Over the past four conferences, Critical Tourism Studies has profiled itself as a network of scholars who share a vision of producing and promoting social change in and through tourism practice, research and education. It has done this so far by seeking to legitimise the critical school of thought in tourism studies and by providing an inclusive environment for new and alternative voices in the academy. The fifth conference in the series focuses on whether and how the ‘production and promotion of social change’ can be facilitated and achieved. In this context scholars from tourism studies and the wider social sciences were invited to explore the potential of critical practice and activism in academia, and the role of the academic community in achieving social change. Presentations are available online.
