In June 2007 I wrote a blog post titled “Why Don't We Blog? University Faculty Blog-ging about Travel & Tour-ism” (Lew 2007). So two years later I took a look back at that blog post, and to my surprise there were 36 comments! That was strange, because I do not remember receiving any notices to moderate that many com-ments on any of my blog posts. A quick scan showed that there were three legitimate com-ments, posted soon after I wrote the blog entry, and 33 spam comments. Yikes! – I had not turned on the comments mod-eration, nor even the word veri-fication, so any robo-computer could post a comment to not only this blog post, but to any other post on my Tourism Place blog.

So now I need to go through all my posts to find and delete the junk comments. Bummer!

I started blogging in 2005 and got quickly hooked on this form of self-publishing and self-expression. I have always fashioned myself as having strong non-hierarchical and egalitarian values, and even though I too play the academic publishing game, I really resent the haves (book writers) and have-nots (book users) that are created in that process. I also do not like the high cost of

poorly written textbooks and the sometimes political nature of the academic review process. And I loved the opportunities for self-expression that blog-ging enabled.

So blogging, which allowed me to write and publish online whatever I wanted, was an in-credibly liberating experience. I loved it and started several blogs, and a couple of related podcasts. But I did not see many other academics blog-ging, especially in the tourism and geography fields that I found of interest. So I sent a query to several tourism email lists and compiled the result in my “Why Don’t We Blog?” post.

By 2009, however, my own blogging has fallen off consid-erably – though I still do blog. I have heard that blogging growth, in general, has flat-tened out, though micro-blogging on Twitter and Face-book has taken off and contin-ues to grow. This has hap-pened to me, as well. I mostly moved from my long blog posts to micro-blogging on Twitter (which is then automatically forwarded to Facebook). 140 character messages are a lot less time-consuming to write than 140 to 1400 word blog posts. I guess have gotten lazy.

I stopped podcasting at the end

of last semester, though I hope to start up again soon (once I get over some technical diffi-culties). I still blog – occasion-ally – when I feel an urge to write more than 140 characters. Most of these either go on my “Tourism Place” blog (anything related to tourism) or my “Outside Looking In” blog (most anything else that I want to talk/rant about).

And, of course, I still have my academic articles and books, which I also enjoy writing – when I have time, which is not very often. So, perhaps what micro-blogging and blogging do for me is to allow the writ-ing fluids to have an outlet dur-ing the school year when I am mostly consumed by teaching, which is what I should be doing now … instead of deleting spam comments on two-year old blog posts!

Blogging: Two years Later

This is call for papers for a special issue for The International Journal of Tourism Anthropology (IJTA), a quarterly refereed journal from Inderscience, that focuses on cultural diversity, tourism and development. Cultural diversity is a driving force of development, not only in respect of economic growth, but also as a means of leading a more fulfilling tourism experience. However, while the pro-motion of cultural diversity has the potential to bring economic and social benefits, it can also signifi-cantly impact traditional culture, ways of life and the sense of identity of host communities. Identities and cultural products are reconstructed and challenged in the process of tourism development. This special issue encourages an engagement with ethnicity, identity and culture in the context of tourism policy, theory and practice. Submissions from various disciplines, including social anthropology, soci-ology, ethnics, human geography, history, economics, management science, politics, and tourism and leisure studies, as well as collaborative work by interdisciplinary research teams are sought. Authors may wish to incorporate critiques of methodological and epistemological debates that present alterna-tive accounts to dominant ideas. Both empirical and theoretical papers are welcome.

Topics appropriate for this special issue include, but are not limited to, the following subject areas:

• Theorising cultural diversity and tourism

• Ethnicity, identity and tourism

• Tourism and ethnic minorities / aboriginal people

• Tourism, cultural change and community development

• Cultural representation and authenticity

• Destination cultural and tourism policy

• Cultural tourism and attraction development

• Tourism, heritage and cultural preservation

Notes for Intending Authors: Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. All papers are refereed through a peer review process. A guide for authors, sample copies and other relevant information for submitting papers are available on the Author Guidelines page.You may send one copy in the form of an MS Word file at-tached to an e-mail (three files should be included together in the email, details in Author Guidelines) to the following:

The AAG Marble fund for Geographic Science is accept-ing applications for the 2010 Marble-Boyle Undergraduate Achievement Awards. The awards recognize excellence in academic performance by un-dergraduate students from the United States and Canada who are putting forth a strong effort to bridge geographic science and computer science as well as to encourage other students to embark upon similar programs. Each of the Marble-Boyle Un-

dergraduate Achievement Awards consists of a cash prize of $700, a $200 credit for books published by the ESRI Press, and a certificate of rec-ognition. Priority consideration is given to any of the awardees who may be interested in par-ticipating in ESRI's summer internship program. Marble- Boyle awardees will also be eligible to compete for an addi-tional research fellowship award that is being offered by the MicroGIS foundation for

Spatial Analysis (MfSA), which includes access to re-search facilities and all trans-portation and housing costs for up to four months of work in Lausanne, Switzerland. Infor-mation on eligibility, applica-tion guidelines, and prior awardees is available at www.aag.org/grantsawards/marble_boyle.htm. Digital sub-missions to [email protected] are due by October 15, 2009.

