His work explores the production of tourism space, its role in the capitalist system expansion, and its biopolitical dimensions. His latest research look at climate change, social innovations, indigeneity and critical perspective in tourism studies.
Professor Lapointe has been selected as a short stay visiting professor at the Department of Historical and Geographic Sciences and the Ancient World–DiSSGeA in the framework of Shaping a World Class University, the strategy of the University of Padua to promote and renew global internationalisation.
