Forces of epistemic injustice: How the contemporary academic landscape is shaping equality, diversity and inclusion research in events management journals
This study examines the structural, political, and epistemic conditions shaping the production and publication of equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) research within events management journals. Drawing on interviews with authors and events journal editors, the findings reveal that EDI scholarship is often constrained, not by a lack of interest, but by misalignment between researchers’ commitments, and the neoliberal academic systems in which …
The development and trial of beyond 2050 polylogues as a tool for future-thinking in business tourism
In this methodology research letter, we describe the development, piloting and large-scale trial of an experimental concurrent group discussion approach. Specifically, we detail how we used provocative 2050 scenarios to ‘open up’ future thinking, facilitate multiple polylogues and efficiently collect large sample qualitative data. The method was trialled with 120 business tourism professionals at the International Congress and Convention Associat…
The use of tourism as a social intervention in indigenous communities to support the conservation of natural protected areas in Mexico
Tourism has been considered a tool for sustainable development (SD) of rural/indigenous communities living within natural protected areas (NPAs) since the 1980s. This article examines the use of tourism as a SD intervention in the management of NPAs. Based on the theory of social change and on the realist methodological approach to social research, the study focuses on the case of Mexico. It seeks to establish causal chains to identify mechanisms…
Evolution and Decline: Making Wholeness in a Time of Ecological Decline
Drawing on three key elements in Lonergan's thought-emergent probability, the triad of progress/decline/redemption, and the law of the cross-this paper explores the struggle to remake some sense of wholeness in an era of serve ecological decline and the cost to be paid to turn it around. It identifies political action as the most urgent arena for those seeking to redeem our present situation, while also acknowledging the important of personal and…
The Quest for the Historical Jesus as an Experiment in Theological Method: A Lonerganian Perspective
Bernard Lonergan developed his theological method as a response to the need to integrate historical studies into theological method. While his method is derived from his transcendental method, this paper argues that the last three centuries of the quest for the historical Jesus provide a test case against which to test Lonergan’s method. While critical historical method corresponds (more or less) to Lonergan’s first three functional specialties (…
Social Science and Ideological Critiques of Ecclesiology
Theology has long engaged philosophy as a dialogue partner, but the social sciences raise a new set of issues as both theology and the social sciences reflect concretely on the human condition. The problematic relationship between theology and the social sciences is perhaps nowhere more evident than in the area of ecclesiology. Whenever ecclesiology turns from more idealistic ahistorical forms of discourse to deal with the actual context and cons…
Founts of knowledge or delusions of grandeur? Limits and illusions of tourism research impact: A reply to Wood
The (almost) imperceptible impact of tourism research on policy and practice
Re-Visioning the Church: An Experiment in Systematic-Historical Ecclesiology
Theology and the new atheism: Science, religion and metaphysics
The 'new atheism' has difficulty distinguishing scientific issues from metaphysical ones. Still many theologians and philosophers have the same difficulty. This paper argues for the necessity of something like what Bernard Lonergan calls 'intellectual conversion' to help make this distinction. Drawing on the work of physicist Lawrence Krauss and Augustine's narrative of his own intellectual conversion, the paper illustrates the confusions that ar…
