Josi speaks to Dr Beatriz Garcia about her research into dark tourism – when people visit sites associated with death, tragedy, and disaster.

 Beatriz has examined the area in her home country of Spain and in the UK. She looks at how those who manage the sites prescribe emotions, crafting experiences so that visitors experience certain feelings – from horror to sadness to pleasure – and why people visit them. Discover the importance of storytelling – how stories and told, and whose stories are told.

 Plus, how market simulations projects can help students prepare for the world of work, from teamwork to decision-making, strategizing and product design to dealing with unexpected events.
