TESTIMONIALS



“Papoutsaki goes further than theory: she gives us the root and branch mechanisms for how to turn this into action...the 'tweezers and microscope'”  - J.C

Your course is really powerful and impressive, but what is more important for me is your passionate personality. You are a great example of what a real Teacher should be - open-minded, sincere, charismatic, experienced and warm-hearted. I have began to look at the world from another perspective. Thank you very much! -A.D. CSC 2017

FAVORITE QUOTE

 

"As long as societies distribute needs and power unequally between populations, it is unethical for communications and human service professionals to help solve minor and/or immediate problems while ignoring the systemic barriers created by societies that permit or perpetuate inequalities among citizens. Real change is not possible unless we deal with the crucial problem in human societies: lack of economic and social power among individuals at the grassroots"

- Melkote, 2000, p.46

CURRENT PROJECT

"Mapping the communicative ecology of small tourist island communities: a comparative ethnographic study of three Japanese islands" ---Japan Foundation Research Fellowship

This comparative ethnographic research aims at studying the communicative ecology of tourism in small island communities. The study focuses on case studies within the Setouchi, Ryukyus and Hokkaido Island groups. Each group of islands presents a distinct tourism emphasis: with the Setouchi group highlighting art, the Ryukyus showcasing natural heritage and market tourism and Hokkaido highlighting indigenous culture. 

Host institutions: Center for Advanced Toursim Studies, Hokkaido University and Kagoshima University Amami Research Station.
