Ethnography as a backdoor to critical tourism studies
Indigenous-based tourism can alleviate poverty, yet its socioecological trade-offs remain poorly understood. This ethnobiology study examines the Uro people of Lake Titicaca, historically marginalized fishers once confined to floating islands made of totora sedge, to illustrate how tourism reshaped their livelihoods and environments within a couple of generations. It reveals how the Uro strategically leveraged their Traditional Ecological Knowled…
The Transition from Prison to Community
High US incarceration rates in the 1990s and early 2000s produced large cohorts of men and women who left prison and returned, disproportionately, to low-income communities of color. Called reentry, the transition from prison to community is a process of social integration where formerly incarcerated people establish, with variable success, a foundation of material security, and connections to major social institutions such as the family and the …

Monitoring the changing psychological profile of Church of England parochial clergy
The present study compares the psychological type and temperament profiles of 188 male and 124 female Church of England parochial clergy surveyed during 2017 and 2018 with the profiles of 626 clergymen and 237 clergywomen serving in the Church of England reported in an earlier study published in 2007. The data suggest a significant shift in psychological profile with increases in the Epimethean Temperament (from 31% to 42% among clergymen and 29%…
Why Do Neighbors Keep Their Distance? Evolutionary Psychology Theory and 2020 Covid-19 Travel Recovery in Central China
This study draws from Evolutionary Psychology Theory (EPT) and the risk perception literature to explore the complex influence of disasters on tourist behavior. It does so by analyzing Chinese domestic travel patterns in the city of Wuhan and environs (i.e. Hubei and Hunan Provinces) in 2019 and 2020, based on attraction ticket sales data from China's largest online travel agency, Ctrip (n = 673,742), and on semi-structured interviews (n = 17). F…
Fieldwork in pro-poor tourism
Tourism studies pay relatively little attention to the importance of reflexivity and metacognition. This article highlights the integral importance of explicitly considering reflexivity and metacognition issues as part of the research process when studying pro-poor tourism (PPT). Hence, the paper presents a reflexive and metacognitive account of the challenges and obstacles encountered while undertaking ethnographic fieldwork in PPT. Drawing on t…
Journal of a Voyage to New South Wales
There have always been more or less scientific travellers, but a new epoch began with the voyages of Captain James Cook. His first, on board the converted Whitby Collier HMS Endeavour, was the result of cooperation between the Admiralty and the Royal Society. This series only skims the surface of the rich collections of scientific travel books in the library of the Natural History Museum. From this volume we learn much about the voyage of the fir…
Resident support in China’s new national parks
Gaps persist in the literature on resident support for tourism in relation to protected area sustainability and resident satisfaction. This study extends Prism of Sustainability research to analyze these linkages, focusing on four communities of China’s newly established Shennongjia National Park. An ‘interpretation’ mixed methods research design focuses primarily on SEM and bootstrap analyses of surveys (n = 403) from 2018–19 fieldwork, augmente…
Extended reality and sustainable tourism
Through a critical pedagogical framework, global conservation initiatives are integrated to curate a transformational extended reality (XR) curriculum in nature-based tourism (NBT). This proposed design affects visitors’ protected area experience and supports human–wildlife relationships through XR exposure (before), peak NBT experiences (during), and post-experience reflections (after). The authors’ XR design entitled Knowing Wolves (KW) is insp…
Rural tourism and evolving identities of Chinese communities in forested areas
Rural China has faced considerable challenges in recent decades, leading to the dissolution of many state-owned forest farm communities and threatening sustainable development. There remains a need to understand the drivers and characteristics associated with these changes, including the influence of rural tourism on combating forest recession. This study addresses these concerns by constructing and applying a regional sociology framework to inve…
Tourism-induced landscape change along China’s rural-urban fringe
Since the 90s, tourism-induced landscape change has become a widespread phenomenon for villages outside major Chinese metropolises. Focusing on Zhangjiazha Village of central China, this study applies mixed methods to examine tourism-induced changes in landscape morphology, function, and structure. Results indicate that while Zhangjiazha’s tourism development has improved rural road quality, living conditions, and land-use efficiency, it has indu…
Scientific Travellers 1790-1877

