Abstract

For decades, hospitality education was one of higher education’s great success stories. The UK once led Europe in developing postgraduate hospitality management programs that were academically rigorous yet deeply rooted in the realities of service and leadership. Today, however, this proud tradition is under threat, not from waning student interest or lack of industry relevance, but from within the academy itself. Two intertwined forces, managerialism and academic subject snobbery, are steadily eroding the humanistic, experiential-based ethos that once defined our discipline.
