Claudio MINCA is presently Professor of Geography at Royal Holloway, the University of London and Visiting Professor at the College of Tourism, Rikkyo University, Tokyo.  Previously, he taught at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne (2004-2006), at the University of Venice (1998-2004), at the University of Trieste (1990-1998) and at Venice International University (1999-2002) and has been Visiting Professor at several international universities. He has published widely on the relationship between geographical representations and tourist space and the philosophy and theory of geography.  His current research centres on three major themes: the spatialisation of (bio)politics; tourism and travel theories of modernity; and the relationship between modern knowledge, space and landscape in postcolonial geography. In empirical terms his most recent work has been focussed on Trieste, Morocco and more in general the Mediterranean. Prof. Minca is the author/editor of nine books and over 90 between refereed journals articles, invited articles, chapters in edited volumes and essays, mainly in Italian and English, but also in French and Spanish.