Education researchers have been impacted by COVID-19 as school closures interrupted ongoing education research, including clinical trials, case study and ethnographic inquiry in schools, and longitudinal studies using federal, state, or district administrative data. The recommendations we present here focus on immediate and future actions education researchers can take to support public health and educational institutions dealing with a pandemic.…
Deposit modeling for archaeological projects
This paper considers the application of deposit modeling within archaeological projects, summarizing the results of a Historic England funded project aimed at developing “good practice” for the application of these techniques within terrestrial environments. It provides an overview of what deposit modeling is, the environments where it can be used and the methods most commonly used. The paper identifies a series of issues and challenges in using …

New Approaches to Mapping and Managing Palaeochannel Resources in the Light of Future Environmental Change
Abandoned river channels may provide rich primary sources of palaeoenvironmental and cultural information elucidating landscape evolution, climate change, vegetation history and human impact, especially since the beginning of the Holocene epoch. However, although potentially an important resource, palaeochannels are not often recorded systematically and only rarely enjoy robust statutory protection (in the UK as Sites of Special Scientific Intere…

Background and Foreground
Historians generally grumble at the liberties taken with letters and papers by editors and biographers in the past, while reviewers may complain at the professorial pomposities which interfere with the reader's interaction with the text. Certainly, reading is not a mere matter of information retrieval or of source-mining, but a meeting of minds, and any over-zealous editing which makes this more difficult will have failed. Editors, whether of jou…

The Environmental and Social Context of the Isleham Hoard
This paper describes the rediscovery of the exact location for the Isleham hoard ( tl 63197253) and presents the results of related fieldwork; it briefly reviews the metallurgical significance of the hoard, and discusses its local environmental and social context, as well as the distribution of founder's hoards within the Fenland region. The hoard was found to have been placed in a pit dug into a filled-in Bronze Age boundary ditch, next to a rec…
Scientific lectures
In the anatomy theatres of Renaissance Europe, professors became performers; and right down into the nineteenth century, seeing corpses cut up could entertain as well as enlighten an audience. From about 1700, lectures on natural philosophy escaped from universities and attracted a public looking for polite learning, and valuing science as a momentous part of high culture. A calm eloquence, some exciting experiments, and a framework of natural th…
Travels and science in Brazil
Bearing in mind the distinction between the universally-curious explorer and the scientist with a theory to test, we shall ask three questions as we look at scientific travellers coming to Brazil in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. These questions are: Why did they come? What did they notice? and What were the consequences of their work? In the early days, visitors were chiefly impelled by curiosity about the world and especially by the t…

‘Read until you hear the voices’; so the maxim goes for those who would engage with the Victorians. Let us try with Thomas Henry Huxley: A great chapter in the history of the world is written in the chalk. Few passages in the history of man can be supported by such an overwhelming mass of direct and indirect evidence as that which testifies to the truth of the fragment of the history of the globe, which I hope to enable you to read, with your own…

Sir Joseph Banks, PRS Mr Science 1778–1820
Following his early voyages to Labrador and Newfoundland, and then with Cook to the South Pacific, Banks was elected in 1778, at the age of 35, President of The Royal Society, a position held until his death 42 years later. From a present day perspective, his career appears to reflect the 'amateur' approach to science seen as typical of that time, but there are also contemporary resonances in his career in administration, his close links with gov…

Working in the glare of two cultures
Are there two, or only two, cultures; or is this idea the result of our expectation that there will always be two parties glaring at each other? And what effect did C. P. Snow's famous lecture have on the way that historians of science have gone about their business? Science has often been identified with illumination, with an increasing circle of light before which forces of darkness must retreat; but glare, blinding with science, can also occur…
