I am a human geographer broadly interested in understanding the role popular geopolitical discourses play in contemporary forms of market-based environmentalism, humanitarianism and development interventions. My research examines the implications of these practices through the theoretical lenses of critical geopolitics, political ecology and cultural studies across four contexts: 1) tourism; 2) agro-food initiatives; 3) international development and humanitarianism; and 4) transboundary environmental governance. Through ethnographic research, I highlight connections between popular culture, tourism and socio-economic and environmental change and how these transformations mediate everyday geopolitical experience in the Asia-Pacific region. In this way, my work bridges cultural, political and economic geography by examining the theoretical and practical implications of consumer-driven movements as a response to global economic, ecological and social inequality.

Harng Luh Sin
Harng Luh Sin is an Associate Professor in the School of Tourism Management at Sun Yat-Sen University, China. Her research interests revolve around the mobilities of people – from tourism to migration, and the mobilities and fluidities of abstract ideas such as moral and social responsibilities, ethics, and care (at a distance) and how these translate through discursive platforms like social media and into real practices on the ground. Her published works have considered the ethical and responsible possibilities enacted in tourism, situated within the larger context of social initiatives like sustainable development, ethical consumerism, international volunteerism, and ‘first world responsibilities’ to the ‘third world’. She is a highly established scholar in the areas of volunteer tourism and responsible tourism, having authored some of the landmark pieces that shaped the field of volunteer tourism.
Her current research focuses on two interelated and critical phenomena in tourism today - the first looks at the growing importance of social media - what do we know about the underlying factors driving how we represent our travels/tourism on social media and why? The second looks at the emerging strength of the Asian tourist, especially Chinese outbound tourists, and how this is challenging fundamental tourism theories and management in the world. |

Jundan Jasmine Zhang
Jundan Jasmine Zhang has a PhD in Tourism from University of Otago, New Zealand. In her doctoral project she did longitudinal fieldwork in Shangri-La, Southwest China, understanding the relationships between tourism development and environmental discourses. In the past years she has worked as a postdoc in the Formas funded project “Mobilizing the Rural" on ecological entrepreneurship in rural areas of northern Sweden, and currently she is working on a multidisciplinary project “Future Forests” funded by Swedish Government on multi-use of Swedish forests. She has published in journals such as Annals of Tourism Research, Journal of Sustainable Tourism and Tourism Geographies, on subjects ranging from political ecology of tourism, to tourism methodologies. Her main research interest lies in understanding the relationships between human and 'nature' in the context of global tourism. A poststructuralist political ecology approach is generally adopted in her research, where binaries such as nature/culture, rural/urban, West/non-West and modern/traditional are critically examined and discussed.
