Summary:

"This Encyclopedia provides a comprehensive overview of the dynamic and interdisciplinary field of mobilities. It offers a broad definition of the rich and varied approaches to understanding the uneven movement of people, things, animals, infrastructures and ideas. Scholars, practitioners and activists from across the globe illustrate the differences and contradictions in this kaleidoscopically diverse field. Topics covered range from border crossings, gig economy delivery riders and the experience and perspective of those who move, to the policies and techniques which seek to govern mobility, and the ways those (im)mobilities might be resisted, or expressed in artistic and creative forms. The Encyclopedia of Mobilities is an essential resource for students and academics of mobilities and movement across the social sciences, including human geography, sociology, anthropology, cultural studies and politics as well as interdisciplinary fields such as urban studies, migration and border studies and transport studies. It is also a beneficial read for practitioners and activists involved in mobility and transport justice movements, migration and environmental advocacy. Key Features: - Presents creative and critical approaches - Covers key topics in mobility across disciplines - Includes more than 150 clear and accessible entries"-- Provided by publisher.
