Can-Seng Ooi

G'day, friends call me "Can Seng" ...

Knowledge should enhance academic progress, inspire students, enable the practice community
and energize public discussions - all at the same time.

My academic training is in sociology and anthropology.
My research has focused on the social construction and creation of intangible values,
examining their significance in various domains. These intangible values include tourism experiences, art and heritage,
sense of place, corporate social responsibility, and environmental values.

I am currently the Acting Head of the School of Social Sciences,
and Professor of Cultural and Heritage Tourism at the University of Tasmania (UTAS),
and Co-Director of the Tourism Research and Education Network (TRENd).
I am also the Vice-President (Program, World Congress of Sociology),
Research Committee 50 (International Tourism) of the International Sociological Association.

I would love to hear from you!
