Paul Tully Author

Paul Tully is a PhD candidate at the University of Otago (New Zealand). Paul’s interests lie in the critical study of tourism and leisure. His current research is in the emerging research strand of multispecies tourism and leisure entanglements, which focus on animal welfare, rights, and issues of morality. His most recent work focuses on park duck ponds and the consequences of human-animal entanglements in such places. To date, Paul has authored (or co-authored) 23 publications. He has recently co-edited a special issue of the World Leisure Journal on the topic of human-animal entanglements in leisure.

Neil Carr is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Otago (New Zealand). Neil’s work is grounded in notions of power, welfare, wellbeing and rights. He has explored these within the contexts of children and families, animals and sex, utilising the lenses of leisure and tourism to do so. The brains behind all of this are only stymied by their lack of opposable thumbs, which give them the ideal excuse to laze around for most of the day, proving their intelligence in the process.
