Citations in the corpus
- Motivations and perceived value of volunteer tourists from Hong Kong (2011, background): “Some students choose to take a gap year from education and participate in overseas volunteer projects (Simpson, 2004; Söderman & Snead, 2009).”
- Motivation-based transformative learning and potential volunteer tourists: facilitating more sustainable outcomes (2014, methodology): “Unfortunately, when poorly managed, volunteer tourism activities may in fact create decidedly unsustainable by-products of “othering” and cultural stereotypes (Guttentag, 2009; McGehee & Andereck, 2008; Raymond & Hall, 2008; Simpson, 2004).”
- Experience Expectations of Prospective Volunteer Tourists (2012, background): “…existing volunteer tourists’ motives for engaging in volunteer tourism experiences (Broad and Jenkins 2008; Halpenny and Caissie 2003; McIntosh and Zahra 2007; Simpson 2004; Söderman and Snead 2008; Wearing 2001) but none have explored expectations using expectancy theory as a foundation.”
- Volunteer tourism, greenwashing and understanding responsible marketing using market signalling theory (2014, unknown): “…2010), marketed through “clichés, where the public face of development is dominated by western ‘good intentions’” which trivialise poverty and become the framework of reference for participants (Simpson, 2004:10) and where ultimately “tourism is business not charity” (Krippendorf, 1987:20).”
- Should Students Have a Gap Year? Motivation and Performance Factors Relevant to Time Out after Completing School. (2010, background): “Although recognizing the potentially stimulating elements of gap year activities, Simpson (2004) points out that they can also lack a “pedagogy for social justice” (p. 690).”
