Theory and action
The study of democratization processes undergoes constant revitalization within the discipline. CER enables the inclusion of diverse voices, experiences, frameworks, and questions which might challenge conventional explanations. This article explores how the Environmental Justice (EJ) movement contributes to understanding democracy, emphasizing the role of engaged research. It delves into the adoption and application of the Jemez Principles for D…
“Making the wolffish personal”
Promoting an alternative understanding of sustainability based on interspecies equity has become increasingly important in the tourism sector. We present an analysis of interspecies relationships to more deeply inform biocultural conservation interventions and the sustainable management of marine tourism destinations. By applying the critical biocultural identity framework to a qualitative case study, we explore how relationships between tourism …
Saving animals or saving face? Avoiding welfare-washing in animal tourism partnerships
Across the globe, millions of animals are utilized in the tourism industry every year. The complexities involved in animal tourism, and the conflicting interests of stakeholders, has led to travel and tourism companies forming partnerships with animal welfare organizations. In this paper, we postulate that these partnerships not be taken at face value as an advance toward animal justice. Additionally, we suggest that while animal advocacy groups …
What do we mean by “community”? Defining community for civically engaged research

Indigenous Autonomy in Latin America
This paper asserts that critiques of political science for neglecting Indigenous politics highlight a critical gap that risks overlooking significant conceptual and practical innovations. It emphasizes how Indigenous autonomy claims challenge traditional notions of sovereignty. Scholars of Indigenous politics in Latin America, publishing in area studies journals, provide essential insights into these autonomy claims and contribute valuable perspe…
Local food systems and health interventions
According to the most recent food insecurity statistics published by the USDA Economic Research Service approximately 10.5% of US households face low or very low food security. However, not all geographic regions of the US share the same risks regarding food insecurity, especially considering that communities and individuals in the rural south are more likely to live in contexts of poverty. In fact, statistics from the USDA find that the state of…
Animal Traffic
Animal Traffic is a probing and digestible read about the exotic “pet” trade. Collard contextualizes the animals involved as “lively objects”—their personalities and individual characteristics are enjoyed and encouraged—up to the point when they must be constrained to fit into a distinctly human way of existing. For some, this may include performing as a revenue stream for others, or it may mean to simply exist within our confines and represent o…
Civically engaged research in political science
In political science, there are growing calls for scholarship to engage directly and equitably with communities and other research stakeholders. We build on, and advance, this emerging methodological literature by revisiting the conventional research process, and provide an adaptable guide scholars can use to develop and undertake a collaborative and civically engaged research project. We outline key considerations and decisions to be made at eac…
Come on, baby, smile
Anger, an emotional response to an external or internal perceived threat, violation, or injustice can be a powerful tool and motivator, especially in the case of women who have historically lived in a society steeped in patriarchal structures. This inequity within patriarchal societies often intersects with deeply ingrained racist, homophobic, ableist, and sexist stereotypes. Although anger has been explored within the broader context of leisure,…
Can craft beverages shape a destination’s image? A cognitive intervention to measure pisco-related resources on conative image
Morality on holiday
Despite the progression of animal welfare within the tourism literature and the industry itself, a significant change in public behaviour remains to be seen. Anthropocentric views of animals as objects are still widespread. This paper proposes a new approach to engaging the public in ethical behaviours by meeting visitors where they are in terms of their values and priorities. Drawing on Susan Wolf’s work, we propose a realistic line of attack to…
Making kin and making sense of human-animal relations in tourism
The aim of this study is to explore how tourism operators make sense of the abilities and needs of working animals during the co-creation of a tourism experience in order to make kin across species. We refer to sense-making as the process in which tourism actors interpret the context, plans, actions and outcomes relating to animal-based tourism. We examine this phenomenon through the eco-feministic lens of making kin and staying with the trouble …
Wildlife Equity Theory for Multispecies Tourism Justice
The planet is facing social-environmental crises that include climate change, biodiversity loss, mass extinctions, and unsustainable consumption and production. These issues are rooted in hegemonic patriarchy and built on practices of continued inequity. Wildlife tourism could address some of these issues, but instead it is exacerbated by social-ecological challenges and various levels of hierarchical injustices. The SDGs were intended to facilit…
The Open Marxism of José Carlos Mariátegui
The contextual and challenging Marxism of José Carlos Mariátegui allowed for the opening of a theory often considered rigid and closed. Likewise, the current project of open Marxism resists a theory that accepts the limits found in a given world as its own theoretical limits. Engagement with some of the ideas of Mariátegui might help elucidate the openness of his Marxism and offer different perspectives and theoretical directions to that project.…
Exploring non-human work in tourism
Critical animal studies is increasingly interfacing with tourism research in an effort to shed light on the various ways animals are incorporated into touristic experience. Exploring non-human work in tourism: From beasts of burden to animal ambassadors builds upon the theoretical connections of animal ethics, agency, and welfare as it foregrounds specifically the work that animals perform in the industry. While some types of animal labor are mor…

