International Workshop

Thursday and Friday, 30-31 May 2024
University of Neuchâtel

This event is organized by the team of the nccr – on the move research project “Towards a Novel Mobility Regime? The Legacies of the COVID-19 Pandemic Regarding the Governance of Human Movement”.

The two-day public workshop aims to tackle the critique raised on the ahistoricity of research and theories on mobilities and movements by delving into the question of legacies to make sense of historic and societal transformations in relation to mobilities and movements. To do so, it adopts a focus on the problematics of legacies; as a tool, object of study or basic posture through which to conceptualize and empirically study the complex temporal logics that are behind, inherent in and developing from differing regimes of (im)mobility. Invited scholars will present their contribution based on empirical and/or conceptual analysis to discuss around the question: what can we learn from studying mobilities and movements if we orient our analysis around the concept of legacies?

More Information and Program (PDF)

The workshop will be held at the University of Neuchâtel, Room RS38, Faculté des lettres et sciences humaines, Espace Tilo-Frey.

The event is open to the public to join the discussion, please register by Thursday 16th May at this link https://forms.gle/358AXrf67o3EsBfx6.
