We have selected two matters for further consideration a choice influenced by our observations of the increasingly violent polarisations of populations within and across nations: Concern about the intensification of divisiveness the universalising of oppositional assumptions generating the antithesis of the desired outcomes. Anti-racism. In hospitality, emerging research has shined light on the perception of discrimination among industry workers, but personally, it comes as no surprise to me.

Our findings demonstrated that (a) implicit attitudes (RIAT D-scores) were significantly correlated with self-reported measures (explicit attitude, perceived technology innovativeness, and behavioral intention), (b) different patterns of explicit and implicit attitudes exist, and (c) males may have a more favorable preference toward service In addition to canvassing how the specific aims of Decol2020 were experienced by participants we wished to assess our impact through what Butler and Athanasiou (Citation2013) refer as affective laborof critical agency[of] forging an alternative to the present.

Such agreement-making entails the types and processes of power Foucault brings to our attention: repressive or generative forms of power and their uses by the oppressor/oppressed, the privileged/marginalised, worthy/unworthy themselves not as fixed or internally consistent as these binary categories might suggest but as always open to renegotiation, however unequal the concerned parties are in that reshaping.
