OPSITARA Research
Welcome to this month's selection of research by our staff and students.
Our warm congratulations to Émilie Crossley, who has been awarded a Postdoctoral Fellowship by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS). Émilie intends to research tourist experiences and their expression on social media during her time in Japan. We wish Émilie all the best with the process of obtaining a visa and arranging travel to Japan in order to take up the Fellowship later this year, made more difficult due to COVID 19 travel restrictions. You can read about recent research by Émilie in this issue.
Recently we produced a short video highlighting the range of postgraduate study options available at Otago Polytechnic. We offer research degrees in seven disciplines, including a Doctorate of Professional Practice. We welcome enquiries for postgraduate study.
