<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; "><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; color: black; ">Travel is an ideal for many, with more and more members of affluent societies using travel to broaden their education while attempting to realize
their true potential in a place and a culture where the burdens of class, gender, sexuality, history, politics, religion and language can be renegotiated. Many questions can be raised about ‘the ideal’ of travel, such the imperative to prioritize ‘setting
out’ and movement, and possession of the traveling experience by means such as photography, or the blog entry.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; "><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; color: black; ">Mary Louise Pratt’s seminal work on travel narratives <i>Imperial Eyes: Travel Writing and Transculturation </i>(1992, 2007) provides a framework
for analyzing the “appropriating gaze” of colonial territoriality, but is also relevant to contemporary travel in developing regions, as well as various other contexts.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; "><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; color: black; ">We invite papers (and panels) that focus on either the trajectory or the destination or encompass both, and which will contribute to an overall
program that demonstrates the pluralism of ideals in travel writing, cultural tourism and mobility studies. We welcome proposals from various disciplines including anthropology, area studies, cinema studies, creative writing, cultural studies, geography, historical
studies, language and literature studies, media and communications, migration and mobility studies, philosophy, postcolonial studies, sociology, tourism, and travel writing and other relevant areas, as well as interdisciplinary approaches.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; "><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; color: black; ">Postgraduate students are most welcome to submit proposals for papers and panels in the program and there will be activities and sessions designed
to address specific research issues for postgraduate students during the conference.</span></p>
