Dan Robertson-Jones is Partner and Culture, Forecasting and Futures lead for the APAC region at Kantar Consulting. He has over 20 years' expertise in the fields of insight, strategy, design, cultural change, trend analysis and forecasting, having worked with and for businesses across the Americas, Europe, Africa and APAC. As part of the global team that pioneered Kantar's global sustainability practice, Dan brings the advisory and consulting experience of helping numerous global brands and businesses turn aspirations in sustainability into clear strategy, practical action and commercial impact. Off the back of last week's episode with Ethical Republic's Emma Pethybridge, today's episode sees Visit Northern Tasmania's Chris Griffin unpack with Dan the global sustainability practice that Kantar pioneered, to understand how markets are changing. Their research has proven up the acceleration of different values, attitudes and behaviours around how people want to live post-Covid, and Dan is well-placed to explain how sustainability plays (big time) into these changes. Dan also worked with Tourism Tasmania to understand how Tassie can find new relevance within these changing market aspirations, and to start a different conversation from travel and tourism being a passive pursuit to one that actually gets more out of life and leaves a positive impact. Tasmania has long thought of itself as the birthplace of the sustainability movement, and Dan agrees wholeheartedly that it's a world leader. However, the challenge now is how we move our thinking from minimising our impact to maintain the way we live, to a mindset of reimagining how we live and leaning into change to create a better future. In this episode, you'll get Dan's take on the responsibilities that the Tasmanian tourism industry must get serious about as it leans in to the positive impact agenda, the eight key areas of focus that will drive growth in the next few years, and how sustainability and profit can coexist.Today's episode is brought to you by our partner, Tourism Tribe.

Emma Pethybridge is the Founder and CEO at Ethical Republic, a for-purpose company that supports the development of nature-based enterprises in and around protected areas. Emma grew up on the north-west coast of Tassie, and has worked throughout Australia, North America, the Asia-Pacific and the Middle East in sustainability, cultural and nature-based tourism, and conservation market development. She has worked with the Indigenous Land and Sea Corporation, Emirates Nature-WWF, the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Science Centre, Swisscontact Vietnam and Expo 2020 Dubai's Sustainability Pavilion.In today's episode, Destination Southern Tasmania's Alex Heroys chats with Emma about what led her to founding Ethical Republic, which looks to find sustainable, scalable, inclusive and creative ways of unlocking value for communities so both people and wild spaces can thrive. Emma unpacks regenerative tourism, and how it takes the sustainable buzzword (at least) one positive step further. It's about intent and a set of actions that aim to leave things better than we found them, including respecting ecological boundaries, uplifting host communities, and using business as a force for good by incorporating purpose into its DNA. Emma also introduces her six dimensions of regenerative travel and tourism, and provides examples of how you can apply these principles to your business, no matter its size. While these shifts undoubtedly carry with them some investment of time, energy and finance, Emma explains how you can extract commercial value from your purpose by how - and to whom - you talk about what you're doing. Alex and Emma discuss the unique positive impact advantages available to Tasmanian tourism businesses through the state's existing wilderness values and cultural landscapes, as well as the opportunities to do better through promoting and partnering with the Aboriginal Tasmanian community to provide indigenous tourism experiences. Ultimately, a regenerative tourism plateau doesn't look to be on the cards. With the positive impact agenda tipped to continue to grow exponentially as people become increasingly intentional about the way they travel, this is critical listening for tourism operators.Today's episode is brought to you by our partner, Tasmania Parks & Wildlife Service.

William James (1842-1910) is one of the United States’ most far-reaching thinkers. His impact on philosophy, psychology, and religious studies is well documented, yet few scholars have considered James’ impact on the area of ethics and political thought. Trygve Throntveit‘s new book William James and the Quest for an Ethical Republic (Palgrave, 2014) is a persuasive and innovative look at the Jamesian social and political legacy, especially as played out in the presidency of Woodrow Wilson. Dr. Throntveit leverages the archives of the James family, including novelist Henry James, Jr. and William and Henry’s father, Swedenborgian theologian Henry James, Sr., to show how Henry Sr.’s ambitious but unfocused educational program affected William James’ vocation and intellectual commitments. In committing to a pragmatic ethic that could accommodate varieties of religious experience, James envisioned how a democratic society should regard the individual. Throntveit reads James in light of James’ personal development in relationship to other public intellectuals with whom he corresponded and was personally acquainted. The author keeps a steady eye on how William James developed as a person and as a scholar through his relationships. Throntveit’s innovation lies in tracing the ways in which others applied, and sometimes modified, Jamesian ideas during the Progressive Era of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Social critic WEB DuBois, philosopher of public life John Dewey, urban theorist and reformer Jane Addams, Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandies, Theodore Roosevelt, and others directly responded to William James’ pragmatism via their policymaking clout. In turn, these public intellectuals had the attention of Woodrow Wilson. The ideals of democracy–the ethical republic–were set in motion for the trials ahead in the Great War and beyond. William James and the Quest for an Ethical Republic contributes to William James studies, American history, history of ideas, and philosophy. Learn more about your ad choices.
