*Im/mobile Youth: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Spatial and Temporal Change in Young People’s Lives*
An Interdisciplinary North West Doctoral Training Centre conference to be held at the University of Manchester on 1st April 2016
The importance of mobility has been recognised within the social sciences, leading Sheller and Urry (2006:207) to contend that a “new mobilities paradigm” has been formed. A small but growing number of authors have engaged with the mobilities turn to consider children and young people’s mobility, such as Skelton and Gough’s (2013) special issue regarding ‘Young People’s Im/Mobile Urban Geographies’. Following the lead of this work, this conference engages with work in the “new interdisciplinary mobilities paradigm” (Hannam and Butler, 2012:127) to deliver interdisciplinary perspectives on how young people experience im/mobilities, in a spatial, temporal and social sense.
We have excellent speakers presenting on a range of topics, including:
Social mobility; digital mobility; youth transitions; mobile methods; queer mobilities; navigating spatial ranges.
We have only a handful of places remaining for attendees!
Please e-mail [log in to unmask] as soon as possible to express your interest in attending.
Kind regards,
Samantha
