1869, Episode 42 with Eric Zuelow, Series Editor for Histories and Cultures of Tourism

Cornell is launching a new series, Histories and Cultures of Tourism, and Series Editor Eric Zuelow joins us to discuss what it is all about. We discuss the history of the field of tourism studies, seminal books in the field and what he and CUP Senior Editor Emily Andrew are looking for in regards to prospective projects. Along the way we also discuss Volkswagen Beetles, Roman graffiti, and Cornell's School of Hotel Administration.

To submit a proposal for the series please contact Eric Zuelow and Emily Andrew via email. Their contact information can be found at the following websites:
