Research Projects
Diaspora Communities, Cultural Festivals and Tourism
This project focuses on diaspora community festivals in contexts of inter-culturalism, community cohesion, cultural change and tourism. Recent work in this area has been in connection with Chinese community festivals in British cities.
Tourism and Cultural Policies in European Union Accession States
This research project focuses on the connections and discontinuities between cultural policies and tourism in the 'new' accession European Union member states. The supervisory team have an established track record of research in this area of research and appropriate links with collaborating agencies.
The Role of the Archaeologist in Tourism Development
In various economies where archaeological remains are mobilised as heritage attractions, or hold potential to be so, the archaeologist has a role to play. However, the type and extent of such a role is varied in scope and influence. This project will examine the changing role of the archaeologist, and of archaeology, in the processes of contemporary tourism development, policy and management and will have particular reference to the Levant.
Tourism and Changing Ideas of Englishness
The variety of rituals, practices, materialities and discourses which feed the intangible notion of Englishness is widely assumed as a major attraction for international visitors. This project examines the contested notion of contemporary Englishness as it is harnessed by various tourism organisations and is received by an increasingly diverse and dynamic body of tourists.
Music in the Tourist Experience
Music shares a close relationship with travel and tourism as forms of expression, anticipation and representation and also as an attraction in itself. This project examines the nature and extent of this relationship as it unfolds within different settings, genres and groups.
