Shu Cole studies travel, tourism, and leisure with a focus on accessibility and well-being, especially for people with disabilities (such as spinal cord injury) and older adults. The research examines how travel participation relates to social outcomes like loneliness, social isolation, cognitive function, and life satisfaction, and also explores accessible travel technology and airport/air-travel experiences. Recent work includes questions about fairness in AI tools used for travel planning.
Publication activity has been fairly steady across the decade, with a notable peak in 2024 (with recent 2025-2026 counts likely still being indexed).
