About Us
mediterranean mobilities is an international collective of researchers that takes the form of a network. By different entry points and through diverse perspectives and disciplines we want to capture and raise awareness of the transnational complexity of Mediterranean life and generate and disseminate cutting-edge, blue-sky thinking on emergent Mediterranean mobilities in relation with the challenges facing the region in the 21st century.
mediterranean mobilities is a distinctive initiative in the landscape of Mediterranean research in the way it brings together social scientists, opinion formers, engineers, architects and artists to study and raise awareness about how movement and circulation are produced socially, symbolically, politically and technologically. The network is also characterised by its concern with understanding the relationship between different mobilities (e.g. tourism, migration, long distance trade routes and short distance everyday journeys) and their future evolution in the context of growing geopolitical and environmental instabilities.
mediterranean mobilities seeks to enrich analysis on Mediterranean life through a mobilities perspective while at the same time expand the scope of mobilities research through Mediterranean concerns, problems and experiences.
mediterranean mobilities integrates and connects researchers specifically focused on mobilities, yet it also appeals to scholars working on adjacent areas which can benefit from a sensitivity to the increasingly im/mobile nature of contemporary life.
There is an unexplored potential of collaboration between different disciplines, research groups and networks around the study of mobilities and mediterranean mobilities seeks to contribute to achieve greater cooperation in the emerging Mediterranean academic space.
mediterranean mobilities has been created under the auspices of the Centre for Mobilities Research at Lancaster University, UK, where its co-ordination node currently resides. This networking initiative is closely associated with the Cosmobilities network.
