Research Interests
Recent research:
The researcher’s publications articulate a multidisciplinary narrative that intertwines environmental and cultural dimensions with education and tourism. Across the works, there is a focus on the lived experiences of marginalized communities and the ways in which place-based practices—ranging from remote monastic settings and sanctuary conservation to intercultural learning environments and vibrant cultural heritage—shape social inclusion, knowledge construction, and community resilience. The abstracts reveal methodological leanings toward qualitative, interpretive storytelling and contextual analysis of local ecosystems, educational settings, and cultural expressions, highlighting both the challenges and opportunities of sustaining endangered practices, languages, and landscapes. The overarching impact lies in foregrounding inclusive practices, community empowerment, and the preservation of cultural and environmental resources through education, storytelling, and creative industry engagement.
