moreResearch
Adele’s research interests are the labour, employment and human resource aspects of tourism and hospitality. This comprises labour mobility and migration in hospitality work, employee wellbeing, human capital development and education. In this context she is an advocate for the work history method and its role in assessing past and future labour market conditions.
She is also interested in the technological affordances for the work and leisure tourism experience, in particular the practices of ICT use in leisure and business tourism and how future travel experiences are shaped by digital developments. Recent research has included how digital technology is used in managing work-life balance when on the move, and the blurring of work-leisure boundaries.
She has completed an EU funded project SAIL (Staying Active and Independent for Longer) that explored active and healthy ageing and the cross-over with tourism. Other research projects include a multidisciplinary research project 'Family Rituals 2.0' funded by the EPSRC, exploring the evolving nature of family rituals in the digital age and the use of technology to support the work-life balance of mobile workers. Her particular interest in this relates to those who are mobile through employment in the tourism sector.
Her interest in mobile workers follows from previous research into migrant workers in the hospitality industry examining patterns of mobility and working experiences.
