Glenn Hooper serves as an Adjunct Professor in the Department of History at the University of Guelph. His extensive academic career includes positions at Glasgow Caledonian University (2012-2020), The Open University (2007-2010), Mary Immaculate College (2003-2006), University of Aberdeen (1999-2003), and St. Mary’s University College Belfast (1994-1999), with earlier roles at University of Southampton and University College Dublin.

His educational background comprises:

• M.Phil. from University of Essex (1996)

Hooper's research centers on Irish Studies and the History of Tourism, with deep engagement in Travel Writing from 1760-1860, analyzing how narratives shaped imperial perceptions. His work on Material Culture and Heritage examines contested spaces like workhouses and war memorials, bridging historical analysis with contemporary heritage practices through postcolonial and critical theory lenses.

His publication trajectory reveals evolving focus: early work (2005-2010) established foundations in 19th-century Irish travel writing and landscape, while recent scholarship (2016-2020) pivoted toward dark tourism, museum studies, and heritage interpretation in global contexts. Key themes include ethical dilemmas in favela tourism, memorial landscapes of war, and transnational museum collaborations, consistently examining power dynamics in cultural representation.
