Senior Lecturer in Tourism, Hospitality and Events
PhD, MRes, MES, BSc (Hons)
Jan joined Faculty in 2009 after working as a Lecturer in Tourism at the University of Otago in New Zealand. Jan is primarily concerned with analysing the constitution of the economy as multiple forms of economic practices across space. This involves research on the capitalist structures of the economy as well as non-capitalist forms of economic exchanges. In this work he draws on a diverse set of theoretical foundations, such as political economy, post-structuralism and post-colonialism, integrating them to an alternative political economy. Previous and current work on tourism commodity chains offers a perspective on the capitalist structures surrounding tourism development and the upgrading opportunities for developing nations or firms situated in these.
