and consumption. Do such initiatives have the potential to nurture new subjects better able to think and act upon the world beyond nationally based polities?

This special issue will look at how tourism is being linked with global citizenship and / or a wider cosmopolitanism, and the worth of such initiatives (both within their own terms of reference and importantly with reference to wider debates about citizenship). We welcome papers looking at specific cases and also broader conceptual analyses.

Abstracts for prospective contributions to the special issue of approximately 300 words should be submitted the editor, Dr Jim Butcher. Final papers will be double blind reviewed as per the normal journal procedure. Abstracts to be submitted up to a May 1st 2016 deadline.  Final papers to be submitted by November 10th 2016. The special issue is scheduled   for June 2017 publication.

Journal details at: http://www.tandfonline.com/loi/rtrr

Please contact Jim Butcher with abstracts and any queries:    jim.butcher@canterbury.ac.uk

* We invite prospective contributors to the special issue to also submit their abstract to the strand Volunteer Tourism:  Travelling for a Change? (sponsored by the ATLAS Volunteer Tourism study group and the AAG Recreation, Tourism and Sport specialty group) at the 25th Anniversary ATLAS Annual Conference, Tourism, Lifestyles and Location, (Canterbury Christ Church University, UK, September 14-16, 2016).

12th Annual Tourism and Hospitality Research in Ireland Conference 

 

THRIC 2016


16th and 17th June, Limerick


A Taste of Tourism - Niche Perspectives

 

Welcome message from THRIC 2016

Building on the success of the last 11 Tourism and Hospitality Research in Ireland Conferences (THRIC), the Department of Food & Tourism is proud to host the 12th Annual THRIC in Limerick Institute of Technology (LIT) on June 16th and 17th 2016. With a multi-location campus in Clare, Limerick and Tipperary, LIT is an autonomous institution with a long history of delivering quality hospitality and tourism education, employment training and applied research attuned to the needs of the labour market. The primary aim of the craft, tourism and event management programmes within the Department of Food & Tourism is to enable our students to contribute to the sustainable development and future of the Irish tourism and hospitality industry. The following link provides a brief sample of our active learning approach to hospitality and tourism education in LIT:

 

Research directs and informs this ambition and is fundamental to ensuring that we achieve our aim. Consequently, THRIC provides an ideal forum by gathering together representatives from academia, industry and the research community to discuss the sector's research and industry needs.


For more than a decade, THRIC has contributed significantly to furthering our understanding of the tourism and hospitality industry from a variety of standpoints. THRIC 2016 continues this tradition by introducing yet another layer of investigation: 
'A Taste of Tourism - Niche Perspectives' inviting contributors to consider the complexities of the relationships that tourists form with people and places.

In its broadest sense 
'A Taste of Tourism - Niche Perspectives' reflects the relationships between producer and consumer, reality and imagination, and the individual with the packaged. To extend these lines of enquiry, we welcome research papers from both new and more experienced contributors on a variety of hospitality and tourism related research themes. We encourage new researchers at the early stages of their work, to present to an audience and gain valuable insights in a positive and supportive environment.  In addition, a number of Keynote Speakers will also address current issues and trends pertinent to hospitality and tourism. The Gala dinner on Thursday evening (16th of June) in the Strand Hotel will allow delegates the opportunity to reflect and network in advance of the final day of THRIC 2016.

We look forward to welcoming you to Limerick in June 2016.  In the meantime, should you have any queries please contact us on 
THRIC@lit.ie​.
