Americans do not select their doctors based on race
To what extent do Americans racially discriminate against doctors? While a large literature shows that racial biases pervade the American healthcare system, there has been no systematic examination of these biases in terms of who patients select for medical treatment. We examine this question in the context of the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, where a wealth of qualitative evidence suggests that discrimination against some historically margin…
Temporal and Spatial Patterns of Ship Traffic in the Canadian Arctic from 1990 to 2015 + Supplementary Appendix 1
The limited availability of consistent, longitudinal data sources for marine traffic in Arctic Canada has presented significant challenges for researchers, policy makers, and planners. Temporally and spatially accurate shipping data that reveal historical and current traffic trends are vital to plan safe shipping corridors, develop infrastructure, plan and manage protected areas, and understand the potential environmental and cultural impacts of …
Management challenges for the fastest growing marine shipping sector in Arctic Canada
Changing environmental conditions in the Canadian Arctic are associated with an increase in marine tourism. A substantial decline in the extent of ice coverage in the summer season has resulted in greater accessibility for all categories of ships, and the tourism sector has been quick to respond to new opportunities. This increase in vessel traffic has raised significant issues for management, and particular concerns about the pleasure craft (non…
Exploring post-course outcomes of an undergraduate tourism field trip to the Antarctic Peninsula
A small number of educational programmes for university students include field experience in Antarctica. These programmes contain a range of educational objectives, approaches and academic assessment related to the field component and the intended on-site learning for students. However, it is possible that the on-site experiences of students in these programmes have an influence on later decisions and behaviour beyond the course itself in the yea…
Résilience, appartenance et tourisme à Nain, Nunatsiavut
Dans le cadre de notre projet de recherche sur la vulnérabilité et la résilience du tourisme dans l'Arctique, nous avons évalué les interactions entre le changement climatique et le tourisme dans les communautés de l'Arctique canadien. Dans cet article, nous nous intéressons à la capacité d'adaptation en présentant les résultats d'entrevues menées à Nain au Nunatsiavut, dans la province de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador. Alors que de nombreux résidents …
Local-level responses to sea ice change and cruise tourism in Arctic Canada's Northwest Passage
This article examines the interactions between sea ice change and patterns of cruise ship tourism through the Northwest Passage of Arctic Canada and how local communities are responding to this change. During the period 2006–2010, the Passage has emerged as the most popular expedition cruise area in the Canadian Arctic with an increase in planned cruises by 70%. This dramatic increase in cruise traffic has been, in part, facilitated by improved a…
Polar tourism
A Review of Tourism Research in the Polar Regions
Polar travel has grown dramatically in the last two decades and in recent years has become the focus of academic inquiry. Using a model initially developed for understanding the nature of culture, action, and knowledge in the development of human geography, we explore the nature, scale, and scope of research related to tourism in the Arctic and the Antarctic. We take a comparative approach to highlight the tourism issues that are largely similar …

Evaluating the effectiveness of visitor-regulation strategies for polar tourism
The regulation of tourism in polar areas is increasingly of concern to scientists, policy makers, tourists, and tourist operators who wish to control negative impacts and promote positive ones. Given the growing emphasis on finding and using appropriate ways to control visitors to the polar regions, it is important to examine issues related to the effectiveness of individual measures of regulation and the broader strategies that are in effect in …

Polar Tourism Implications and Management
Polar tourism regulation strategies
Controlling visitor impacts in polar regions continues to be important in both the Antarctic and Arctic. Concerns relate to impacts on the physical environment, cultural heritage, and host communities or scientific bases, as well as a recognition that safety and liability are major issues for governments, commercial operators, and local populations. Strategies for controlling tourists include visitor and operator codes and formal legislation. Thi…

Polar Tourism. Tourism in the Arctic and Antarctic Regions
Influence of learning context on the relationship between A‐level attainment and final degree performance
This study reports a meta‐analysis of the published literature on the relationship between GCE A‐level attainment and degree performance. Effect sizes were computed based on 60 univariate analyses from 20 published studies spanning a period of 40 years. Results show the relationship between A‐level attainment and degree performance to be small but significant, to be stronger for university than for polytechnic graduates, and to differ according t…
Challenge and danger in the development of mountain recreation in New Zealand, 1890-1940
Geographic perspectives on recreational resources
Diffusion and Difference
Mountain recreation occurs within a particular context of place and time. Comparison within and between countries reveals both similarities and differences in the ways in which individuals undertake particular activities. It is primarily at the subcultural level that individuals learn and recreate appropriate behaviour and views for the activity. This paper explores the process through which specific subcultural framework for mountain climbing wa…
