I was born and raised in southern Ontario, and went to York and Dalhousie universities. Somehow in that process I became fascinated with Africa as a place where the contradictions between human potential and persistent underdevelopment, and between Western imperialism and people카지노 게임 컬렉션s human rights aspirations, are so intense. This drew me first to the anti-apartheid movement, and then to go to Zimbabwe as a volunteer high school teacher shortly after its independence. That experience of 카지노 게임 컬렉션building socialism카지노 게임 컬렉션 (as they called it then) made me want to do doctoral research to understand it. It has been a fantastic journey ever since, working with colleagues, activists, journalists and friends all around the continent, although these days mostly in South Africa. I would love to work with students seeking to bring a historical perspective on any of the burning issues of the day.

I welcome graduate students to take my new course with Global Development Studies, offered in Fall 2021:
DEVS 492/870: Tourism in Transition
In 2019 tourism accounted for 10-11% of employment globally. For some countries, its promotion was the principal development strategy, with noteworthy successes achieved over the past few decades. Compelling critiques of tourism카지노 게임 컬렉션s environmental, cultural, unequal economic and other harmful impacts, as well as rapid changes in technology and in tourist demography, were giving rise both to new harms (such as 카지노 게임 컬렉션overtourism,카지노 게임 컬렉션 카지노 게임 컬렉션Instagram effect카지노 게임 컬렉션 카지노 게임 컬렉션 next up, space tourism) and new strategies to mitigate them (including 카지노 게임 컬렉션community-based카지노 게임 컬렉션 and 카지노 게임 컬렉션eco-tourism카지노 게임 컬렉션). COVID-19 largely shut down the industry with devastating impacts in tourism-dependent economies. But it also sparked creative initiatives to re-think tourism as a sustainable, social justice-oriented development strategy. This course critically assesses the history and explores contemporary practices of tourism planning for a post-pandemic, climate crisis, 카지노 게임 컬렉션new normal카지노 게임 컬렉션 world.
