CFP: JUPTRR Dark Tourism Issue

The Journal of Unconventional Parks, Tourism & Recreation Research (JUPTRR)

CALL FOR PAPERS – The DARK TOURISM Issue

JUPTRR is soliciting manuscripts on dark tourism, the act of travel and visitation to sites, attractions, and exhibitions, which has real or re-created death, suffering or the seemingly macabre as a main theme (Stone, 2005). Examples of dark tourism locations include cemeteries, battlefields, prisons, hospitals, memorials, disaster sites, and haunted places.

For a broader discussion of dark tourism principles and practices, please visit The Dark Tourism Forum at http://www.dark-tourism.org.uk/

Submission deadline for the dark tourism issue is February 15th. Applied researchers, first-time authors, practitioners, graduate students, and researchers with a sense of exploration are encouraged to participate.

Articles submitted to JUPTRR should not be under review by any other journal or previously published. Published articles will be archived and may be used and shared in accordance with fair-use provisions of U.S. copyright law.
• Email articles to juptrr@radford.edu in Word or rich text format.
• Include a cover page with a manuscript title and complete list of authors.
• Provide contact information for primary author (i.e., institution, mailing address, email, and telephone). Author names should not appear elsewhere in the manuscript to assist in blind review.
