Dark Tourism and Pilgrimage Dark Tourism Dark Tourism and Pilgrimage and Pilgrimage 172 20.3 172 Dark Tourism and Pilgrimage Dark Tourism Dark Tourism Dark Tourism and Pilgrimage and Pilgrimage Edited by Daniel H. Olsen and Maximiliano E. Korstanje Edited by Daniel H. Olsen and Maximiliano E. Korstanje In recent years, there has been a growth in both the practice and research of dark tourism, the phenomenon of visiting sites of tragedy or disaster. Exploring this trend, this book examines dark tourism through the new lens of pilgrimage, focusing on dark tourism sites as pilgrimage destinations, dark tourists as pilgrims, and dark tourism as a form of pilgrimage. It considers aspects of both religious and non- religious pilgrimage, covering theories and histories of dark tourism and pilgrimage, pilgrimage to dark tourism sites, and experience design. This book: • Is the first to combine the fields of dark tourism and pilgrimage. • Includes case studies, such as visitor experience at the Aboriginal Culture Gallery in Western Australia, visitor motivation and meaning at Japan’s Aokigahara or ‘suicide forest’ and the complicated intersections of hip-hop pilgrimage and dark tourism in the Bronx. • Is written by a multidisciplinary set of contributing authors from Europe, the Americas, Australasia and Asia to give a globally relevant view of dark tourism and pilgrimage. A key resource for researchers and students of heritage, tourism and pilgrimage, this book will also be of great interest to those studying anthropology, religious studies and related social science subjects.

Manning IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Dr. Catherine R. Squires June 2015 © Meagan A. Manning, 2015 Acknowledgements This dissertation was completed over the course of several years, many coffee shop visits, and residence in several states. First and foremost, I would like to thank my adviser Dr. Catherine R. Squires for her wisdom, support, and guidance throughout this dissertation and my entire academic career. I would also like to thank my committee members, Drs. Tom Wolfe, David Pellow, and Shayla Thiel-Stern for their continued dedication to the completion of this project. Each member added a great deal of their own expertise to this research, and it certainly would not be what it is today without their contribution. I would also like to thank the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Minnesota for allowing me the opportunity to pursue graduate studies in Communication. A big thank you to the graduate student community at the SJMC is also in order. Thanks also to my family and friends for the pep talks, smiles, hugs and interest in my work. Finally, thank you to Emancipator, Bonobo, and Tacocat for getting me through all of those long days and late nights. i Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to Margaret and Edward Manning, Elvina and Edward Buckley and Edward Manning, Jr. and Gerard Manning, both of whom the universe took far too soon.

  • Essays on the Persecution of Religious Minorities by David Thomas Smith
    Essays on the Persecution of Religious Minorities by David Thomas Smith A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Political Science) in the University of Michigan 2011 Doctoral Committee: Professor William R. Clark, co-chair Professor Anna M. Grzymala-Busse, co-chair Professor Robert J. Franzese, Jr. Professor Andrei S. Markovits Professor Robert W. Mickey i Acknowledgements Throughout the last six and a half years I have benefited enormously from the mentorship and friendship of my wonderful dissertation committee members: Bill Clark, Anna Grzymala-Busse, Andy Markovits, Rob Mickey and Rob Franzese. I assembled this committee before I even knew what I wanted to write about, and I made the right choices—I cannot imagine a more supportive, patient and insightful group of advisers. They gave me badly-needed discipline when I needed it (which was all the time) and oversaw numerous episodes of Schumpeterian “creative destruction.” They also gave me more ideas than I could ever hope to assimilate, ideas which will be providing me with directions for future research for many years to come. But these huge contributions are minor in comparison to the fact that they taught me how to think like a political scientist. I couldn’t ask for anything more. All of these papers had trial runs in various internal workshops and seminars at the University of Michigan, and I profited greatly from the structured feedback that I received from the Michigan political science community, faculty and grad students alike. Thanks to everyone who was a discussant for one of these papers—Zvi Gitelman, Chuck Shipan, Sana Jaffrey, Cassie Grafstrom (twice!), Ron Inglehart, Ken Kollman, Allison Dale, Pam Brandwein, Andrea Jones-Rooy, Rob Salmond and Jenna Bednar.

Here is a sample article published in the Selma Times Journal about the Sisterhood of Salaam Shalom trip to Selma, Alabama in April 2018. Sisterhood of Salaam Shalom visits Selma2 Published 10:32 pm Thursday, April 26, 2018 By Adam Dodson | The Selma Times-Journal A Muslim and Jewish women’s group, known as the Sisterhood of Salaam Shalom, visited Selma on Tuesday for a tour of the city and to look for guidance of how to peacefully protest the marginalization of their identities. A city known as a catalyst for the voting rights movement, Selma is frequented by people from out of town who want to pay their respects to those who stood up for what they believe in. 1 https://www.thoughtco.com/how-to-write-a-news-article-1857250 2 https://www.selmatimesjournal.com/2018/04/26/sisterhood-of-salaam-shalom-visits-selma/ The stop in Selma is part of their tour of the south, visiting other civil rights locations in Atlanta, Memphis, Montgomery and Birmingham as well. The tour stems from their belief that modern day society still labels stereotypes and attempts to marginalize their two religions.
