EuroCHRIE Budapest - please feel free to circulate

Dear Colleagues,

 

On behalf of the host organization Budapest Metropolitan University of Applied Sciences (Budapest, Hungary) and the Board of EuroCHRIE I am delighted to call your attention to to the EuroCHRIE 2016 conference. Please see the key information and call for paper details below.

 

CALL FOR PAPERS

What's Going Well in Hospitality, Tourism and Events?

26-28 October, 2016 . Budapest, Hungary

 

The concept of wellbeing has become an increasing focus of research and academic study as well as industry reports. Numerous studies have attempted to measure the wellbeing, quality of life or happiness of citizens (e.g. Eurofound, OECD, Gallup). Wellbeing or wellness has become an important focus for the hospitality sector too. This includes the wellbeing of employees as well as the happiness and satisfaction of guests. The growth of spa and wellness hotels, as well as specific brands such as 'Healing Hotels of the World' or 'Starwood's Seven Pillars of Wellness' is firm evidence of this.

 

In addition to papers relating to wellbeing, health, wellness and spas, we are also interested in a broader conceptualisation of wellbeing and would like to consider all themes which relate to the question 'What's going well'? These might include: good practice and positive experiences from education (e.g. staff wellbeing and student satisfaction); guest happiness and satisfaction; quality of life of residents in destinations; innovative and successful research projects and methods. We would also like to know what you think is going well in different areas of your specialism whether it is events, marketing, operations, human resources, finance, revenue and yield management or technology? Our main aim is to collect examples of good and positive practice which can enhance the wellbeing of all those working in, studying, teaching, researching or simply enjoying hospitality, tourism and events!

 

We invite the submission of research and practice conference papers and/or poster presentations from academics, industry practitioners and postgraduate research students on the following research themes:

 

Wellbeing, health, wellness and spas   

This includes all research on wellbeing, quality of life or happiness of citizens, residents or tourists. Papers can also focus on health tourism destinations, regions or clusters. Research papers relating to spas and wellness hotels or health and wellness tourism are also encouraged, as well as healthy gastronomy.

 

What's going well in education and teaching?   

This can include staff wellbeing and occupational health issues. Research may focus on student satisfaction and experience enhancement in the classroom. It can include placements or internships, student research, as well as examples of good practice from teaching and learning, especially using new technologies.

 

What's going well in research?   

This section welcomes papers that examine good or new practice in research, such as the usage of unusual or innovative approaches or methods.

 

What's going well in hotels and hospitality?   

Papers are welcomed on all aspects of hotel management and hospitality, including employee wellbeing as well as guest satisfaction and experience enhancement. It might also include the integration of wellbeing into hotel development, such as healthier food or improved fitness facilities.

 

What's going well in tourism and events?   

This section will focus on research relating to tourism and events. Case studies of good practice are encouraged which exemplify good or positive management or marketing of events. This might include issues of sustainability or ethics, as well as sound business practices.

 

What's going well in your own specialism?   

Here, delegates have the chance to present research from any relevant field where they can demonstrate examples of good or positive practice. This can include any areas of business or management (e.g. marketing, operations, human resources, finance, revenue and yield management, etc).

 

Miscellaneous

FW: Call For Papers: 'Locating Leisure: Blurring Boundaries' - The annual conference of the Leisure Studies Association

 

 

From: list-owner@mail.atlas-euro.org [mailto:list-owner@mail.atlas-euro.org] On Behalf Of Fletcher, Tom
Sent: jeudi 10 décembre 2015 13:59
To: 'list@atlas-euro.org'
Subject: ATLAS list Call For Papers: 'Locating Leisure: Blurring Boundaries' - The annual conference of the Leisure Studies Association

 

Taking place between 5-7 July, the Leisure Studies Association Conference (LSA) 2016, hosted by Liverpool John Moores University, will challenge thinking around definitions and categories of leisure. Critical leisure studies has been founded on the questioning of boundaries such as work/leisure, agency/structure, and this conference seeks to continue this tradition. We’ll address the differing perspectives of a broadly defined ‘leisure’ from arts and culture to sport and wellbeing.

 

We are now accepting abstracts under the following subthemes:

 

Blurring Public/Private

This subtheme will explore the physical spaces of leisure experiences, those that take place in public spaces or within the privacy of the home and how these might intersect. It also looks at the future of leisure/cultural/sport policy and how this is played out in public and private spaces. This stream will also consider where those lines between publically and privately owned spaces blur and the leisure implications of this.

 

Blurring Offline/Online

Since the rise of public availability of the internet, people have more options in how they spend, organise, plan and commemorate their leisure times and experiences. At the launch and take-up of the internet, a trend of academic research grew that suggested online relationships were replacing offline ones. The assumption was that online relationships were stronger, clearer and more 'real' than those offline. Then, a second trend in the academic literature began that suggested that online and offline relationships blended together, the online supporting the offline. In recent years, either of these hypotheses could be true – with the added possibility that offline interactions could support those that are principally online. 'Virtuality' is in multiple facets of many people's every day leisure lives: shopping, dating, fan communities and holiday experiences. In this session we explore the potential for complex intermeshing of the online and the offline in leisure experiences, practices and relationships.

