Entangling with Keith Hollinshead’s Work

Covid-19 Vaccine Passports
Vaccine passport is a new term that has recently entered the vocabulary of nation-states and those involved in the travel industry. A passport is a tool through which individuals can be mobile internationally and by which they can be identified, tracked, and regulated. Although the introduction of vaccine passports has facilitated the reopening of borders and air travel and assists with reviving economic situations of nation-states, it also means…
Non-formal disaster education programs for school students in Iran
This study aims at identifying challenges of the existing disaster preparedness education programs for children in Iran. There are two main non-formal disaster education programs for preparing children for disasters: The Earthquake and Safety School Drill Program (ESSD) and Ready Students for Severe Days, or DADRAS. To implement these programs, different organizations work together. 48 interviewees participated in this study, including school stu…
Disrupting structural violence in South Africa through township tourism
This paper describes the potential that tourism encounters have in disrupting structural violence (conceptualized as silencing and invisibilization) in South Africa. Based on PhotoVoice research undertaken with a small number of residents of three Cape Town-area townships, we consider how residents’ descriptions of their encounters with the tourists can be seen as helping to “polish the wounds of the past” as they shared a sense of being seen and…
Exploring virtual reality experiences of slum tourism
The popularity of slum tourism has been growing and is a topic of substantial discussion. Proponents suggest tours bring awareness and economic opportunity, whereas others critique their voyeuristic nature and claims of community benefits. Virtual reality head mounted displays (VR HMDs) have become relatively accessible in recent years creating a visually immersive experience of a different environment. VR technology is being used by tourism prom…
Gendered tourism experiences in China
This paper presents research exploring the narratives Chinese women and men share online regarding gendered tourism experiences. Data were collected from 260 blog postings and resulting discussion threads on Chinese social media travel sites from March to November 2019. Search keywords included ‘gender,’ ‘women,’ ‘identity,’ ‘safety,’ ‘reasons women travel,’ ‘men’s resistance to women’s travel,’ and ‘sexual harassment.’ Through a critical discour…
South African township residents describe the liminal potentialities of tourism
The townships of South Africa are peri-urban neighbourhoods defined by racial segregation, economic disparity, and geographic isolation. A product of the racist policies of apartheid, these spaces exist as exclusively black or 'coloured' neighbourhoods that present limited opportunities for mobility for residents. Since the end of apartheid, townships have increasingly come up under the tourists' gaze as sites/sights of resistance, difference, an…
Settler colonialism, Indigenous cultures, and the promotional landscape of tourism in Ontario, Canada's ‘near North’
Settler colonialism relies upon a logic of elimination that strives to dissolve Indigenous culture and title to ancestral lands. In Canada, settler colonialism has steered not only oppressive state policy directions, but also settler narratives that essentialize and displace Indigenous Peoples and cultural connections to land. Tourism is an especially potent social force through which such settler stories can be perpetuated and resisted. The purp…
Co-creating an integrated curriculum alongside community partners
Traditional approaches to university education are not effective. Problematically, the emphasis in education is teaching rather than the ability for students to learn. Recognising the constraints of traditional instruction, we assembled a collegial team exploring a creative pedagogical tool to co-instruct and co-learn from our practice. Specifically, our contribution explores our process of co-creating an Integrated Curriculum Design (ICD) projec…
One Day of #Feminism
This article offers a critical analysis of the uses of the hashtag ‘#feminism’ on Twitter. To do so, we collected all English-language tweets shared publicly and containing the #feminism on Twitter in one 24-hour period and analyzed the content of those tweets. We found tweets with #feminism content served to (1) discuss understandings of feminism(s), (2) describe perceptions of feminists, (3) respond to/promote misogyny, and (4) express perceive…
