Ilaria Pappalepore

I am a reader in tourism and events, and co-convener of the Place & Experience research group in the School of Architecture and Cities. I first joined the University of Westminster in 2006 as a PhD candidate and a guest lecturer at the Centre for Tourism and Events, and later (2010-11) I became an associate researcher with the department of Urban Planning and Regeneration. Between September 2011 and June 2014 I was senior lecturer in Tourism and course leader of the BA Tourism Management at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge. Prior to joining the University of Westminster and Anglia Ruskin University I worked at the Lille Development Agency (France), department of Culture and European Relations.
