Mobilities

Co-founded by John Urry, Mimi Sheller and Kevin Hannam in 2006 Mobilities has grown and developed to producing six issues a year.  Mobilities was accepted by the SSCI in 2010 and stands as a testament to John Urry's pioneering work and leadership in the 'new mobilities paradigm' in social science research. Following John Urry's death in 2016 the Editors welcomed David Tyfield of Lancaster Environment Centre at Lancaster University as co-Editor.

Mobilities examines the large-scale movements of people, objects, capital, and information across the world, as well as more local processes of daily transportation, movement through public and private space and the travel of material objects in everyday life. New transportation and digital infrastructures and novel social and cultural practices pose important challenges for coordinating and governing mobilities and for mobility rights and questions of ‘access’. These ‘mobility’ issues have generated new research methods and theories. Mobilities publishes original, theoretically-informed research which is international in scope. The journal addresses major topical issues and fosters scholarly debate around the ‘mobility’ turn.

All submissions undergo rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by up to three referees. The decisions of the editors are final.
