The Routledge Handbook of Mobilities explores and critically evaluates the debates and controversies inherent to this rapidly expanding discipline. This authoritative review is timely given the increasing interdisciplinary proliferation of 'mobility studies', and remarkable transformations, developments, decisions and behaviours occurring in the ways we move. It brings together leading specialists from range of disciplinary backgrounds and geographical regions to provide an authoritative and comprehensive overview of this field, conveying cutting edge research in an accessible way whilst giving detailed grounding in the evolution of past debates on mobilities, illustrating disciplinary trends and pathways, conceptual histories, and the mobilities of the past. The text is forward-thinking, and projects the future of mobilities as they might be lived, transformed and studied.
