Abstract

Within modern societal constructs where male scholars still dominate academic and research environment at many levels of professional and senior research leadership roles, this book is a well-timed addition on gender and research to Channel View Publications portfolio. The book edited by two inspirational female academics aims to present lived experiences of female researchers during the data collection phase in the field of tourism studies. “The Femininities in the Field” are portrayed through self-reflective case studies. These case studies use first-person narratives that illustrate and analyse the role of gender, portray encountered gender biases and experiences of researchers at different stages of authors’ lives and research journeys.
