Travel From an Academic Point of View
Travel Blog • Michael Yessis • 10.31.05 | 4:27 AM ET
A lot of people ask vagabond Rolf Potts questions about the art of travel, many of which he answers in a column for World Hum. Sometimes he’s asked by academics and graduate students to talk about travel from another perspective, and he’s decided to start featuring some of those exchanges on his Vagabonding site.
He recently posted an exchange with Lea Teuscher, a journalism grad student at City University in London, which covers some interesting ground, including the state of newspaper travel sections and the rise of online travel blogs and Web sites. Teuscher quoted Potts in her thesis “Global nomads & The art of travel journalism,” which is also online.
