Movement, migration and mobility

Humanities and social sciences researchers study all types of circulation and flows. This includes objects, traded goods, financial flows and technologies but also models, knowledge, viruses and epidemics, rumours and, of course, human beings. What are the circuits taken by these flows, who are the stakeholders involved, what images and representations do they convey and what socio-technical systems do they work with? The many questions involved cover all scales from local, commuting and everyday mobility (involving research into spatial planning, the environment, residential choices and life paths for example) to international migration studied from the standpoint of migration experiences and also as regards the geopolitical processes underpinning these.
