Authors: Lima, Joana Abstract: As Bélanger and Jolin, 10 years ago, mentioned, “social tourism sector is at the core of a humanistic vision for tourism” and because of that it isn’t surprising that we are all here discussing social sustainability and tourism as a real hope on a truly better future, a future made for people, where tourism can become a good example and a driver for change. This presentation will focus on why is it important that there exists research on social tourism and why that research may be the bridge between academics and professionals. In tourism, nowadays, many of us say that COVID was a unique opportunity to rethink the tourism sector. UNWTO just dedicated the World Tourism Day, a few weeks ago, to that theme and to think how the sector could be more resilient, sustainable and inclusive, given the huge challenges we are facing (labor market, rising inequalities as well as geopolitical tensions). In those challenges we may see enormous potential for the academia (with research) and the tourism agents (public and private) to collaborate with each other in finding a better path for the sector in the future. Research is the effective way to rethink how we do tourism.

The budgetary constraints after the financial crisis of 2011 affected the commitment; even so over 36,000 troops participated in peace missions in over 30 different theatres of operations, covering all the world continents (Arena, 2017). The new generation of Peace Support Operations, include conflict prevention, peacemaking, peacebuilding, peacekeeping, peace enforcement and humanitarian operations. This huge challenge engages mainly military personnel (with multiple and flexible capabilities), but also a large composition of civilian actors, such as police forces, NGO’s and members of multiple agencies. The participating in those scenarios opens possibilities for multinational civil-military cooperation which defies traditional boundaries. We will analyze professional trajectories of Portuguese military that after participating on peace missions are presently engage in civilian international organizations, still contributing to global security activities, under different roles and statutes. Based on deep interviews applied to ex-military, we will follow professional and personal trajectories, first in the military career then in civilian live. Special attention will be given to understand how previous military experience (education and profession) enable and facilitates the integration into international organizations and the commitment to human security Tue, 01 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10174/27465 2019-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10174/17223 Title: Retratos de Família. O Ensino-Aprendizagem da Interculturalidade, Mudança e Diversidade no Contexto do Ensino Superior Authors: Costa, Rosalina; Amaro, Ana; Montezo, Nélia; Marto, Neuza; Silva, Pamela Abstract: Este poster apresenta e sintetiza resultados da experiência de ensino-aprendizagem no âmbito da UC ‘Sociologia da Família’ [SOC2410], disciplina obrigatória do curso de 1.º ciclo de estudos em Sociologia e optativa para o curso de 1.º ciclo em Ciências da Educação na Universidade de Évora (Portugal), no ano letivo 2014/15, tomando como ponto de partida a análise de expressões da cultura que atravessam o quotidiano de estudantes e professores (e.g. obras literárias, músicas, filmes, peças de teatro, séries ou programas televisivos, pinturas, esculturas, etc.). A partir de uma análise detalhada das músicas “Postal dos Correios” (Rio Grande, 1996) e “Family Portrait” (Pink, 2001), explora-se o processo de modernização da família e extraem-se os “retratos de família” que permitem discutir transversalmente esta instituição como construção sociocultural.

Although the two are traditional areas of sociological study, and have occupied diferent ields of research. Today, the characteristics of these social institutions in contemporary society reinforce the need to discuss the relationship between work and family in the context of the social sciences, and very particularly in sociology. Interest of study that is even more evident in the ield of the military profession, given the speciicities associated with her, and also by the changes in society and the military. A signiicant number of studies have enlighten the impact of military life on families, considering that the circumstances of risk, frequent mobility, long absences, uncertainty etc. products remarkable efects not only in military service personnel, but also in those who are close to them. Family and the military organization have in common the fact of being extraordinarily demanding in ties, energy and total dedication. Using the terms of Segal (1988), the “greediness” of both institutions may lead to conlicts between the family and the military realm, which may present several conigurations and degrees, as well as several means of coping and dealing with the constraints. The aim of this paper is to compare the trajectories of man and women military personnel coming from the same promotion of oicers formed at the Portuguese Military Academy. Specially, we will be seeking to map their expectations regarding couplehood and parenthood besides the adopted strategies to cope and conciliate the family and the professional projects. In methodological terms, the main data will be supported on depth interviews in the form of life stories applied to the irst promotions of oicers that included women.
