Abstract

This presentation will focus on the role of intellectual activism as a driver and outcome of critical research in the area of hospitality employment. A criticism of much academic research in tourism and hospitality is that our impact is limited and our goals, in terms of output, are framed in terms of high-quality journal papers. Hospitality employment is a domain where our collective endeavours, as academic researchers, has been singularly unsuccessful in real impact terms. This conference presentation will explore the experience of an international group of critical scholars, sharing a common interest in hospitality employment, in engaging with intellectual activism to translate academic research into vehicles for stakeholder advocacy.
