Michael Hall's LinkedIn profile
Why did you choose Lund University?
I have a long connection with researchers from Lund University and especially in tourism and service studies. I received an honorary doctorate from the University so it is really nice as a more experience researcher to be able to continue to work with people and encourage the further development of leading research where I can.
Can you briefly describe your current research?
My work has a number of connected strands but broadly I look at issues of sustainability, resilience, consumption, and regional development in relation to tourism and services. Looking at the interrelationships at different scales as well as the significance of factors such as geopolitics, digital technologies, and political consumerism.
What will be your main research focus during your time at Lund University?
In terms of research it will most like be in the area of sustainable consumption and degrowth but also seeing how it links in with organisational, community and individual behaviours. But some of time will also be spent sharing with colleagues and students about how we best do research in the current environment.
