Dr. Julia Branstrator brings a multidisciplinary approach to conservation social science spanning international sustainability studies in hospitality, tourism, and technology. Julia’s teaching philosophy is to creatively engage students in the classroom by incorporating students’ backgrounds, identities and knowledge to guide lessons while drawing from her own research and work experience. Her latest research (conducted within the Cavaliere Tourism and Conservation Lab) has focused on biocultural conservation through tourism, the relationships between technology, identity and emotion in gateway community tourism crisis and disaster management, and feminist methodologies for sustainable futures in tourism. Outside the classroom, you may find Julia biking, hiking with her dog (Aloy), or enjoying the communities of Fort Collins through volleyball, gaming, or concerts.
