ESRC Seminar Series
Tourism, Inequality and Social Justice
SIX SEMINARS funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) are to be co-jointly hosted by the Welsh Centre for Tourism Research at UWIC’s Cardiff School of Management and the Centre for Leisure, Tourism and Society (CeLTS) at the University of the West of England and the University of Stirling.
The seminars will draw together academics, postgraduate students, policymakers and practitioners engaged in theoretical and applied work that seeks to address issues of exclusion, inequality and social justice in tourism. The series will provide an inclusive and inter-disciplinary forum for the development of a network that will address the following:
- Tourism-related experiences of inequality/injustice in different societies and destinations;
- Linkages between tourism, poverty, inequality and injustice;
- The role of social class, gender, ethnicity, age and disability in tourism-related social exclusion;
- Academic tourism research and its relevance to inequality/social justice;
- Pro-poor tourism policies and practices in poverty alleviation;
- Tourism studies and policies in relation to human rights and fair trade;
- Future policy attempts to develop and deliver social justice in and through tourism.
