The aim of this book is to analyse and reflect on the effect of femininities in the field and the encountered biases specific to women researchers in tourism studies. The purpose of the book is to define potential areas of gender bias using international case studies from five continents to improve the validity and transparency of future research conducted by researchers in transcultural contexts. It covers broad themes including access, attire and conduct, sexual harassment, personal safety, and accompanied research and well-being. The volume provides case studies using reflexivity to create baselines for comparison for female (and male) researchers doing fieldwork and outlines potential areas of concern for supervisors through a transdisciplinary approach in a global context. It is an essential guide for supervisors, students, ethics committee members and any researchers.

A geographer with extensive research experience in the Canadian North, Jack D. Ives has written a lively and informative account of several expeditions to Baffin Island during the "golden age" of federal research. In the 1960s, scientists from the Geographical Branch of Canada's Department of Energy, Mines, and Resources travelled to Baffin to study glacial geomorphology and glaciology. Their fieldwork resulted in vastly increased knowledge of the Far North-from its ice caps and glaciers to its lichens and microfossils. Drawing from the recollections of his Baffin colleagues as well as from his own memories, Ives takes readers on a remarkable adventure, describing the day-to-day experiences of the field teams in the context of both contemporary Arctic research and bureaucratic decision making. Along the way, his narrative illustrates the role played by the Cold War-era Distant Early Warning Line and other northern infrastructure, the crucial importance of his pioneering aerial photography, the unpredictable nature of planes, helicopters, and radios in Arctic regions, and of course, the vast and breathtaking scenery of the North.Baffin Island encompasses both field research and High Arctic adventure. The research trips to Baffin between 1961 and 1967 also served as a vital training ground in polar studies for university students; further, they represented a breakthrough in gender equality in government-sponsored science, thanks to the author's persistence in having women permitted on the teams. The book contains a special section detailing the subsequent professional achievements of the many researchers involved (in addition to the later career moves of Ives himself) and a chapter that delves deeper into the science behind their fieldwork in the North. Readers need not be versed in glaciology, however. Ives has produced a highly readable book that seamlessly combines research and adventure.

Die Herstellung von Kunstwerken wird in jüngerer Zeit vermehrt aus dem Atelier in spezialisierte handwerkliche Produktionsstätten ausgelagert. Die hier tätigen »Art Fabricators« sind in der Regel namen- und gesichtslos auf der Hinterbühne der »Art World« mit ihrem handwerklichen Geschick, einem ausgeprägten Kunstverständnis und hohem Maß an Kreativität an der Hervorbringung von Kunstwerken aktiv beteiligt. Sie stehen im Zentrum dieser Studie. Mittels ethnografischer Feldforschungen bietet Franz Schultheis erstmals Einblicke in die Praxis sowie Produktionsbedingungen und -verhältnisse solcher Manufakturen. Dabei werden auch das besondere Berufsethos ihrer Mitarbeiter*innen sowie deren Selbst- und Rollenverhältnisse untersucht. Nicht zuletzt stellt sich aber auch die Frage, wie dieser Wandel in der Produktion von Kunstwerken die Vorstellung vom Künstler und von der Kunst selbst verändert.
