Promoting university students' situational engagement in online learning for climate education
Disengagement in online learning is known to pose a risk to student learning and wellbeing. In this paper, we first introduce the development and implementation process of a set of online university climate education courses aimed at enhancing student situational engagement through diverse learning activities. Second, engagement (conceptualized here as the co-occurrence of interest, skill, and challenge, i.e., optimal learning moments), and activ…
Exploring young people’s perceived climate change competence
The climate change knowledge of young people is frequently assessed in research, but their perceived level of competence is seldom considered. We approached this research gap by exploring young people's perceptions on their climate change competence in terms of coping with and adapting to climate change. We collected 349 responses from a large Finnish scouting event in summer 2022 with a 20-item climate change competence perceptions questionnaire…
Landscapes as Multispecies Matters
Animals are important players in tourism but their presence and agency in the formation of tourist landscapes has been largely disregarded. Landscapes are often considered to be unchanging material surfaces shaped through culture, thus leaving only a limited role for animals. Drawing on non-representational ideas of landscape, I focus on the (re)formation of a local tourist landscape that takes place in the unfolding atmospheric practices of mush…
Mobile video ethnography for evoking animals in tourism
Methodologies to account for animal agency in tourism are still in their infancy. This paper extends developments that seek to enrich methodologies for studying the role of animals in tourism by arguing that methods relying solely on talk- and text-based accounts struggle to appreciate the moving encounters between human and non-human animals. Hence, the paper embraces the opportunities afforded through moving image methodologies by exploring mob…
The disruptive 'other'? Exploring human-animal relations in tourism through videography
Although there is a growing body of literature focusing on the use of qualitative research approaches for understanding human-animal relations, surprisingly little attention has been devoted to the topic in tourism studies. In particular, the central role played by animals in the tourism industry and thus in the creation of tourism experiences calls for a more critical reflection on the methodologies through which the relations and encounters bet…
