Learning objectives
The aims of the course are:
1 - Knowledge and understanding: to analyse the relationship between gender, generations and tourism; to understand some aspects of the nexus between tourism and sociocultural change and how tourism might evolve over the coming decades.
2 - Application of the acquired knowledge: to increase students’ methodological skills and competencies that will enable them conduct acceptable independent research in these areas.
Contents
The course aims to discuss:
the role played by tourism in the formation of gender identities and roles;
gender inequality in tourism;
the challenges posed to tourism by generational change;
the nexus between tourism and sociocultural change.
The course will use a generational approach to the study of tourism and its future development.
Detailed program
In the first part of the course, key concepts (both theoretical and methodological) are presented.
The second part of the course will focus on gendered tourism practices & gender stereotypes and inequalities in tourism
The third part of the course will be devoted to examining the relationship between tourism and generational turnover (travel trends across generations; young people and tourism) & the future of tourism.
