It is always pleasantly surprising to find inspiration in unexpected places. Working in multi-disciplinary areas, meeting with colleagues from different fields and appreciating the importance of listening has presented countless opportunities to find new ideas and to stretch my imagination regarding the limits of my interests. However, I am also repeatedly astonished by the boundaries that colleagues choose to impose on how they engage with other concepts, methods and people. Two recent events in particular reminded me of these performed boundaries: both involved academic mailing lists and similar patterns of behaviours. In the first incident an early-career researcher posted a call for papers for the 2016 interdisciplinary Critical Hospitality Studies Symposium to a ‘dark-tourism’ mailing list (i.e. tourism activities and sites associated with suffering and/or death). Apparently a number of people unsubscribed from the list shortly after the call for papers was posted. Statisticians may warn us: correlations should not be taken as evidence of causation. Nevertheless, the list moderator announced to the remaining subscribers that he felt the post had ‘no relevance whatsoever to the membership [of the group]’ and ‘consequently, [he had] removed [the poster’s] membership from this list.’ In a similar incident, a well-established colleague announced a hospitality-focused seminar on a widely used tourism-centric mailing list. Another colleague, adopting a combative tone, challenged the appropriateness of publicising the event on an international tourism forum, whilst also questioning the connection to tourism more generally, stating that ‘a link to the relevance of tourism would be in order, wouldn’t it?’ Admittedly the symposium call for papers and the seminar abstract did not engage extensively with tourism (or dark tourism in the case of the former). 1 It is also possible to understand that in the first incident the moderator felt that the requests to unsubscribe threatened the sustainability of ‘his list’. However, this list does not receive many postings – most often 1-2 conference calls in a month, and there are frequently months when no-one posts to the list. Unlike other mailing lists, there are usually no exchanges or extended debates on this forum. One may question the intellectual commitment of people to the subject area and the ‘community’ if they disengaged with the (relatively quiet) forum after just one conference post. Nevertheless, both these incidents raised similar and more fundamental questions: why ask these questions or raise objections, and why do it in these ways?

Evidence suggests that hospital patients receive the medical treatment they need but are sometimes left feeling depersonalized and alienated with their overall treatment. This New Zealand study explored the lived experience of hospitality among adults during their recent hospital stay. A hermeneutic phenomenological methodology was used to design and conduct the study. Seven participants, aged 22 to 65 years, who had spent at least three days in a hospital for elective surgery were purposively recruited. Data were gathered using semi-structured, conversational-style individual interviews. Participant-validated, coherent stories were drawn from the transcripts and analysed. The findings revealed that hospitality showed itself in different ways to the participants. When present, they experienced feelings of comfort, of being at ease and of being healed. The implications for health care practitioners are that offering often small, yet heartfelt acts of hospitality may evoke powerful lived experiences that benefit the patient, suggesting that caring about the patient is an important element of the healing process.

The aim of this article is to discuss the key issues which have had significant influence on a PhD research student journey from positivism to interpretivism and the subsequent impact on the research methodology adopted. This journey is illustrated through 1) briefly analysing and reflecting upon the nature of relevant accumulated knowledge in the fields of hospitality, tourism and entrepreneurship fields; 2) critically analysing the impact of social setting on entrepreneurial behaviours and attitude; and 3) reflecting upon how the two previous points influence researcher behaviour and methodological design. Drawing upon research undertaken within the Dalmatia region of Croatia, a former socialist country, the contextual focus is small hotel owners within the hospitality industry. The article is loosely framed within a hospitality analytical lens and furthers debate on the nature of academic hospitality (Phipps and Barnett 2007) as well as proposing steps to welcome inhospitable knowledge.
