Mobilities I Catching up
TLDR
In the context of a world on the move, the authors make a case for mobility research as a project which focuses on the universal but always particularly constructed fact of moving, arguing that mobilities research takes a more holistic view that allows it to make some previously unlikely connections.Abstract:
This first report on mobilities outlines some aspects of research on mobilities that differentiates it from and connects it to earlier, ongoing geographies of movement such as transport geography. In the context of a world on the move it seeks to bring us up to date with the mobilities turn and make a case for mobility research as a project which focuses on the universal but always particularly constructed fact of moving. Mobilities research is compared to and differentiated from work in transport geography, arguing that mobilities research takes a more holistic view that allows it to make some previously unlikely connections.read more
