JUST TOUR Seminar Series: Tourism (in)justice: Entanglements of People, Place and Environment
Since the early days of justice research tourism scholars have developed diverse conceptual and practice approaches to justice and human-environment relationships. These approaches have added valuable knowledge to understanding the multiscalar geographies and political drivers of tourism’s environmental impacts and how they unfold in relation to different economic sectors and community experiences. This JUST TOUR seminar aims to draw together several interdisciplinary approaches to justice and human-environment relationships, considering links between tourism’s environmental impacts and community experiences, yet also explore how justice may be further embedded in tourism development.

JUST TOUR Seminar Series: Tourism (in)justice: Entanglements of People, Place and Environment
Our second seminar will be Wednesday 12 February 2025, at 3.30pm (GMT / UK Time).
Since the early days of justice research tourism scholars have developed diverse conceptual and practice approaches to justice and human-environment relationships. These approaches have added valuable knowledge to understanding the multiscalar geographies and political drivers of tourism’s environmental impacts and how they unfold in relation to different economic sectors and community experiences. The insights, however, from these multiple lines of inquiry have rarely been brought into dialogue.
This JUST TOUR seminar aims to draw together several interdisciplinary approaches to justice and human-environment relationships, considering links between tourism’s environmental impacts and community experiences, yet also explore how justice may be further embedded in tourism development.
