Career Summary
Biography
Dr Tamara Young is an Associate Professor in the Newcastle Business School, College of Human and Social Futures. Her research is in the multidisciplinary field of tourism studies, with a particular emphasis on critical tourism theory and cultural research methodologies. Her research activities and interests are focused on the role of tourism media as an interface between traveller cultures and travelled cultures; the social and cultural aspects of travel and tourism (especially youth and backpacker tourism); the representation and interpretation of Aboriginal Australia in the context of tourism; and Indigenous tourism, cultural landscapes (in particular, the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park) and culturally sustainable tourism in Australia. Tamara also conducts research on the Indigenisation of curriculum in Business and Law education. She has co-authored a book entitled Tourist Cultures: Identity, Place and the Traveller (Wearing, Stevenson and Young, 2010), and her research has also been published in book chapters and international journals.
Tamara has gained funding for a number of projects in her areas of research leadership. She is the chief investigator on an industry-funded project on destination image and identity titled Newcastle City Council Visiting Friends and Relatives Study. She is the co-chief investigator on the Higher Education Participation and Partnerships Program (HEPPP) funded project Improving Indigenous Participation, Retention and Success in Business-Related Higher Education, and she is a member of the research team for another HEPPP funded project Mentoring Women from Regional Australia to realise their Educational and Career Aspirations in Business and Law. Each of these projects build on Dr Young's expertise as an industry engaged researcher committed to enhancing local and regional tourism capabilities, as well as her leadership as an educator in tourism and business.
Tamara is a multi-award winning academic. In 2016 she was awarded a Council of Australasian Universities Tourism and Hospitality Education (CAUTHE) Fellows Commendation for Significant Contribution to Tourism Education and Research. In 2015 she received a national Office for Learning and Teaching Citation for Outstanding Contribution to Student Learning.

Research Expertise
Tourist Cultures and Traveller Identities: I have conducted extensive qualitative research into youth travel in Australia, with my research focus on the interactions of young adults with travelled cultures, and the significance of these experiences for informal education and lifelong learning. My research examines the intersection between social media and travel experiences, focusing on the mediation of travel experiences, and the shaping of traveller identities and travel communities.This project forms the basis for continuing research into the role and significance of travel and travel communities in the lives of young people. Following my success in gaining government funding for short term mobility programs, my research in this area now also includes the role and significance of educational travel and the mediation of global citizenship.
Indigenous Cultural Tourism: My PhD in Social Science (Leisure and Tourism Studies) focused on representations of Aboriginal Australia in tourism media and backpacker experiences of Indigenous cultures and Indigenous cultural landscapes. My thesis examined the representation and interpretation of Aboriginal Australia in the context of tourism, and the relationships between travel media (guidebooks), travellers (backpackers) and travelled cultures (Aboriginal Australia). My thesis engaged textual and content analysis coupled with audience research to examine the ways in which traveller experiences of Aboriginal Australia are mediated and constructed, and the ways that Indigenous cultural knowledges are shaped, framed and experienced.
Indigenisation of Tourism Curriculum: My research engages with the Indigenous collaboration initiatives and objectives of the University of Newcastle. This project, in partnership with Dr Amy Maguire in the Newcastle Law School, focuses on the incorporation of Indigenous-related content and perspectives in Business and Law education, to promote curricular justice for Indigenous students and meet the wider responsibility of educating all students for equity, social justice and anti-racism. I was recently successful in securing a HEPPP grant for a project aimed at increasing Indigenous participation, retention and success in business related higher education.
Tourism Industry Collaboration: I am an industry-engaged researcher and have worked in collaboration with tourism associations in the Hunter Region to develop and conduct research that supports the knowledge needs of the regional tourism industry. These collaborations have led to a number of industry-funded projects including the Newcastle City Council Visiting Friends and Relatives Study, The Hunter Valley Wine Country Tourism Research Monitory and the Identifying the Training and Research Needs of Tourism Operators in the Hunter Region.
Teaching Expertise
I have substantial teaching experience having taught in a range of undergraduate courses in the areas of tourism and leisure studies, and media and cultural studies since 1999. I teach: LEIS1000 Leisure Behaviour and Organisation, TOUR2003 Global Tourism Management, TOUR2001 Tourism and Cultural Heritage, TOUR3003 Tourism Marketing, and TOUR4000 Theory in Tourism Other courses I have taught include: Event Management; Visitor Management; Critical Perspectives in Leisure; Leisure, Society and Contemporary Culture; Leisure Management; Media, Culture and Society; Popular Culture and Society.
I am a passionate educator committed to delivering research informed and industry relevant curriculum. I have received national recognition for outstanding teaching and learning in tourism, including the CAUTHE Fellows Commendation for Significant Contribution to Tourism Education and Research (2016), a national Office for Learning and Teaching Citation for Outstanding Contribution to Student Learning (2015), and a Vice-Chancellors Award for Teaching Excellence and Contribution to Student Learning (2014).

