Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this chapter, the editors of the book introduce the reader to learning in a sustainable tourism context. Learning and personal development have emerged as motivations and interests in tourism and travel, in line with societal and market changes. This transformation relates to, for instance, the climate crisis, the Covid-19 pandemic, rapid technological developments, and the fact that travellers are more experienced, knowledgable and aware. Learning and the collaborative production of knowledge is also seen as a necessity for dealing with threats to climate, biodiversity, welfare, security and democracy. The purpose of this book is to explore how tourism, knowledge and learning can be used as means towards sustainable development through current, new or changed structures, concepts, activities and communication efforts. In this first chapter, we also outline the main theoretical concepts of the book, and the conceptual, empirical and methodological contributions of each chapter.

- This chapter reconnects to the book’s theoretical starting point: experience-based and transformational learning. We then synthesize the results from the chapters under four themes: from passive to active, from analogue to digital, from generic to target group-adapted, and from fragmented to inclusive. Under each theme, we discuss prospects and limitations and suggest research avenues. As several of the chapters highlight the need to develop how learning experiences are created and organized, we encourage future research to address issues that can inform research and practice about 1) the role of the tourists in creating learning experiences, 2) the impacts of the digital transition, 3) the adaptation of tourism offers to tourists’ prior knowledge and preferences, and 4) the role of collaboration.

Science tourism: a conceptual development
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Tourism, Knowledge and Learning Conceptual Development and Case Studies. Edited By: Eva Maria Jernsand, Maria Persson, Erik Lundberg. - London and New York : Routledge. - 9781003293316 ; , s. 26-39
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Science tourism is an activity where people travel to learn about science and gain scientific knowledge and in some cases to participate in scientific research. This chapter provides an expanded conceptualization of science tourism that includes the role of researchers and scientific institutions in co-creating experiences of science tourism. The conceptual model can be used as an analytical lens to understand suppliers’ degree of embeddedness in tourism and science, and how the suppliers, through their activities, make it possible for tourists to immerse themselves in science tourism activities. In addition, the model helps tourism practitioners to strategically position themselves in this growing market.

Collaborative PhDs: New approaches, challenges and opportunities

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Collaborative PhDs can be demanding and complex, yet ultimately rewarding. In this chapter we explore some of the issues that can emerge when collaborative PhDs investigate problems in sustainable urban development not only across disciplinary borders, or between academia and practice, but across diverse cultural backgrounds. Challenges include the need to take on multiple roles, and varying preconditions between PhD students from different academic institutions or cultures. We examine how such collaborations are opportunities for widening horizons and understandings, revealing how insights from researchers and practitioners from multiple disciplines and sectors make it possible to achieve a more holistic perspective. The chapter hopes to open up the nature of working in a truly transdisciplinary manner. There is a vital need for scholars to be able to participate in fora like Mistra Urban Futures’ Local Interaction Platforms (LIPs) where they can discuss and exchange experiences with others, both in and outside academia – whether civic officials, community groups or practitioners – who have embraced the concept of collaboration. Those who have contributed their experiences to this chapter are Sigrid Laurel Östlund, Franklin Mwango, Isabel Ordoñez, Frankline Otiende, Dan Silver, Anna Taylor and Joshua Wanga. The interviews were arranged by and the chapter put together by Helena Kraff and Eva Maria Jernsand, with additional editorial inputs from the contributors. The chapter is written as a conversation between four PhD students, one from each of the four LIPs. Interviewees’ names have been changed to anonymise responses.

Democracy in participatory place branding: a critical approach
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Inclusive place branding; critical perspectives on theory and practice. - Abingdon, Oxon; New York, NY : Routledge. - 9781315620350 ; , s. 11-22

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Consensus is considered a central construct of participatory place branding. Stakeholders are involved in a consultative manner, with the aim to sift out the essence of a place in the form of a coherent identity. However, in related fields, such as public governance, design, architecture and urban planning, consensus is acknowledged as highly problematic. The risk is that self-interested, powerful individuals marginalize weaker groups, and that complex matters are kept under the surface. This chapter challenges the democratic legitimacy of consensus in place branding, claiming that it stands in contrast to the multifaceted and changeable nature of places, to democracy as a space where a multitude of voices are heard, and to participation as a continuous, profound practice. It is the pluralistic nature of places that make them interesting, thus place branding should be understood as a relationship-builder for place development, where critical issues, internal divisions and multiplicity are addressed.

