Degrees of change: Activating philosophic practitioners

John Tribe and Brendan Paddison

Annals of Tourism Research, 2021, vol. 91, issue C

Abstract: Tribe's (2002a) concept of the Philosophic Practitioner signalled an important new direction for the tourism higher education curriculum. Yet it left crucial unfinished business since it lacked a detailed programme for promoting liberal activism. This article deploys a critical conceptual method to address this gap. Its original contribution is a rigorous analysis of the theory and practice of activating the Philosophic Practitioner. The three theoretical components of this are the making, rethinking and envisioning of the tourism world. Its practical contribution is a new pedagogy to activate philosophic practitioners for remaking the tourism world. The findings are highly significant for the education of a new wave of world changing tourism graduates.
