Meet the instructor
Dr. Maria Hadjielia Drotarova, PhD
My research interests focus on topics at the nexus of
tourism management and education, while I am also researching phenomena linked
to new technologies in tourism such as P2P digital platforms. There is much to
gain from combining tourism and education, especially in specialized forms of
tourism such as dark tourism and thanatourism, which can offer possibilities
for re-education on the importance of places of death and disaster. The field
of education is a broad field, which can provide new theories and perspectives
to the study of tourism and its specialized forms.
My contributions to literature include, amongst other, theoretical understandings on educational experience and its social dimensions, the conceptualization of the nexus between thanatourism and emotions, and dynamics and processes associated with the functioning of short-term rental (STR) platforms in tourism (e.g. types of hosts, professionalisation and quality standards, etc.).
This course will be delivered together with my assistant Chryso Panayidou, (PhD Cand).
