Newsletter December 2009
Welcome to the final CAUTHE newsletter for 2009.
Colleagues in the School of Management at the University of Tasmania have been busy with the organisation of the 2010 CAUTHE conference to be held on 9-11 February 2010. This promises to be an exciting and valuable meeting of academic minds in Hobart in February and we look forward to catching up with you when we “close the loop” for CAUTHE conferences at the 20th annual CAUTHE 2010 conference at the Grand Chancellor Hotel, Hobart.
At the 2010 AGM CAUTHE will be voting to expand its constitution to welcome New Zealand universities to join the CAUTHE family.
CAUTHE is again holding the Bill Faulkner PhD Workshop prior to the CAUTHE conference. All PhD students are encouraged to attend. In this edition we give you an update on the PhD Workshop.
We also let you know about a special edition of the Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Management and finally, we invite you tell others about joining CAUTHE via our online shop.
Now we are off to the Apple Island - Tasmania. Watch out for those Tassie devils!
Cheers,
Paul A Whitelaw
CAUTHE Chair
CAUTHE 2010 UPDATE
'Challenge the Limits of Tourism and Hospitality'
The response to call for papers has been great and more than 170 abstracts and full papers have been received.
Professor Pauline Sheldon will present the keynote speech which will reflect upon the development and future of hospitality and tourism education and the challenges it faces.
Registrations are coming in, but be aware that both accommodation in Hobart and airfares to Tasmania are always tight in February and intending delegates should book both early.

Special edition of the Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Managment
Members of the CAUTHE Student Experience Special Interest Group have finished compiling a special issue on the “Student Experience in Tourism and Hospitality Education” in the CAUTHE supported Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Management.
The issue includes seven articles covering a range of topics including: deconstructing the student experience; aligning learning and graduate outcomes through industry partnerships; and the use of wikis and The Simpsons in teaching and learning.
The special issue will be online in late 2009 or early 2010.
Please visit the JHTM webpage to view current journal contents and to sign up for content alerting.
ALTC Project
Congratulations to Associate Professor Dianne Dredge and her colleagues on securing a $200,000 grant from the Australian Learning and Teaching Council (ALTC). The aim of the project is to map the tourism and hospitality (TH) education curricula including core knowledge requirements and the pathways that students can take within the curricula space (e.g. from professional/vocational education to liberal education) in order to clarify what constitutes TH education in the higher education environment.
CAUTHE will work actively with Dianne an her team and they will hold a number of workshops at the upcoming CAUTHE conference to discuss the development of the project.
For more information email Dianne or download the Project information sheet.