 

Blurring Centres/Edges

This subtheme considers the concept of the centres/edges binary in relation to physical space. For example, the notion that Liverpool is an edgy city has been explored extensively, we look at what this might mean in the leisure context. The idea that centres and edges could be located in different contexts such as access to leisure activity – this session will investigate what happens at the edges and margins of places, activities and policymaking.

 

Blurring Vernacular/Spectacular

We are increasingly coming to expect events and activities to be spectacular, to feed the imagination and defy our expectations. With each mega event comes an increasingly spectacular opening ceremony. This subtheme considers the relation between what is spectacular with what is mundane and the every day experiences of people. We’ll explore both the spectacular and the vernacular as well as possible synergies and intersections.

 

Researching leisure: Pushing the boundaries?

Presenting an opportunity to consider how we carry out our research, this subtheme looks at:

•Pushing the methodological boundaries in our research

•Challenging our ontological and epistemological groundings

•Putting theory to work in our research – what different theorists can offer leisure studies

•The relationship between our research, practice and policy

•Questions of ethics

•Historical perspectives of leisure

•Leisure legacies

 

 

Submissions of abstracts should be 250-350 words and submitted by email to LSA2016@ljmu.ac.uk by Friday 26 February 2016.

Please include the following in the abstracts:

 

•Proposed title of paper

•Proposed author names, position and full contact details

•Most relevant conference theme (Blurring Public/Private; Offline/Online; Centres/Edges; Vernacular/Spectacular; Pushing the boundaries?)

•Abstract main body, including background (outline of the context and/or academic literature informing the research), approach (indication of the broad theoretical orientation and/or methodological approach) and significance (description and application of the original research findings reported in the paper)

•Bibliographic references for any research cited in the abstract

IMTJ Academic Conference

'Medical tourism: Time for a check-up?'

25-26 May 2016

Madrid, Spain

 

Call for papers

 

Much research on 'medical tourism', 'international medical travel', 'cross-border healthcare' and 'transnational patient mobility' to date has focused on the hopes, motivations and experiences of mobile patients as well as on the desires, plans and expectations of the national destinations that attract and host them. By contrast, scant scholarly work has examined the concrete effects of this growing phenomenon on the diverse range of places, peoples, health and social systems, and industries in the areas where these patients habitually reside and, for medical travel destinations, in the particular local areas where these patients' (physical, symbolic and economic) presence can most be felt.

 

As a result, while more and more governmental and private-sector bodies in destinations are investing in the development of 'medical tourism', scant evidence is available to support, refute or complicate:

·  Popularised notions about who is actually travelling for what kinds of medical attention and treatment;

·  Claims that 'medical tourism' can serve as an engine for economic development in destinations or hinder/harm mobile patients' home and host health systems; and

·  Arguments about who benefits and who does not from 'medical tourism' and 'transnational patient mobility' strategies that are shifting and evolving in line with emerging and changing market, social and political situations both within and beyond national borders.

This two-day conference therefore aims to bring together scholars from academic and research institutions from around the globe in order to critically examine and discuss existing and emerging national, sub-national, transnational and cross-sectoral strategies for the following:

·  Promoting and dissuading 'medical tourism' and 'transnational patient mobility' in and between source and destination sites, in order to draw attention to the diversity of stakeholders, interests and scales involved;

·  Evaluating and managing the range of real and expected impacts of (diverse stakeholders' investments in) 'medical tourism' and 'transnational patient mobility' in and between source and destination sites, in order to move beyond an unproductive circulation of often poorly-grounded claims and counter-claims; and

·  Identifying and assessing the real-life needs, desires, expectations and practices of a broader range of foreign healthcare-users and -consumers, in order to recognise not only the great diversity of mobile patients (e.g., geographical origins, socio-economic and political status, etc.) but also other resident 'foreigners' (e.g., expatriates, lifestyle migrants, foreign students, etc.) who make use of 'medical tourism' resources.

 

We invite scholars to submit papers that critically engage with the above-mentioned issues. Papers focused on multi-scalar and cross-sectoral governance of 'medical tourism' and 'transnational patient mobility' initiatives, partnerships and networks as well as those examining how 'medical tourism' and 'transnational patient mobility' fit within broader development objectives (e.g., transition towards the creative economy, biotech development, regional and city place-branding, etc.) are especially welcome.

 

The Academic Conference (25-26 May 2016) will overlap with the International Medical Travel Journal's (IMTJ) Medical Travel Summit (24-25 May 2016), which brings together governmental and industry representatives from around the world who are involved in the development of medical tourism. This will provide a unique opportunity for conference participants to attend parts of the IMTJ Summit and actively foster and engage in much-needed cross-sectoral knowledge exchange and dialogue.

 

To submit a paper proposal, please send an email with a 250-word abstract and a 100-word bio via http://summit.imtj.com/academic-application/ before 11 December 2015. Scholars and researchers in any stage of their career (e.g., PhD students, etc.) are encouraged to share their studies. Successful applicants will be contacted by 8 January 2016 and will be expected to register for the conference by 12 February 2016 to secure their place in the May 2016 conference programme. For further information about the call for papers, please contact a member of the Academic Advisory Board:
