CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
We invite researchers from the social sciences and humanities to join the mobilities studies community in Aotearoa New Zealand in exploring current and possible future mobilities and resilience.
Work from any discipline is welcome. We encourage postgraduate participation. We are interested in empirical research and ideas about how people, things and ideas may move - or not - in the future, and how such mobilities may impact on human, economic and environmental resilience.
Presentation topics could include:
likely future mobilities
how people, things, or ideas may travel in the future
resilience in the world of mobilities – past, present, future
future movements across and within borders
forecasting future mobilities; learning from successes and failures of forecasting in the past
future communications and mobilities
the future of different kinds of transport
mobilities of specific groups
pathways from current to future mobilities
other topics relevant to the theme.
