“…Recent work on the tourism and gender interface focuses on gender and sexualities in tourism (Pritchard, 2007) or gender issues in the tourism academy (Chambers et al, 2017). Women in the tourism academy have gathered their voices using new technologies such as creative commons to co-author a report on the "gender gap" in the academy (Munar & Waiting for the Dawn, 2015) and to create social media networks such as "Women Academics in Tourism" on Facebook.…”

Research in the area of sustainable tourism continues to grow, however a lack of understanding regarding necessary action inhibits progress. McCloskey's (2015) critique regarding the failure of the MDGs, as a direct result of a lack of critical consciousness, and understanding of the structural contexts of poverty and under-development, provided the impetus for our work. McCloskey (2015) signals the important role of education in fostering transitions to sustainability. As such, we have applied our critical lens to the 2030 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Our paper offers tools for critically thinking through the potential for the SDGs to help shape the tourism industry for more sustainable, equitable, and just futures. We positioned six themes to serve as a conceptual framework for interrogating the SDG agenda in tourism; arising from our considerations of both reformist and radical pathways to sustainable transitions in tourism: critical tourism scholarship, gender in the sustainable development agenda, engaging with Indigenous perspectives and other paradigms, degrowth and the circular economy, governance and planning, and ethical consumption. We address these core themes as essential platforms to critique the SDGs in the context of sustainable tourism development, and highlight the cutting edge research carried out by our contributors in this special issue.

“…It aims to contribute to the tourism scholarship and gender, to the on-going debates postulating to increase gender diversity in the tourism academic landscape (i.e. Chambers et al, 2017;Munar et al, 2017;Pritchard & Morgan, 2017). It further employs the notion of intersectionalities, rarely used in tourism studies (i.e.…”

“…Tourism academia also contributes to this debate by proving hard evidence on the poor representation of women in leadership positions that shape the tourism academic landscape, postulating to increase gender diversity (i.e. Chambers et al, 2017;Munar et al, 2017;Pritchard, 2018). The growth in the number of statistical reports (i.e.…”

“…Table 1 here Despite extensive diversity actions, derived from the leaky pipeline concept (Chambers et al, 2017;Pritchard and Morgan, 2017), initially promising expectations regarding improvements in representation of women in senior academic positions did not materialise. Indeed, the leaky pipeline approach seems rather simplistic, as it assumes that, since women are less likely to remain in academia than men, more women should be supported so that they are able to secure the highest rank academic jobs eventually.…”

Purpose This paper aims to represent a unique and original piece of research on full professors in global hospitality and tourism academia. Aimed at revisiting academic leadership, this study identifies its components and gains insight into the so far understudied dimensions of diversity in academic contexts worldwide. Design/methodology/approach This study examines the careers of senior researchers (R3 and R4, according to European Commission) in hospitality and tourism, with special attention given to diversity. Based on quantitative methodology and a standardised online search, it uses individual-level data to give insights into dimensions of academic leadership. Full professors from the UK, the USA, German-speaking countries (Germany, Austria and Switzerland) and the Asia-Pacific region (Australia, New Zealand, China, Malaysia, Singapore and South Korea) build the sample. Findings Academic leadership in hospitality and tourism academia is not yet fully tied to cooperation with industry, as predicted by the “Triple Helix” model. Currently, the majority of the intellectual component constitutes academic leadership, outweighing administrative and innovative angles. Gender, age and ethnic diversity are underrepresented. While some regions can be considered sealed to ethnic diversity, others are more open and attract international scholars. Originality/value Rooted in interdisciplinary explanations, this study is the first of its kind to consider various diversity dimensions of academic leadership from a global perspective. It not only enriches the notion of academic leadership but also provides several practical implications and suggestions for further research.
