Session Proposal

Themes on Mobilities Justice

Session Proponent: Maria Borovnik (Massey University)

Session Contributors: Open

This session invites papers that are concerned about uneven politics of mobilities. Topics could be looking at issues of injustice or inequalities across a number of different scales, including the planetary, national, urban, infrastructural or embodied scales[1], or beyond. A mobility justice approach encourages us to move away from European centred views towards listening to indigenous voices and grassroots perspectives and to engage with cultural diversity. We are interested in paper submissions that engage with mobility (in)justice perspectives in development in a number of (but not restricted to) these possible areas:

  • Climate Change
  • Occupational mobilities
  • Border control
  • Relocation
  • Motility
  • More-than-human aspects
  • Health and mobility

Gender mobilities
