Glenn Hooper is a Lecturer in Tourism and Heritage at Glasgow Caledonian University, and has held academic appointments at St. Mary's University College Belfast, the University of Aberdeen and the Open University. He has published widely in travel and tourism, and is the co-founder of the international 'Borders & Crossings' Conference Series. His publications include Land and Landscape, 1770-2000, Irish and Postcolonial Writing (with Colin Graham) and Travel Writing and Ireland, 1760-1860.
This volume provides a comprehensive exploration of the subject from the point of view of both practice - how Dark Tourism is performed, what practical and physical considerations exist on site - and interpretation - how Dark Tourism is understood, including issues pertaining to ethics, community involvement and motivation.
