Dear Colleagues,
Together with Wojciech Kębłowski, Claudio Sopranzetti, Tim Schwanen we are working on a special issue ‘(Dis)embedded informal mobilities’ and are looking for 2-3 additional contributions. We look forward to receive abstracts by January 18th and will invite selected contributors for an authors' workshop organised by Leibniz Institute for Regional Geography in April 2019.
The special issue aims to move beyond reductionist readings of informal transport. It analyses the socially and culturally embedded character of informal transport, the need for place-dependent understanding of diverse informal transport phenomena, and invites contributions that focus on:
· Challenges of definition and classification of informal transport
· Urban mobility governance, and attempts at state regulation and integration into ‘formal’ public transport systems
· Digitalization, and the changing nature of work and passenger experience
Please send your abstracts to one of the editors, Claudio Sopranzetti at: [log in to unmask]
With best regards,
Lela