Destination development based on knowledge and learning: Initiating a UNESCO biosphere reserve in Bohuslän
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Tourism, Knowledge and Learning Conceptual Development and Case Studies. Edited By: Eva Maria Jernsand, Maria Persson, Erik Lundberg. - London and New York : Routledge. - 9781003293316 ; , s. 9-25
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter emphasizes the importance of collaboration in destination development. More specifically, the authors explore the potential of UNESCO biosphere reserves as platforms for sustainable destination development, using transdisciplinary co-production of knowledge as an approach. The chapter is based on a case study of the initial phases of creating a UNESCO biosphere reserve in Bohuslän, located on the Swedish west coast, in which the authors were involved. The results show that biosphere reserves can act as learning destinations and role models for sustainable development, facilitating conditions for learning, innovation and attractive destinations through transdisciplinary co-production of knowledge. It is thus argued that biosphere reserves can address aspects of democracy and inclusiveness, tear down narrow views of partnerships, competitiveness and networks, and introduce opportunities for transforming systems and behaviours in a destination and tourism context.

Kräftskivan i och utanför vänkretsen

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Berättelserna om kräftorna börjar på medeltiden. Bristen på svenska kräftor gjorde att vi senare fick en kräftpremiär som tradition, som bidragit till att kräftskivan knutits till sensommaren. Under årens lopp har de traditioner som finns kring insjökräftan spridit sig till Västsveriges havskräftor och dessa avnjuts därför också helst en augustikväll i månens sken. Många har beskrivit kräftskivan i ord, musik och bild, och minst lika viktiga som kräftorna är tillbehören, snapsvisorna och dekorationerna. I det här kapitlet ges en beskrivning av den svenska traditionen kring kräftan och kräftskivan, samt idéer hämtade från en kreativ workshop i Bohuslän kring hur kräftskivan utvecklats i kommersiella sammanhang. Kapitlet avslutas med en diskussion kring turism ur ett hållbarhetsperspektiv.

Learning through extraordinary tourism experiences
- 2020
-
Ingår i: The Routledge handbook of tourism experience management and marketing. Saurabh Kumar Dixit (red.). - Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge. - 9780429203916 ; , s. 173-182
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Extant research has demonstrated that learning is a core element underlying extraordinary experience since it enriches the experience and makes it more meaningful. Despite being a critical element in such experience, the literature provides few answers to how and in what situations tourists learn, in particular how extraordinary experience is related to learning. Hence, the purpose of this study is to understand how tourists learn through extraordinary experience. Learning theories emphasize a process where the learner’s beliefs are challenged and experiences are made sense of, which make them useful in relation to intellectually engaging and transformative extraordinary experiences. Two illustrative different cases, an oyster experience on the West Coast of Sweden and a guided tour in Kisumu, Kenya, are used to demonstrate how learning takes place for tourists engaged in extraordinary experience. The findings show that tourists involved in extraordinary experiences are more likely to learn by being in a stimulating environment where learning is enhanced through three mutually inclusive elements: (1) engagement, (2) critical moments and (3) reflection.

Student living labs as innovation arenas for sustainable tourism
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Critical Issues in Tourism Co-Creation. G.T. Phi & D. Dredge (Eds). - Abingdon and New York : Routledge. - 9781003165835
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper aims to explore sustainable tourism in relation to the concept of student living labs, defined as spaces for open innovation, co-creation and experimentation in real-life settings with students. Although these features are vital for the tourism industry, living labs are seldom discussed nor used in tourism research, education and practice. To illustrate living labs’ organisation, facilitation and impediments, the author uses an ethnographic description and analysis of five different experiences that have the characteristics of living labs. The findings show that tourism living labs offer students opportunities for hands-on engagement in the co-creation and testing of frontier solutions with private, public and civil society sector partners. They also enhance social inclusion, environmental responsibility and lifelong learning. For the tourism industry, labs can offer new knowledge; more, extended and deepened relationships; and opportunities to find an educated workforce. The challenges include project timeframes; documentation and information; equality among participants: the size of student groups; and the resources of the university. The article stresses the importance of recognising and handling the challenges that come with the introduction of living labs in a tourism context.
