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

The encyclopedic field of mobilities studies calls for an encyclopedia, of course! Turn this kaleidoscopic book and view the complexities, pleasures, and challenges of mobilities from every angle. Here you can find seafarers and jazz bands, maps and photography, wind farms and stone, footballers and coffee, feral plants and eviction. This thought-provoking format lets you dip into all the possibilities of wayward routing, serendipity and surprise around every bend. Reading itself becomes a method to mobilize your thoughts, guide your memory, and spark new ideas. -- Mimi Sheller, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, USA This Encyclopedia is ample evidence of the full maturity of the mobilities turn in the humanities and social sciences. Linking everything from scuba diving to mobility justice, creative walking to waywardness, this mobilities masterpiece reveals the kaleidoscopic scope of what mobilities thinking has to offer. -- Tim Cresswell, University of Edinburgh, UK This is a treasure trove: deeply serious and playful, analytical and imaginative, embracing surprising connections and experimental forms. With entries ranging from elephants to psychogeography, it invites readers to wander, think differently, and discover new pathways. More than a reference work, it is an aid to creative thinking - a book to dip into, get lost in, and return to for inspiration. -- Bridget Anderson, University of Bristol, UK In the overwhelmingly interdisciplinary world of mobility studies and the contemporary proliferation of mobile figures, the Encyclopedia of Mobilities is an absolutely key resource for scholars to gather their bearings. Expertly edited and organized around a huge range of themes, it will no doubt be a citational way-marker for many years to come. -- Thomas Nail, University of Denver, USA
