Methodological reflections on tracing networked images
Purpose Many scholars highlight a need for reflexive methodological accounts to support visual research. Therefore, this paper offers detailed reflection on the methods involved in tracing and analysing 248 commercial images of entrepreneurship. This account supports our published work examining entrepreneurial masculinities and femininities, which conceptualised the gendering of entrepreneurial aesthetics, and proposed the significance of image …
Mapping embodiment across the nexus of gender, tourism, and entrepreneurship
Informed by critical perspectives on embodiment, our article demonstrates how gendered assumptions reproduce and sustain particular bodies. We investigate how bodies are constructed across academic and policy literatures within entrepreneurship and tourism domains. To do so, we conducted a reflexive thematic analysis of relevant entrepreneurship, tourism, and gender scholarship and mapped thematic embodied tensions. These five thematic tensions -…
Tracing networked images of gendered entrepreneurship online
This paper explores the importance of visualization online and the gendering of entrepreneurship in contemporary neoliberal times. We investigate how understandings of entrepreneurship are shaped by online imagery. Applying visual critical methodology, we trace and analyze 248 commercial images. Our analytic work explicates the visual construction of male and female entrepreneurs, leading us to further examine appearance, (in)action, and interact…
Provenance representations in craft beer
This paper explores the value of provenance representations in the marketing and promotion of craft beers, which have seen an increase in sales in recent years. A cross-comparative analysis of qualitative data from the labels of 118 craft beers in Wales (UK) and 124 in Brittany (France) identifies an abundant use of cultural representations, especially language, symbols and folklore. Findings point to the value of craft brewing in supporting loca…
Intergenerational Mentorship in Pedagogical Design and Delivery
Existing scholarship exploring the notion of mentorship in academic environments typically reflects support for negotiating tenure. This form of mentorship supports an established scholar to aid in the professional development of a junior scholar. The unilateral nature of this form of mentorship is critiqued for reifying power dynamics. Absent from this literature, and more specifically from tourism research, are discussions and analyses of recip…
Women’s outdoor adventure experiences on Instagram: Exploring user-generated content
Little is known about how everyday women self-present their outdoor adventure experiences, and how these compare to mainstream media, which often reinforces narratives of hegemonic masculinity. To better understand how everyday women portray their outdoor adventure experiences, we examine user-generated content on Instagram associated with the hashtags #womenoutdoors, #womeninadventure and #shewentwild. In total, 1154 posts were collected. Analys…
Between space and place in mountaineering: Navigating Risk, Death, and Power
The liminal status of mountains makes them attractive destinations for adventure, and related tourism and recreation activities. Stemming from critiques of Nepal's growing adventure tourism industry, and recognising the centrality of Sherpas' roles within it, of interest are the ways Climbing Sherpas experience liminality in mountaineering. Liminality, an anthropological concept introduced by Arnold van Gennep (1960 van Gennep, A. (1960). The rit…
Moral decision making, religious strain, and the experience of moral injury
Overall, these findings suggest that religious functioning and moral decision making are important aspects of the experience of moral injury and are worthy of future study. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)
Tableforone: Exploring representations of dining out alone on Instagram
In contemporary western society connections with others have become more fluid. This fluidity, in turn, impacts how people think about, understand, and engage in leisure. For instance, more people are choosing to partake in leisure practices that have traditionally been done in the company of others, alone. Yet people who choose to engage in solo leisure may face stigmatization for doing so. With these ideas in mind, the purpose of this paper is …
Onto-Epistemological and Theoretical Engagements Through Praxis and Beyond: Comfort, Crises, Shifts, and Re-Groupings
In 2014, Berbary and Boles challenged our field to think critically about onto-epistemological and macro theoretical underpinnings of leisure research. In particular, the call was made to understand how researchers position themselves, their participants, and their research processes within particular frames or paradigms that attend differently to notions such as truth, power, subjectivity, rationality, language, and representation. Recognizing o…

Volunteer tourism: Popular humanitarianism in neoliberal times
Organic farm volunteering as a decommodified tourist experience
Volunteer tourism has been shown to foster cross-cultural understanding between participants and hosts. Providing opportunities to connect with like-minded participants, volunteer tourism experiences encourage consciousness-raising and future social and environmental actions. However, the laudable aims of volunteer tourism have been critiqued as their transformative capacities are overshadowed by industry attributes. Volunteering on organic farms…
