Mobility has become the most suitable trope of our time. Whether it is our own mobility as we take holidays across the country, or that of goods transported across the world, or the migrant workers in our factories, mobility is everywhere. Drawing examples from the mobile world, mobile peoples, and mobile nature, the course unpacks the practices and politics of mobilities. It shows the human and more-than-human entanglements that impinge on our daily experiences and understandings of space, place, and landscape. It encourages students to think critically about the implications of these movements, what do they mean, and how are they given meaning? How is mobility experienced, and how are these experiences differentiated? And how do they link with critical questions of development, environment, and spatial justice? Exploring mobilities through this course will foster a nuanced understanding of our social world and inform design and planning practices.
