Kathleen Adams 

Recently published two books. The Intersections of Tourism, Migration, and Exile (Routledge, 2023), was coedited with Natalia Bloch (https://www.routledge.com/Intersections-of-Tourism-Migration-and-Exile/Bloch-Adams/p/book/9781032022802). The book’s findings were presented at the University of California, Berkeley’s Tourism Studies Working Group Seminar in February, and it was formally launched at the 2023 Critical Tourism Studies Asia-Pacific conference in Hanoi. An Indonesian translation of Adams’ book Art as Politics: Re-crafting, Tourism and Power in Tana Toraja, Indonesia was published in 2022 (Ininnawa Press, Makassar) (http://penerbitininnawa.id/store/item/seni-sebagai-politik-memahat-ulang-identitas-dan-kuasa-lewat-pariwisata-di-tana-toraja ). Adams thanks Loyola University Chicago for subsiding the book’s color photographs. Via zoom, Adams is currently a Professorial Research Associate in Anthropology/Sociology at SOAS, University of London, and just completed two years as a Visiting Fellow at Wakayama University’s Center for Tourism Research. Recently, Adams learned that the American Anthropological Association’s tourism studies group named a new prize for her. The “Kathleen M. Adams Student Paper Prize in the Anthropology of Tourism” will be launched in November. The Tourism Geographies Podcast also interviewed Adams on her article “What Western Tourism Concepts Obscure” (https://play.acast.com/s/63264f1da8cfed00121ad122/63977d49b89a2a00107939e5?utm_source=listen+later&utm_medium=email ).  She has also delivered guest lectures at universities and, in April, lectured on “Toraja Art, Ritual and Society” at the San Francisco Indonesian Consulate.
