Identifying higher education research priorities at a regional Australian university
Setting priorities is crucial for optimising research in resource-constrained environments, so we identify higher education (HE) research priorities at one regional Australian university. Employing constructivism, we conducted a three-round modified-Delphi with an expert panel (n = 64) using online questionnaires. Analysis included descriptive statistics (quantitative items), and content/theme analysis (qualitative). We collected 37 panellist-ide…
Intergenerational Experiences of Belonging and Place‐Attachment Amid Environmental Challenges in Regional Australia
Recent scholarship has turned to the concept of ‘intergenerational belonging’ and to questions about how belonging is navigated and experienced in contexts marked by environmental challenges. This article contributes to each of these bodies of literature by considering how members of different age cohorts experience, perform and represent belonging and place attachment in a regional Australian suburb undergoing significant environmental change. I…
Role identities of adventure tour operators in national parks
As the demand for adventure tourism in national parks increases, the number of adventure tour operators also increases, and the debate regarding their presence in national parks ensues. This paper focuses on the operators’ interpretation of adventure tourism in New South Wales (NSW) national parks, and explores why the operators have particular perspectives on adventure tourism in national parks. This paper draws on identity theory as a foundatio…
Between a rock and a hard place
The recent closure of the Uluru climb marked a pivotal moment in Australia's tourism history. Uluru in the Northern Territory has long been a contested symbolic tourist site subject to competing narratives of its significance as a tourist icon and Aboriginal cultural landscape. This study examines tourist responses to the climb closure through a netnographic analysis of TripAdvsior content. The findings uncover enduring tensions in tourist percep…
A diverse economies approach for promoting peace and justice in volunteer tourism
The extent to which volunteer tourism can contribute to peace promotion through intercultural exchange and understanding is a central theme in this paper. We present the tensions of situating volunteer tourism within a broader tourism industry that promotes hyper-consumption and homogenous development discourses. As volunteer tourism becomes increasingly commodified and co-opted by a profit-driven industry that perpetuates neoliberal capitalism a…

Understanding the Relationship Between Urban-Centric Locale and Teachers’ Perceptions of School Leadership as a Working Condition
Using the 2012 North Carolina Teacher Working Conditions Survey data, school demographic information, and school’s urban-centric locale census designation, hierarchical linear modeling was conducted to examine the relationship between locale and teachers’ perceptions of school leadership as a working condition and explore any variance in the relationship between school contextual factors and teachers’ perceptions of school leadership associated w…
Host gazes from an Islamic island
Resident perception research orthodoxies have dominated academic literature for the past two decades. Homogenised host gaze outcomes have been crafted from decades of surveys that largely overlook the perspectives of non-Western less-developed host communities, including residents of remote island locations. Indeed, despite the popularity of islands as destinations, little is known about residents’ interpretations of tourism prior to the potentia…
Building capacity in a regional business community through engaged scholarship
Leisure and tourism industries in regional areas are dominated by both small- and medium-sized businesses, collectively referred to as small-to-medium tourism enterprises. This paper presents a case study that describes a research initiative that was developed to engage with the wine tourism and related leisure industries of the Hunter Valley in New South Wales, Australia, where small-to-medium tourism enterprises have proliferated. The case stud…
Evaluating volunteer tourism
This paper examines the challenges of evaluating volunteer tourism and looks towards possibilities for rethinking the ways in which the phenomenon is conceptualised. We reflect on the debates and practices that have emerged since the first theoretical exploration introduced over 15 years ago in a book titled Volunteer tourism: Experiences that make a difference. This review paper commences with a discussion of the criticisms that have been target…
Mediating global citizenry
Research concerned with global citizenry in tourism is often focused on the potential outcomes of educational travel on the global competencies of student travellers. The experiential learning of educational travel – increasingly represented by short-term, faculty-led programmes – can be transformative for students. It is argued that educational travel shifts the focus of young people from a narrow or self-oriented position, to a broader and more…
Building sense of community in youth vacation camps through staff training
This study examines a sense of community developed by and among staff at two diverse youth vacation programmes. In-depth interviews and non-participant observations conducted with counselors and camp directors at each camp were the methods used by this study to collect data. Inclusion boundaries and episodic distinction are the two themes that emerged from the data. The findings reveal that both camps sought to establish a sense of community thro…
Urban Development and the Leisure Dilemma
This paper examines the leisure and recreation activities and experiences of people living in urban residential estates in the Lower Hunter, New South Wales. Drawing on data collected in household surveys of residents aged 14 years and over in four residential estates, this paper profiles the respondents themselves, describes their leisure preferences and activities, and explains how they felt about how they experienced the leisure and recreation…
