Abstract

Academic fieldwork is a crucial component in scientific advancement, knowledge production, and research training. While fieldwork is often reported on its conduct, methods and techniques, the intersection between liminality and gender in the solo fieldwork experience of female scholar has yet been fully scrutinised in tourism research. Adopting a duo-ethnographic methodology and through the use of visual memory-work, this ongoing study explores the experiences and evaluates the effects of entering liminal and masculine tourism spaces on two female scholars conducting solo fieldwork in remote Australia. The study is expected to contribute to theoretical advancement in the areas of gender studies, reflexivity, liminality, and transformative experiences. The study also provides practical implications for institutions and researchers engaged in remote tourism fieldwork.
