For avid travellers and lifelong learners.Professor Karla Boluk draws on her relationship building with community partners, including Six Nations of the Grand, to offer a meaningful way to reflect on personal travel practices. She imagines tourism as a web of relationships that we have the opportunity, and responsibility to nurture. Travel is often imagined as a source of leisure and discovery, yet the ways we design, manage, and participate in it frequently overlook a fundamental human value: care. This talk explores how feminist care ethics, grounded in relationality, responsibility, and attentiveness, may help us rethink and rebuild tourism in ways that honour people, places, and the more‑than‑human world. Dr. Boluk argues that care is not a soft add‑on but a transformative framework for understanding our connections to destinations and to one another. By examining everyday encounters between hosts, visitors, workers, and environments, we will consider how care ethics encourages more reciprocal, respectful, and regenerative forms of engagement.
