Abstract
ABSTRACT Hospitality and tourism degree programs are not typically studied in a historical context. Chronicling the past with respect to the formation and evolution of a post-secondary academic qualification has merit but research of this nature is not often conceptually sophisticated. A historical study of a four-year hospitality degree program is being undertaken at Niagara College Canada, an educational institution that has offered this academic qualification since 2003. The history of the degree program is distinguished by two themes: the degree is both a collective endeavour imbued with emotions and a product of calculated, business-driven deliberations. A degree, in this paper, is portrayed as an emotional enterprise; the work associated with its creation and management is informed by emotions and rational, commercial discourse. This paper uses the hospitality degree at Niagara College Canada as a case study to pursue a deeper understanding of the making and shaping of an academic qualification.
摘要酒店和旅游学位课程通常不在历史背景下进行研究。将过去与中学后学历的形成和演变联系起来是有好处的,但这种性质的研究在概念上往往并不复杂。加拿大尼亚加拉学院(Niagara College Canada)正在进行一项为期四年的酒店学位课程的历史研究,该教育机构自2003年以来一直提供这一学历。学位课程的历史有两个主题:学位既是充满情感的集体努力,也是经过深思熟虑、以商业为导向的思考的产物。在本文中,学位被描述为一种情感事业;与它的创作和管理相关的作品是由情感和理性的商业话语所决定的。本文以加拿大尼亚加拉学院的酒店学位为例,深入了解学历的形成和塑造。