Coopetition is a process reflective of the coexistence of cooperation with competition or conflict. This paper examines and theorises the emergence of coopetition by engaging actor-network theory to explore networking processes of collective actions for specific sustainability goals in two popular destinations in Vietnam. The research reveals that the convergence of stakeholders in collective actions influences the dynamics of their relationships. These dynamics manifested in three ways in each destination, which informed two streams of coopetition across the two destinations: the intervention of cooperation in existing competition and the intervention of conflict in existing cooperation. As a result, four types of intra- or inter-network coopetition emerged as a consequence of networking processes for sustainability at these destinations. This research has theoretical implications concerning the relationships between networking and coopetition and practical implications for destination management, involving the advantage of using a coopetition strategy to mobilise actions of diverse stakeholders in achieving sustainable tourism.

[more] The effects of destination resource evaluation and place identity, conceptualised as a dynamic process, on destination ambassadorship, expressed in intention to invite friends, relatives and acquaintances, from the resident perspective were examined in this study. The heterogeneity of residents, defined by length of residence, and its moderating effects on the aforementioned relationships were also investigated. Analyses of data from 545 respondents living in the post-industrial city of Newcastle, Australia revealed a partial mediation of place identity process on how resource evaluation affected resident intention to invite friends, relatives and acquaintances to their home city, which varied between residents with different lengths of residence in the city. These findings offer insights into the dynamic process of place identity and related effects on resident destination ambassadorship, as well as destination planning and management in the context of VFR (Visiting Friends and Relatives) tourism.

[more] This paper examines the opportunities for Indigenous communities to share cultural knowledge in tourism by increasing the use of digital knowledge-sharing with various technological platforms. The research was conducted with residents of Pine Creek in the Northern Territory (Australia). In-depth semi-structured interviews were held with representatives from both the Wagiman Aboriginal community and non-Aboriginal residents. The findings reveal that by combining both traditional and modern means of sharing knowledges, digital tourism products can empower local Indigenous communities involved in tourism and educate locals and tourists to conserve such knowledges for the long term. However, digital products of local culture can only be sustainable if all stakeholders involved in the tourism product development have an understanding of how to use the platform and have access to knowledge. This paper examines the skill-sets for technological application of knowledge among the Wagiman and non-Aboriginal residents of Pine Creek.

SMTEs in a regional tourism destination were surveyed, and an exploratory factor analysis identified barriers to, and benefits of, professional development factors. Logistic regression analysis was used to predict SMTE owner¿manager¿s intention to pursue professional development based on perceived benefits of and barriers to training factors, education level and business size. ¿Staff performance benefits¿ and ¿time/cost barriers¿ of owner¿manager¿s intention to seek professional development opportunities for staff. ¿Business performance benefits¿ predicted owner¿manager¿s intentions to seek professional develop for themselves. Implications of the findings are discussed.
