He is also currently Docent in the Department of Geography, University of Oulu, Finland; Visiting Professor in the Baltic Business School, Kalmar University, Sweden; and Visiting Professor at the Sheffield Business School, Sheffield Hallam, UK. He is also a frequent visitor to the Department of Social and Economic Geography, Umeå University (from which he received an honorary doctorate in 2008) and the School of Service Management at Lund Helsingborg campus, both in Sweden. Prior positions in Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere include Professor in Tourism at the University of Otago, Professor of Tourism and Service Management at Victoria University of Wellington, and Honorary Professor in the Department of Marketing, Stirling University, Scotland. His doctorate is in geography from the University of Western Australia, from which he also received an honours degree in politics. His masters is from the faculty of environmental studies at the University of Waterloo, Canada, in geography/resource management.
Michael has longstanding teaching, publication and research interests in tourism and temporary mobility, regional development, environmental history, and sustainability with current research dealing with such issues as place branding and marketing, power and policy making in tourism, steady-state and ecological economic perspectives on destinations and places, servicescapes, economic geography and tourism mobility, conservation and environmental and climate change, event impacts, international studies, and the use of tourism as an economic development and conservation mechanism. More recently he has been undertaking research on wine and food marketing and gastronomy, which has required strenuous research in the field, this is particularly focused on development of local economies, network relationships and social capital, food miles, biosecurity, and farmers markets. He is the author or editor of over 50 books as well as author of over 350 journal articles and book chapters and is active in a number of international research associations such as ATLAS and IGU Tourism Commission.
For those interested I am attaching details of all books and journal articles since 2004 and will also gradually include some of the details of older books and articles that may be of interest as well as some of what I regard as the more relevant book chapters since 2004.
O and by the way in case your still reading this when you were looking for Michael C. Hall. I was not in 'Six Foot Under' although sometimes I do feel like 'Dexter' and putting some people that far underground. Ah yes, and I didn't marry my TV sister!