Call for Papers: RTS Student Paper Competition

AAG Marble-Boyle Undergraduate Achievement Awards in Geographic Science

The Recreation, Tourism, and Sport (RTS) Specialty Group of the AAG welcomes submissions for its Annual Student Paper Competition. Student-authored and presented papers at the AAG Annual Meet-ing that address topics germane to Recreation, Tourism, or Sport Geography are eligible for consid-eration. Entrants must be members of the AAG, and membership in the RTS Specialty Group is highly recommended. An letter of intent to enter the paper competition and an abstract of the paper to be entered should be sent to the RTS Chair by the AAG registration deadline (Wednesday, October 28, 2009). The final paper is due to the RTS Chair three weeks prior to the AAG meetings. $150 first-place prize, a $100 second-place prize, and a $50 third-place prize will be awarded if sufficient high-quality papers are received. Please encourage your students to submit papers to this competition and present at the 2010 AAG meetings. Of note, there are 245 total RTS members, of which there are 125 student members. Therefore, the RTS board expects to receive an unprecedented number of papers this year.


The purpose of this session is to examine the intersection of geography and sport. Current papers in this session related to the geography of baseball, but all sports-related topics are welcome. If you are interested in presenting a paper in this session please contact Dr. Jim Davis at [email protected].

Call for Papers: The Geography of Sport

Mimi Sheller and John Urry (2004: 1) wrote in their book Tourism Mobilities: “We refer to ‘tourism mobilities’, then, not simply to state the obvious (that tourism is a form of mobility), but to highlight that many different mobilities inform tourism, shape the places where tourism is performed, and drive the making and unmaking of tourist destinations. Mobilities of people and objects, airplanes and suit-cases, plants and animals, images and brands, data systems and satellites, all go into ‘doing’ tourism. … Tourism mobilities involve complex combinations of movement and stillness, realities and fanta-sies, play and work.” Research into tourism mobilities has, to date, primarily focused upon the impact of new technologies and modes of transport and related changing social and cultural practices as well as the creation of new ‘mobile’ places such as airports and internet cafés – with little regard for both alternative innovations and transgressions within mobilities/immobilities (Cresswell, 2006; Hannam et al., 2006).

This call for papers, then, for the 2010 AAG meetings in Washington, D.C., looks to examine some of the more neglected aspects of tourism mobilities, in order to understand creative and innovative as well as transgressive and abject mobile practices that are constitutive of contemporary tourism. How-ever, we are also seeking research that examines what happens when things break down in the very ‘doing’ of tourism and both the immobilities and new innovative or transgressive mobilities that may then ensue. Hence, we would like to suggest papers that engage theoretically with the new mobilities paradigm and which examine one or more of the following themes:

• Tourism, Creativity & Innovations in Mobilities/immobilities

• Tourism, Greed & Excess in Mobilities/immobilities

• Tourism, Inequalities & Abjection in Mobilities/immobilities

• Tourism, Risk & Health in Mobilities/immobilities.

• Tourism, Crime & Terrorism in Mobilities/immobilities

Please submit your abstract by October 16th 2009 to [email protected] or [email protected] or [email protected]

The purpose of this session is to examine tourism through the lens of cultural and social theory. Topics might include the role of semiotics, rhetoric, aesthetics, power-relations in the tourism equation. If you have an interest in participating in this session please submit your abstract by October 16th 2009 to [email protected].

Call for Papers: Exploring Innovations in Tourism Mobilities/Immobilities


This session is sponsored by Taylor and Francis Publishers and the Recreation, Tourism and Sport

Specialty Group of the AAG.

There is considerable potential for the use of new mobile technologies and social media within the context of leisure and tourism, yet little is known about how travelers actually incorporate these tech-nologies into their tourism practices. Research on tourism and technology has tended to focus on the implications of ICTs for the tourism industry, with less attention paid to the creative and often playful ways in which travelers use new mobile technologies and social media to organize their journeys, interact in tourist places, or share their experiences with friends and family. How are gadgets like iPhones and GPS devices, social networking platforms like Facebook and Twitter, and social media like travel blogs and video sharing sites shaping tourist experiences and the tourism landscape?

This session seeks to explore the kinds of mobile social relations and tourist geographies that emerge at the intersection between tourism and technology. The papers in this session will examine the way tourists, backpackers, and other leisure travelers are using mobile technologies, social media and so-cial networking applications to connect to people and to places while they are on the move. Keeping in mind the fact that ‘new technologies enhance the mobility of some people and places and heighten the immobility of others’ (Hannam 2008), this session will also consider how new technologies and digital media can both connect and disconnect; mobilize and immobilize tourists and tourist places. Papers that address the following possible themes are especially encouraged:

• Tourism and Mobile Phones

• Tourism, Twitter and Facebook

• Travel Blogging

• Tourism and Social Networking

• Tourism and Social Media

• Tourism and New Digital Media

• Digital Tourism Geographies

• Tourism and Locative Media

• Mobile Technologies and Tourist Spaces

• Connecting and Disconnecting on the Move

• Digital Divides in Tourism Landscapes

Please submit your abstract by October 16th 2009 to [email protected].

On August 15, 2009, one of our own longtime RTS members, Dr. Lloyd Hudman, passed away with his family by his side. He was a significant contributor to the development of RTS and to tourism re-search within the discipline of geography. He was a recipient of the prestigious Roy Wolfe Award and the Rooney Award from the RTS. Following his retirement from Brigham Young University, he kept busy serving his community, particularly those who, like himself, were suffering from cancer. Lloyd, a man of faith, integrity, compassion and intelligence, will be sorely missed by those who knew him best and by all who ever had the privilege of meeting him.
