“…Researchers have used it to investigate outdoor leaders’ feeling of connectedness to nature places (Hutson, Montgomery, and Caneday 2010), stakeholder views of place meanings of natural environment (Hutson and Montgomery 2010), student and teacher’s opinions of tourism teaching (Stergiou, Airey, and Riley 2008), performer’s subjectivity in a tourism culture park (Hunter 2014), resident’s perception related to cultural identity and tourism (Hunter 2011, 2013), actors’ subjectivity on problems of event planning (Phi, Dredge, and Whitford 2014), creative tourism experiences (Tan, Luh, and Kung 2014), destination image (Fairweather and Swaffield 2001), and tourist–host interaction (Griffiths and Sharpley 2012; Wijngaarden 2016). A large number of Q studies investigate the perspectives of residents, community stakeholders, or industry professionals (Lee and Son 2015; Phi, Dredge, and Whitford 2014; Rilling and Jordan 2007), while only a few Q studies focus on the tourist’s perception (Correia, Kozak, and Reis 2014; Tan, Luh, and Kung 2014).…”

While researchers increasingly address place meaning and place attachment as the cornerstones for understanding human–place relations, the factors that make a tourism destination meaningful have received less attention. Using Q method, this study investigated the dynamic nature of place meanings from the tourist perspective, and developed a theoretical framework to explain the construction of destination meanings. Data analyses identified four subjective views toward the meanings of destination and four underlying continuums that illustrate how a complex process of co-construction reveals distinct patterns of destination meanings. This study makes theoretical as well as practical contributions to the literature.

“…of the associated parties therefore contrasts with the clear distinction between spouses that appears in our results. The same is also true on the broader subject of co-leadership since, in this area too, the literature insists above all on the need for a very egalitarian positioning of the partners, particularly to reduce conflicts (Heenan & Bennis, 1999;Nosko, 2003;Rilling & Jordan, 2007) and never refers to the vocabulary of 'leader' or 'follower'.…”

By mobilizing the theoretical field of decision-making and the empirical study of 15 cases, this article highlights and analyzes the recurrence of conjugal interactions leading to the decision to undertake as a couple. The results show that the spouse who initiates the project becomes the ‘leader’, while the other positions himself, more or less voluntarily, as a ‘follower’. This decision-making configuration induces a renunciation on the part of the follower, a follower who remains, still today, overwhelmingly the woman. The discussion considers the potential impact of this specific decision-making process on the future governance of the company, in terms of the distribution of roles and powers, the satisfaction of spouses, but also the choice of partner. The movement of the reflexive cursor in a period prior to the copreneurial installation enriches the field of research, almost unexplored, of the decision to undertake as a couple, opens the way to the study of problems of copreneurship through the innovative prism of events that have occurred before its implementation and offers practitioners new keys to understanding the complex dynamics within which they evolve.

“…When tackling the rather nebulous concept of co-instruction, research in adventure education has largely looked to the human service and education fields for theories and models (Millette & Potter, 2001;Rilling & Jordan, 2007) despite the tensions that arise from a review of that literature. Moreover, one notices a conspicuous deficit in the voices of those who practice co-leadership as part of their routine work environment within the academic treatment; in other words, by default, and absent other alternatives (or even careful attention to the topic), the perspective that has been privileged in the co-leadership literature is that of program administrators and textbook writers.…”

“…Although the American adventure education field has paired co-instructors to run multiday wilderness courses as the default arrangement almost since its inception, theory, research, and subsequent training have focused predominantly on individual-leader paradigms (Priest, 1987). Research into the phenomenon of co-instruction, and the voices of co-instructors themselves, has been largely absent in the adventure education literature (Rilling & Jordan, 2007). Moreover, a review of relevant literature on co-leadership from the human services and traditional education fields reveals little clear consensus regarding the nature of the co-leadership experience.…”

The Experience of Co-Instructing on Extended Wilderness Trips

Adventure education organizations use co-instruction as the dominant mode of staffing programs, largely for issues related to risk mitigation. Despite, or perhaps because of, the everyday nature of this common staffing arrangement, little attention has been paid to it. Moreover, a review of relevant literature on co-leadership from the human services, traditional education, and adventure education fields revealed little clear consensus regarding the nature of the co-instruction experience. This phenomenological study inquired into the experience of co-instructors through in-depth qualitative interviews, which were transcribed and inductively analyzed for emergent themes. Coinstructing, at its essence, emerged as a negotiated relationship between co-instructors that shaped their professional, social, and personal success while in the field. In this thesis, I elaborate the central themes ?? living work, the dilemma ofthe super-instructor, and sizing up, and I discuss the meaning of co-instruction in people's lives. I conclude by sharing several practical implications resulting from the study, including new ways of approaching staff training in adventure education. Future research might fruitfully examine the meaning of itinerant work in young people's lives, especially in intense environments such as wilderness co-instruction. ? CHAPTER 1
