“…This article draws on unstructured interview data gathered through a participatory study conducted with migrant women employed in tourism (Rydzik et al, 2013). While the study involved other qualitative methods, such as focus groups and arts-based methods, this article draws exclusively on interview data that rely on retrospective accounts rather than an ethnographic approach, which was not possible due to the difficulty of accessing tourism workplaces.…”

This article examines migrant women tourism workers’ understandings of, and diverse responses to, exploitative working conditions by taking account of the constraints posed by oppressive contexts and ideologies. It analyses how their location at the intersection of multiple axes of disadvantage and discrimination on account of gender, ethno-nationality, immigration status and migration history as well as their low-status employment and educational level, shapes both their understandings of particular experiences of exploitation and possible responses to these, and examines the effects of their practices upon the power structures at work. Based on the experiences of eleven women from Central and Eastern European countries working in the UK tourism industry, this article theorises workers’ responses to hyperexploitative employment relations by utilising a differentiated conceptualisation of agency as practices of resilience, reworking and resistance. In doing so, it rejects binary categories of victimhood and agency, as well as romanticised accounts of unmitigated resistance.

“…A recent example using arts in tourism research is the work by Rydzik, Pritchard, Morgan, and Sedgley (2013) who explore the journeys and experiences of a group of female migrant tourism workers. This arts based participatory method resulted in migrant trajectories, mobilities, identities and employment experiences being represented in paintings, photography, glass fusion, poetry, and other forms of artistic expression.…”

a b s t r a c tThis conceptual study addresses the significant need for every mature field of knowledge to understand itself. It builds upon previous studies of the epistemology and ontology of tourism by critiquing, synthesising, discarding, re-ordering and adding material. Its contribution is an original reconceptualisation of the structure, systems, processes and outcomes that define the field of tourism. These are explained by the creation of a model and detailed analysis that examines knowledge space, the knowledge force-field, knowledge networks, four key domains in knowledge creation and their interrelationships. Finally the model is used to examine some of the key challenges and consequences that the knowledge system reveals for tourism and its research.

“…Also, the holders and people in general to participate in the decision-making and, thus, increase the social acceptance and implementation of decisions. Above all, participatory approaches enable researchers to become socially involved through research and action (Rydzik et al, 2013). This is a slow and long-term process in which the results, in terms of the participatory involvement of stakeholders and the operational effects of an active public participation policy, are not immediate.…”

“…The adoption of interactive exercises on the workshop with a logical sequence of questions or exercises in regarding its objectives avoided possible misunderstandings and allowed defining common goals. This situation promoted a meaningful dialogue among the participants, allowing them to promote change and to gain a shared understanding of forest management and its policies, and corroborated research on other different issues (Vallely et al, 2007;Rydzik et al, 2013).…”

Aim of study: This paper aims to test a participatory methodology to draw parallels and paradoxes as to how some forest sectorrelated entities and local communities view the Montemuro Mountain forest, namely in terms of its characteristics, the offered opportunities, its problems and the likely solutions for its management as well as the role played by stakeholders, which can be replicated in other case studies and can also facilitate the forest policy making process.Area of study: The Natura 2000 Network "Montemuro Mountain" Site in Portugal. Material and methods:This study combined several consultation and citizen participation techniques.Main results: The perceptions shared by the stakeholders are some similar, others not similar and others still quite paradoxical regarding forest characteristics and the opportunities they offer. The study has shown that it is possible to implement and improve citizen participation methodologies. This can be a viable way towards more effective forest management and fire prevention as this may help blunt conflicts of interest in forest space management. However, for participation to be truly effective and representative, a policy regarding training and awareness of the importance of information is necessary.Research highlights: The stakeholder perceptions on forests and forest management are assessed; forest fires and agrarian abandonment are central for territory's development; depopulation, old age and absenteeism emphasize degradation of forest areas; Conscious citizen participation benefit policymaking and forest management.
