Willing to speak to media
I am an interdisciplinary scholar who is interested in how people and places are represented in cultural and heritage tourism, gender intersectionality (specifically Black feminist approaches), postcolonialism and decolonisation, and critical and innovative approaches to research. I joined Northumbria University in September 2022 and prior to this I was at the University of Sunderland where I established a cross faculty Interdisciplinary Research Network on Race, Class and Ethnicity (RaCE).
I was also employed at the Universities of Surrey and Edinburgh Napier. I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and prior to entering academia, I spent five years in the Ministry responsible for tourism in Jamaica. I hold Masters degrees in International Relations (University of the West Indies) and Tourism Management (University of Surrey) and a PhD in Tourism Studies (Brunel University). I am an Associate Editor for Annals of Tourism Research, and served as a Managing Editor for Leisure Studies. I was also an external member of the Central University Research Ethics Committee of the University of Oxford between 2013-2021. I have published numerous journal articles, books, book chapters and presented at many national and international conferences several as a keynote speaker. I am a passionate advocate for equity, justice, anti-racism and anti-discrimination within the university community and the wider society.
