Anthropology And Sociology In Tourism Doctoral ResearchDaniel Wachtel
This document summarizes a research article that examined tourism doctoral dissertations informed by anthropology and sociology from 1969 to 2013. It found that the number of such dissertations grew exponentially during this period. The United States produced the most, led by the University of California. Identity theory was most commonly employed, with concepts like socio-cultural change, ethnicity, and culture also core. Qualitative and mixed methods research increased over time. The article calls for further examination of other discipline-informed tourism doctoral research to inform future scholarly inquiry.

1. Dr. Stuart Murray
Senior Lecturer in International Relations and Diplomacy (Bond University), Associate
Editor of Diplomacy and Foreign Policy (Brill), and Global Fellow of The Academy of Sport,
Edinburgh University.
Telephone: +61402488893 e-mail: smurray@bond.edu.au
Objective
An early-to-mid career researcher interested in ‘old’, traditional diplomacy as well as ‘new’,
innovative forms. I’m particularly keen to further the theory and practice of sports, public,
digital, secret and cultural diplomacies. I’m also interested in learning how to successfully
apply for grant funding, large and small.
ResearchInterests
The ongoing evolution of traditional diplomacy (circa. 15th century to present). The
epistemology of diplomacy, positivist and post-positivist diplomatic theory and, similarly, the
‘theoria’ and ‘praxis’ of diplomacy in the post-modern information age. I’m interested in
enhancing the dialogue between serving and former diplomats and the academic community.
Education
Post-doctoral fellowship, Australian National University 2006 - 2007
PhD Bond University, Australia 2002 - 2006
Thesis: Reordering diplomatic theory for the twenty-first
Century; a tripartite approach.

Academic Employment History
Global Fellow, The Academy of Sport, Edinburgh University
August, 2015 – present
The Academy of Sport is a new think-tank which aims to better understand how sport, soft
power and diplomacy can contribute to the urgent questions of our time. I was asked to join
on account of the research I’ve published on sports diplomacy and the work I did consulting
with the Australian Government on their Sports Diplomacy Strategy, which was launched by
the Foreign and Sports Minsters in June, 2015.
Associate Editor, Diplomacy and Foreign Policy (Brill)
2. September 2015 – Present
Editorial responsibilities for this new journal are typical: suggesting topics, recruiting
potential authors and reviewing the occasional submission.
Assistant Professor of International Relations (Level A)
Bond University, Gold Coast, Australia. Sept 2012 – Present
Besides managing a growing research portfolio, I teach and co-ordinate the following courses:
Diplomacy: Theory and Practice (UG and PG), Introduction to International Relations (UG),
Terrorism (UG) and Politically Motivated Violence (PG). I also act as supervisor for one
PhD candidate and several internship and Masters students working on theses.
Assistant Professor of International Relations (Level B)
Bond University, Gold Coast, Australia. January 2007 – Sept 2012
Generally, as above.
Guest Editor, The Hague Journal of Diplomacy
The Netherlands. May 2012 – August 2013
I was hired to recruit for, manage and produce a double Special Issue: Sports Diplomacy for
the leading journal in the Diplomatic Studies field. This extensive, global project involved
scholars from Peking to Oxford Universities, and practitioners from current Ambassadors to
senior figures in major sporting organizations. The Special Issues were published in
December 2013.
Secretary of Diplomatic Studies Section at the International Studies Association (ISA)
March 2010 – January 2015.
Responsibilities included communicating with the Section’s members on a global scale,
recruiting new members, bidding for and organising panels at the annual ISA Convention and,
among other tasks, implementing certain innovations such as the Young Scholar Prize awards
(which recognise outstanding diplomatic scholarship from Masters to PhD levels).
Visiting Fellow, the Asia-Pacific College of Diplomacy
The Australian National University. May 2006 – January 2007
In Canberra, I wrote articles for publication based on my PhD research. Working under the
supervision of Pauline Kerr, the Director of Studies, I also organised, managed and
participated in three major international conferences/workshops:

2. Enhancing Performance in Multilateral Conferences and Diplomacy (in conjunction
with United Nations Institute for Training and Research and the Australian
Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade)
3. The China Symposium (working alongside The China Foreign Affairs University,
Beijing)
3. I also developed several new ‘short courses’ on diplomacy. These diplomatic ‘simulations’
(on negotiation, arbitration, mediation, communication and conflict resolution, for example)
resulted in ongoing contracts with, for example, the Australian Federal Police and the
Department of Environment.
Teaching Fellow and International Postgraduate Research Scholarship (IPRS)
Bond University, Gold Coast, Australia. August 2002 – May 2006
I tutored in a number of subjects while doing undertaking my PhD.

Future research & publications
I’ve three other papers in the pipeline on sports diplomacy with Chinese characteristics,
coming out of the cold: sports, culture and digital diplomacy in the Iranian context, and
Innovation in Australian Diplomacy. I also intend to write papers on Germany’s use of sport
5. as a foreign policy tool, the anthropology of diplomacy, music and diplomacy, art and
diplomacy, the diplomacy of terrorism, and football’s diplomatic deficit.
Professional Service
In the past I’ve consulted and worked with Football Federation Australia, the Department of
Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), and the Consular Corps in Melbourne. In the future, I’ll
continue my work on new diplomacies with DFAT and will consult with the Chinese and
Iranian governments on designing a sports diplomacy strategy. I’ve also done a number of
local and national radio and television appearances with ABC.
