Tomas Pernecky is with the Faculty of Culture and Society at the Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand. An advocate of postdisciplinary approaches to knowledge, his wide-ranging interests extend to the fields of tourism and events studies, which he employs as contexts for examining a variety of philosophical, conceptual, theoretical, and methodological issues. Examples include ontological inquiry into the constitution of social worlds through the phenomenon of events (e.g., Ideological, Social and Cultural Aspects of Events by CABI), the epistemologies and methodologies in event studies (e.g., Approaches and Methods in Event Studies by Routledge), and the application of constructionist philosophy and hermeneutic phenomenology in tourism research (i.e., Constructionism: Critical Pointers to Tourism Studies and Hermeneutic Phenomenology in Tourism Studies published in Annals of Tourism Research). Tomas has just completed a work on Epistemology and Metaphysics in Qualitative Research for SAGE Publications—a text intended for social science researchers and qualitatively-inclined scholars. Together with Ana M. Munar he co-chaired the 2nd Tourism Postdisciplinary Conference in Copenhagen, and co-edited a special issue on tourism postdisciplinarity for Tourism Analysis.
