| Abstract | This edited volume brings together leading academics to provide a revitalized 'geography of Mobilities', informed by the wider 'mobility turn' adopted across the social sciences and humanities. It makes connections between the seemingly disparate worlds of migration, transport and tourism, suggesting that each has much to learn from the others through the ontological and epistemological concern for mobility. |
