SACRED MOBILITIES
Current Developments in the Geographies of Leisure and Tourism
Series Editors:
Jan Mosedale, University of Applied Sciences HTW Chur, Switzerland and Caroline Scarles, University of Surrey, UK in association with the Geographies of Leisure and Tourism Research Group of the Royal Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers).
Tourism and leisure exist within an inherently dynamic, fluid and complex world and are therefore inherently interdisciplinary. Recognising the role of tourism and leisure in advancing debates within the social sciences, this book series is open to contributions from cognate social science disciplines that inform geographical thought about tourism and leisure. Produced in association with the Geographies of Leisure and Tourism Research Group of the Royal Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers), this series highlights and promotes cutting-edge developments and research in this field. Contributions are of a high international standard and provide theoretically-informed empirical content to facilitate the development of new research agendas in the field of tourism and leisure research. In general, the series seeks to promote academic contributions that advance contemporary debates that challenge and stimulate further discussion and research both within the fields of tourism and leisure and the wider realms of the social sciences.

Simon Arlidge is Programme Manager for the BA in Geography at the University of the West of England. Simons teaching interests centre on managing rural landscapes for conservation and people, Australian rural studies and, more recently, renewable energies within societies. His latest research is on urban decline in outback Australia.
Katy Beinart trained as an architect at the Bartlett, UCL and Oxford Brookes, going on to develop an artistic practice that engages with the public realm. Her practice includes installations, performance and participatory works, which explores links between material culture, migration and memory, and place. She is currently working on a practice-based PhD at the Bartlett, University College London, and is a Senior Lecturer in Architecture at the University of Brighton. Her current interests are the politics and poetics of regeneration and place-making in the city, with a particular focus on migration, heritage and memorialisation.
Beln M Castro Fernndez holds a degree in art history (1997), a Masters in pathology and architectural restoration (1998), a PhD in art history (2007), and a degree in journalism (2011). She is an associate professor at the Cesuga School of Architecture, University College Dublin (A Corua, Spain). Her cultural heritage research and writing focuses on conservation, tourism and urbanism. She is especially interested in the Way of St. James and in the monumental twentieth-century restorations of it carried out in Spain and Portugal. Recent publications include journal articles and chapters on heritage, urban and cultural tourism, pilgrimage, benchmarking of tourism products, and the process of heritage-making in geographical space.
David Crouch is Professor of Cultural Geography in the Humanities Department at Derby, a senior member of its Identity, Conflict and Representation Research Centre, and an associate in cultural geography, Nottingham University. His cultural geographic research and writing includes matters of leisure, tourism, landscape and nature. His most recent publications include Flirting with Space: Journeys and Creativity (Ashgate, 2010), and several chapters on heritage, affect and feeling, cultural tourism, landscape studies, and artistic expressions of space and ecology. His edited books include Leisure/Tourism Practices (Routledge, 1999), Visual Culture and Tourism (Berg, 2005) and The Media and the Tourist Imagination (Routledge, 2005).
