Battlefield Tourism

 

Kelsey has published collaborative works on Battlefield tourism with colleagues from Australia, the United States and Canada. Central to this work has been ongoing collaboration with Dr. Raynald Harvey Lemelin (Lakehead University, Canada), which explores the use of contested narratives in interpreting battlefield tourism sites from the First and Second World Wars. 

 

Kelsey's emerging work in this area focuses on the intersection of SCUBA diving tourism and battlefield tourism.
