“…Such an approach allowed the evaluation of the Business School's approach to authentic learning and its adequacy as an academic approach in teaching and assessment. By using a variety of resources and techniques, which can include interviewing, observations and documentary sources, case study research allows for a comprehensive and critical understanding of the circumstances and characteristics of a particular instance (Gomm, Hammersley & Foster, 2000;Yin, 2009).…”

“…The authors are also documenting post-TLN learning interactions in a case ELC in a similar manner, the advantage of which is the capture of general relations 'in vivo", as alluded to by Glaser & Strauss (1967). By spending a prolonged period in the field, the researchers have gained true insight into the workings of tourism learning networks in the context of the research question (as suggested by: Gomm et al, 2000), resulting in a visual of learning evolution, an outcome alluded to by: Pettigrew (1990) and Patton et al (2000), among others.…”

Facilitated networks are regularly cited in tourism literature as a means to promote sustainable competitive advantage in small tourism firms. These networks function for a variety of reasons including marketing, innovation and research and development; however learning networks specifically seek to encourage learning among tourism entrepreneurs. Once established, the question remains whether such networks can transition from facilitated cooperative learning strategies to become independent learning communities in the longer term. Little is known about the formation, maintenance or success of these types of learning relationships after facilitated learning structures and supports reach a conclusion. What is known is that these networks, labeled 'Evolving Learning Communities' (ELCs) by the authors, are devoid of formal structures, thus autonomy in their structural and relational reasoning is required. In this paper, the authors explore a facilitated tourism learning network (TLN) environment operating in Ireland, and discuss the potential to transition from a facilitated TLN to an independent learning network environment. Following a comprehensive literature review, the authors propose an ELC model for the purposes of mapping the tourism entrepreneur's learning development, from the autonomous business setting to the facilitated learning network environment and on to the independent learning network arena, illustrating the evolution of a learning community. The overriding research objective is: to explore the elements and relationships that influence entrepreneurial learning in tourism learning networks. Future research will inform and validate the proposed model through the completion of a longitudinal interpretive case study incorporating sub-studies for the purposes of cross-validation.

“…As Gomm et al note [13], case studies provide opportunities for a range of different voices and methodological approaches to be pulled together as a means of deepening and improving understanding. This approach also meant that the existing research undertaken could be built upon and furthered without necessarily needing to replicate what had gone before.…”

Abstract:Research highlights how usage and claims of Islamophobia tend to be simplistic and without nuance. Using a case study approach, this article considers the claims of Islamophobia made in relation to the proposed Dudley ‗super-mosque'. Setting out a narrative of the ‗super-mosque', this article draws upon primary and secondary research to consider the claims and discourses of the major actors in the Dudley setting: the Dudley Muslim Association, Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council, the far-right especially the British National Party and the English Defence League, as well as individual political figures. Considering each in detail, this article seeks to evaluate the extent to which each of the actors and the claims of Islamophobia made against them might be valid. As well as exploring claims of Islamophobia within a ‗real' environment, this article seeks to critically engage the opposition shown towards the mosque, the way in which the opposition campaigns were mobilized and engineered, and how the ideological meanings of Islamophobia was able to be readily utilized to validate and justify such opposition. In doing so, this article concludes that the claims and usage of Islamophobia was weak and that a more critical and nuanced usage of the term is urgently required.
