Using and writing Mobilities paradigms in postgraduate research 

17th Sep 2021 10:00am-12:30pm 

This training day will focus on theoretical discussion and exchange and networking. The key aim is to broaden participants' understanding and command of theoretical approaches and research methods relating to the concept of Mobilities. The day will focus on sharing the expertise of Surrey’s Mobilities Research Centre with students whose research involves paradigms and methodologies relating to the interdisciplinary concept of ‘Mobilities’, which is increasingly central to Arts and Humanities research. The first part of the day will consist of brief specialist presentations by Centre members, explaining their use of ‘Mobilities’ paradigms in their research. PGR students will then have the opportunity to present their own research from that angle, and to discuss it with small-group specialist input. Networking opportunities for all participants will be built in throughout the day, with a view to future research activities.

All Techne students are welcome to attend, particularly those working on topics involving concepts and methodologies relating to Mobilities, across all disciplines, locations and periods of study. This covers for example all students working on comparative and transnational topics, literal and figurative mobilities, connections and disconnections, social and cultural spaces.

The workshops will take place online on Zoom. Please email Constance Bantman to book your place.
