Lauren A. Siegel

Dr. Lauren Siegel is a Lecturer in Tourism & Events at the University of Greenwich in London. Lauren's research focuses on how social media have transformed experiences into objects of collectible consumption and visitor impacts to destinations considered 'Instagrammable'. Lauren earned her MSc from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (Hons) and her PhD from the University of Surrey. Her research is centred on all things leisure and technology, and is published widely in both academic and industry journals.

Personally, Lauren is a keen traveller and considers local and authentic experiences very precious. Lauren also considers herself pretty witty, but not all will agree.
