New Journal - Hospitality & Society

Hospitality & Society is a new international social sciences journal which looks at the industry’s connections with social and cultural processes and structures which will hopefully lead to the developing of new approaches to the study of hospitality

You can view the contents of the first issue here:

The editors are also keen for you to submit your own papers:

I’ve had a quick peruse of the contents of the 1st issue and it does look like it will be a very interesting new title..

As far as the book reviews are concerned, we have several copies of O’Gorman; I’m not sure if the ‘Extending Hospitality’ title is entirely relevant, but I think I’ll order a copy of ‘Kitchens’ by Gary Fine.. Please speak up if you’d like to see ‘Extending Hospitality’ in the library stock !

Hospitality Action Week

Maybe you're doing something that you could tell the College about?
