Equipped with a background on Architecture and Urban Planning, and a MSc in Urban Development and Reconstruction in Developing Countries, complemented by a PhD in Events, Tourism, and Hospitality from Leeds Beckett University (UK) under the supervision of Prof. Rhodri Thomas and Prof. Xavier Font, her research focuses on cutting-edge areas within a more-than-human society.
Her research embraces circular economy and circularity in the physical and sociological space of tourism, leisure, and hospitality; posthuman approaches to animals, animal mobility, and the animal gaze within human societies; the role of alternative accommodations, food and culinary traditions for meaningful experiences and social inclusiveness; the interplay between mobility trends, spatial theories, and cultural geographies with regards to hospitality, tourism, and leisure.
Lucia has secured projects and funding through national and European grant programmes and published in highly regarded journals such as Journal of Sustainable Tourism, Tourism Geographies, Tourism Recreation Research, Current Issues in Tourism, and Journal of Tourism Futures among others. She has established and is co-organising the two ATLAS Special Interest Groups "Circular Economy and circularity in the space of tourism and hospitality" and "Animals in Tourism, Hospitality and Leisure".
