  • Beyond Confessional Cultures

    Open AccessClaudia Eger, Mustafa F ÖzbilginARTICLEGender Work and Organization2026References: 11

    This paper interrogates the confessional foundations of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) work, which have emerged predominantly from Global North traditions rooted in Christian understandings of subjectivity. In such traditions, identity is asserted through self‐declaration, visibility, and vocal articulation of difference, what we term a confessional culture. Drawing on Foucauldian critiques, we explore how this imperative to “confess” pro…

  • Gender and Tourism Sustainability

    Claudia Eger, Ana María Munar et al.BOOKGender and Tourism Sustainability2023

    This book examines the relationship between gender and sustainability in tourism. Whilst an extensive body of work exists in the areas of gender and sustainability, these two fields of knowledge are seldom combined to examine tourism phenomena. When we look at the evolution of tourism, we see that sustainability has become an essential element in educational programmes, policy making and strategic considerations for organisations and destinations…

  • Gender and tourism sustainability

    Claudia Eger, Ana María Munar et al.ARTICLEJournal of Sustainable Tourism2022

    It is long overdue for tourism research to move beyond the basic question of whether gender matters, because there is no humanity (or human phenomenon) without gender dimensions. Instead this article asks how does it matter? It does so by challenging tourism sustainability knowledges from the perspective of feminist epistemologies. It presents a broad and necessary conceptualization of gender which includes the spectrums of sex, sexuality, gender…

  • Gender matters

    Open AccessClaudia EgerARTICLEAnnals of Tourism Research2021Cited by: 5References: 40

    The intersection of violence and gender matters in tourism, with violence being both a cause and consequence of gender inequality. This article establishes a conversation with the works of Judith Butler and Slavoj Žižek to rethink theories of violence and to develop a theoretical framework that captures the nuances and complexities of gender-based violence. Violence does not happen “elsewhere”, rather the potential for violence forms part of huma…

  • Tourism and gender-based violence

    Jannick Friis Christensen, Paola Vizcaino-Suárez et al.EDITORBOOKTourism and Gender-Based Violence2020

    This chapter presents a critical synthesis of a range of literature from tourism studies, organization studies and the wider social sciences, and has two interrelated aims. First, to locate gender-based harassment (GBH) as an issue in the tourism academy and thereby de-isolate, empower and reassure victims/survivors that they are not alone in experiencing such ordeals. Second, by discussing the issue, to create a lexicon for resistance and recove…

  • Gender and capacity building

    Open AccessClaudia Eger, Graham Miller et al.ARTICLEWorld Development2018Cited by: 19References: 17

    This study shifts the focus from building individual capacities to understanding the relational acts \nthrough which empowerment and education acquire their value and meaning. Conceptually, the paper \nemploys social cognitive theory to explore the interplay between social learning, relational agency, \nand culture. This interplay builds the foundation for the development of an empowerment model of \ncapacity building that proposes an interlinked…
