Mobilities, Literature, Culture is now in Korean translation! Published in the Mobility Humanities series of the Academy of Mobility Humanities, Konkuk University. It’s really exciting to see this and to extend the international reach of the collection in this way!
Our next online meeting is on Wednesday 14 February, 10.30-12 UK time; we will discuss two texts on borders, queer migration and border abolitionism.
This is open to external participants - please DM if you wish to take part.

A real treat to wrap up our term with two remarkably engaging and interesting talks by Elsa Devienne, on the history of LA beach culture and the school run, the so-called 'war on motorists' and the need to create and share counter-narratives of cycling and walking school runs.
We are looking forward to hosting Dr Elsa devienne (Northumbria University) on Weds. 6 December, 10-11.30am, to discuss both her award-winning book 'The Sand Rush' and her new project on the school gates and everyday mobilities.
The meeting is online so DM if you'd like to join.
