2026 Poster Session A
A09 - An Ethnographic Study of Tourism and Cultural Exchange in Greenland & Iceland
Mentor: Mark Peterson, Ph.D.
This study is a participant observation ethnography of tourism over an 8-day study abroad trip. The group consisted of 12 Miami University students and spent 5 days in Reykjavik, Iceland, and 3 days in Nuuk, Greenland. Over the course of the trip, the group identified many experiences as “tourist traps” and chose to enthusiastically pursue them anyway.
