Moving Matters: People, Goods, Power and Ideas

From local to transnational, focusing on the intricate dimensions of mobility
Moving Matters

The social consequences of the mobility of people, goods, power, and ideas constitute the central focus of the Moving Matters research programme. Members of the research group explore migrating people and moving commodities, as well as the shifting networks (of solidarity, remittances, knowledge, meaning, and power) that result from such practices. These networks stretch from the local to the transnational and necessarily involve encounters with the state through deportation regimes, access to resources and technologies, border infrastructures, decolonial and postcolonial movements, labour relations, and violence and conflict.
