Feras Orekat

Educational professional with robust background in academic instruction and curriculum development. Proven ability to create impactful lesson plans and foster collaborative learning environment. Known for adaptability and dedication to achieving student success through innovative teaching methods and effective team collaboration.

My research advances knowledge in heritage interpretation, visitor experience, and tourism studies, with a particular emphasis on sites of dark tourism. I focus on uncovering how visitors engage with contested histories and underrepresented cultural narratives, and how these can be better integrated into heritage practice. My work bridges academic inquiry with practical application, producing outcomes that inform site management, enrich visitor understanding, and contribute to more inclusive storytelling. Through publications, teaching, and ongoing projects, I continue to shape critical discussions in heritage and tourism, while ensuring that research outcomes have relevance beyond academia.
