Critical Hospitality Studies SIG Symposium – program

UQ Tourism is hosting Prof Paul Lynch, from Napier University, in early September, and to coincide with his residence are hosting a CAUTHE SIG Critical Hospitality Studies Symposium. The Symposia theme is Exploring Hospitality as ‘a tool of social analysis’. Hospitality, in its broadest definition, is a relational concept, providing insights into exchanges (or controls) between host/s and guest/s (individuals or communities) and it can be applied to any context; domestic, social (civic/political), and/or commercial.

The event’s spirit is inclusive, supportive and developmental.

We offer a warm invitation to:

  1. Attend and participate
  2. Present a working paper, which ideally speaks to the theme (approx. 15 mins + Q&A)
