*Apologies for cross posting*
Extended Deadline – 10th Feb
Call For Papers: RGS-IBG Annual Conference, London, 30th Aug - 2nd Sept 2016.
The Landscapes of Leisure & Tourism: the nexus of space, place and embodied experience.
Sponsored by the Geographies of Leisure and Tourism Research Group (GLTRG) and the Postgraduate Forum (PGF)
This session is aimed at all levels of academic experience, postgraduates and early career researchers who would like an opportunity to present their research in a supportive and constructive academic environment, and at researchers at all stages of their careers that are interested in presenting papers that actively engage with discussions on current and emerging theoretical or methodological innovations in the field of Leisure and Tourism.
The Landscapes of Leisure and Tourism is intended to cover a broad spectrum of research; papers are welcome from any area of geographies that look at spaces which are traversed, enjoyed and explored by people. It welcomes researchers to engage in a space to debate current political, social, environmental and economic geographies of tourism and leisure spaces. The session will be a great opportunity for early career and postgraduate researchers to gain experience presenting their work to an encouraging audience.
In this session we will provide a forum for discussion around the geographies of leisure spaces and tourism in all its guises and how these have developed in recent years interconnecting with cultural practices, values and wider society, in keeping with the conference theme, Nexus.
Potential topics (but not limited to) as follows; •The role of media in constructing tourism spaces.
•How tourism influences the use and construction of space and place.
•Music Spaces; eg festivals, clubs & gigs.
•Dark Tourism's.
•Leisure Spaces; eg NTE (night time economy), pubs, drinking / drug spaces.
•Youth Leisure Spaces.
•Embodied reflexive research; accounts and reflections on research and fieldwork spaces, places and embodied experiences e.g. power relations, relationships with space, gender relations.
We invite empirical and theoretical papers around these themes and others related to the landscapes of leisure and tourism, we also encourage papers from all theoretical approaches and alternative forms of presentation.
Please send abstracts (approx. 250 words) and indication of preferred session to Eve Buck-Matthews ([log in to unmask]), Centre for Trust, Peace & Social Relations, Coventry University, or Heather Jeffrey ([log in to unmask]), Middlesex University Business School, by February 10th 2016.