Diversifying eastern North Carolina heritage sites
Tour guides from six eastern North Carolina heritage sites were interviewed to assess African-American participation. The selected sites included museums, plantations, and districts, half owned by the state and half in private ownership. The interview data provided reasons for lack of African-American participation, which exhibits drew African-American interest, and potential solutions to boost African-American participation. Sites were also asse…
Applying the community capitals framework to the craft heritage trails of western North Carolina
HandMade in America, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation of craft heritage, identified tourism as an economic development strategy for their service area, the North Carolina Appalachian Mountains. In 1996, HandMade released a guidebook, The Craft Heritage Trails of Western North Carolina, which was designed to draw visitors to rural mountain communities where they could discover artists among the surroundings where they draw in…
An exploration of recreational activities while travelling relative to psychographic tendencies
Through focusing on active and adventure tourism, a niche of travel becoming increasingly relevant today, this study investigated the association between the preferred recreation activities of individuals while travelling and their psychographic profile characteristics based on Plog’s [(1972). Why destination areas rise and fall in popularity. Paper presented to the Travel Research Association, Southern California Chapter, Los Angeles] model of a…
Scientific Tourism
As researchers in emerging economies, scientists are often the first foreign visitors to stay in remote rural areas and, on occasion, form joint venture ecotourism and community tourism projects or poverty alleviation schemes between local agencies or NGOs, the local community, and their home institution or agency. They therefore can contribute to avenues for the conservation of natural resources and the development of rural communities as well a…
The impacts of local arts agencies on community placemaking and heritage tourism
The arts and culture have been shown to foster economic development by attracting workers and businesses in the knowledge industry, spurring tourism, and improving the housing market. However, beyond financial capital, they significantly impact other forms of capital in the community, as well. The Community Capital Framework (CCF) is an analytical tool widely used to observe and critique the relationships among various types of community assets: …

Ten Categories of Entrepreneurial Climate to Encourage Rural Tourism Development
Entrepreneurship has been embraced in the last decade as a strategy for rural economic development, especially in areas where traditional industries have declined. Rural tourism development, which is largely leisure‐based and can encompass many segments of tourism such as agritourism, ecotourism, and cultural‐heritage tourism, has also emerged as a tactic for communities to tap into their natural and cultural assets as a means of sustainable reve…

An exploration of gendered systems theory on women-owned businesses in emerging tourism destinations
The impacts of tourism on host communities are numerous, complex, and at times nuanced. As a result, tourism researchers have placed heavy emphasis on the exploration and identification of these impacts, including how the community responds. Some of the more understated impacts, such as the role of women in tourism development, can be more difficult to understand. This is especially the case in emerging destinations, where communities in the prim…

Perceived Impact of a Naval Base on a Tourism Destination
Perceptions toward tourism development have been explicitly and extensively investigated within the tourism literature. However, there is little study of perceptions toward non-tourism development (NTD) in tourist destinations. NTD in a tourist destination may be unavoidable, because as tourism grows, the destination may need more facilities and infrastructure to meet the needs of tourists and residents. Alternatively, the NTD may not enhance tou…

A Spatial Analysis of Tourism, Entrepreneurship and the Entrepreneurial Ecosystem in North Carolina, USA
In light of the projected long-term national economic trends, the vulnerability of rural regions, and the difficulty of small businesses to stay solvent, it is imperative to understand the critical elements within a small business' operating environment or “ecosystem” that support or thwart entrepreneurial activity. Using the 100 counties of North Carolina as a case study, the purpose of this research project was to determine which entrepreneuria…
