Carina Ren is Associate Professor at the Department of Culture and Global Studies at Aalborg University. She is interested in how tourism interferes with other fields of the social through cultural innovation and explores new ways in which tourism is developed, organised and valued. Her research often takes place in research collaborations with tourism organisations and industry, citizens and students.

His recent research has been on destination dynamics and place making with a focus on the entanglement of nature and culture. This has involved studies on entrepreneurship, innovation and policy making.
