Geographies of Mobilities: Practices, Spaces, Subjects

This edited volume brings together leading academics to provide a revitalized 'geography of Mobilities', informed by the wider 'mobility turn' adopted across the social sciences and humanities. It makes connections between the seemingly disparate worlds of migration, transport and tourism.

Over the past fifteen years or so, there has been a widespread and increasing fascination with the theme of mobility across the social sciences and humanities. Of course, geographers have always had an interest in mobility, but as yet they have not viewed this in the same ''mobility turn'' as in other disciplines where it has been used to critique the standard approaches to the subjects. This text brings together leading academics to provide a revitalised ''geography of mobilities'' informed by this wider ''mobility turn''. It makes connections between the seemingly disparate sub-disciplinary worlds of migration, transport and tourism, suggesting that each has much to learn from each other through the ontological and epistemological concern for mobility.
