Assistant Professor, School of Tourism and Hospitality Management, Royal Roads University Dr. Ann-Kathrin McLean’s research evaluates the relationship between collective memory, Holocaust remembrance and a site of trauma. Understanding this relationship is important as we see a revival in fascist populism worldwide. Of specific focus is how Millennials interpret sites of Nazi war heritage and construct individual meaning. In order to help mitigate the memory loss across generations, McLean investigates how visiting a site of memory impacts a more embodied form of remembrance and influences a reflexive self. McLean has more than 15 years of experience in a number of tourism sectors that include accommodation, food and beverage, events, festivals and live theatre. She has been the production manager for international performing arts productions at the largest theatre festival in Europe and obtained hotel industry experience in the Middle East. She taught at Capilano University, Camosun College and College of the Rockies. At Royal Roads she is an assistant professor in the School of Tourism and Hospitality Management and has teaching experience at both the undergraduate and graduate level. She is also a grateful recipient of the Kelly Outstanding Teaching Award - category new teacher.
