Series: Aspects of Tourism

The first book to address how teachers can build more inclusive, reflexive and socially just approaches to tourism education.

This book aims to disrupt the dominance of Western ways of being, thinking and knowing and blends critical theory with practical strategies, focusing on who teaches tourism, what knowledge is prioritised and how students can co-create learning.

Drawing on global case studies and innovative pedagogies, the book demonstrates how to amplify Indigenous and marginalised voices, diversify knowledge systems and reimagine assessment and practice in tourism education.

The volume launches a challenge to pervasive Eurocentric educational models and advances decolonisation pedagogies which dismantle the processes and practices inherited from colonialism that have shaped the study of tourism and offers a different pedagogic paradigm. It brings together pedagogy, curriculum, assessment and disciplinary dimensions of tourism into a coherent volume that provides a consistent narrative while showcasing diverse perspectives, making it both academically rigorous and an invaluable tool for educators, students and institutions worldwide.

Reviews for Decolonising Tourism Education

This is a book for these times – a tour de force! Sally Everett digs deep to interrogate the possibilities of decolonising tourism education, advocating 'Tourism studies should play a leading role in broader education and the decolonising project, given that its primary object of study is the interaction of peoples and places'. I couldn’t agree more and highly recommend this simultaneously thoughtful and practical volume. * Freya Higgins-Desbiolles, University of South Australia * Lucidly written and cogently argued, this book explains that to meaningfully interrogate sources and structures of colonial power imbalances in tourism and its pedagogy, we need to reimagine how tourism is taught and learned through enlightened engagement with the geopolitics of knowledge production. Everett informs us of why it is important to decolonise the tourism curriculum and shows us how to do it in key domains. This is a ‘must-read’ book for all tourism educators. * Scott McCabe, University of Birmingham, UK * A long awaited, critical, deeply reflective, and practical treatise on decolonisation in tourism education. This book is vital for earnest seekers of generative discussions about the why, what, where, who and how of decolonisation. A truly triumphant and unapologetic contribution to the voices for social justice in tourism higher education! * Donna Chambers, Northumbria University, UK *
