My research focuses on social, cultural, economic and political change in Southeast Asia and in particular examines the changing state-society relations taking place in transitional countries as they move toward a socialist-market economy. Within this work, international tourism has been used as a lens to investigate state and societal responses to globalisation and transition and more recently as a tool for poverty alleviation and development. These research interests fit directly into two of the centres research concentrations of “The Postcolonial World and Globalisation’ and ‘Inclusion and exclusion in urban and regional spaces’. My current research project (with Dr. Suchet-Pearson) brings development and postcolonial studies together to identify lessons for indigenous community-based tourism in northern Australia from responses to the terror of the 2002 bombings in Bali and responses of sympathy to the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami on Phuket. The project promotes collaborative efforts across borders, providing a foundation for stakeholders to formulate sustainable strategies combating vulnerability.
