About Dr Julia Giddy

鈥婳riginally from New York, Dr Julia Giddy pursued an Undergraduate degree at the 欧美福利100000 of Michigan, with majors in Geological Sciences and Modern European history. After graduating in 2010, she moved to Port Elizabeth, South Africa, where she worked as an education intern at the Bayworld Museum. 听Dr Giddy then decided to continue her studies at Nelson Mandela Metropolitan 欧美福利100000, obtaining a B.Sc. Honours degree in Geographic Information Systems in 2012, and a M.Sc. in Environmental Geography in 2014. Her M.Sc. thesis, entitled Human-Environment Interaction in Nature-based Adventure Tourism: The Case of the Tsitsikamma, was well-received, winning both local and international awards, and she therefore continued with this theme in her PhD, graduating in April 2016. She recently completed a two-year Post-Doctoral Research fellowship at the 欧美福利100000 of Johannesburg in the Department of Geography. Although much of her research focuses on adventure tourism and environmental influences on Tourism, she has a wide range of research interests, the impact of weather on Tourism, the Tourism-poverty nexus, perceptions of conversation in the new South Africa and Sustainable Human Resource Management. Dr Giddy’s current projects include Sustainable Human Resource Management in Adventure Tourism, The Influence of Psychological States on Tourism Experiences, The Tourism-Poverty Nexus and The Impact of Extreme Weather on Specific Tourism Subsectors. She has produced a number of publications and presented her works at several local and International conferences. Journal Articles Giddy, J.K.
