Incorporating dignity in urban mobility justice
Debates on transport and mobility justice would be enriched by a more thorough and critical engagement with dignity. As dignity is a complex, contested and multi-faceted concept which has been theorised across multiple disciplines, its various dimensions and their applications to urban mobility justice frameworks require gradual unpacking. In this article we focus on one dimension: the tension between externally defined notions of dignity, presen…
The Politics of Infrastructural Reversibility
Large infrastructure projects are difficult for publics to challenge, scrutinise, or engage with. A well‐researched barrier to public engagement is the technical complexity of large projects, whether it be materially present, or discursively constructed by professional experts. However, the multiple temporalities of large infrastructure projects can also hinder public scrutiny and opposition. In this commentary, I explore the reversibility of lar…

Affording mobility
The affordability of transport is a long-standing concern of both transport and economic geography. However, despite the growing influence of relational and heterodox economic thinking in a range of geographic sub-disciplines, the cost of transport is still largely conceptualised in universalising, binary, and purely quantitative terms, as either affordable or unaffordable. The present paper proposes the concept of transport un/affordability to b…
Negotiating dignity in public geography
In this paper, I reflect on some of the ethical dimensions of public engagement with geographic research. The paper draws on my recent experience of a project entitled ‘Not working from home’, which sought to make visible the everyday experiences of essential workers during the COVID‐19 pandemic. The project was intended as a space for essential workers to document their daily lives using text, images and video, enabling them to engage with each …
We usually have a bit of flood once a week ”
In Malate, a district of Manila, flooding is a frequent occurrence. This paper draws on in-depth \ninterviews with Malate inhabitants to approach urban floods as more than discrete disastrous episodes \nwhich interfere with a pre-existing normality. The paper employs a Levebvrian conceptualisation of \nrhythm and entrainment, while also offering some reflections on the limits of its relevance to global\nSouth cities. Theorised from Malate, urban …
Essential workers' pandemic mobilities and the changing meanings of the commute
This commentary reflects on the pandemic commute and its significance for, on one hand, engaging with the problematic category of essential work, and on the other, future geographical research on transport and mobilities. Drawing on essential workers' contributions to the 'Not working from home' public engagement project, I outline some experiences of commuting during the COVID-19 pandemic. I illustrate the role of pandemic commuting in defining,…
Exploring the Role of the Workplace in Experiences of Commuter Stress
Several studies have argued that the effects of commuter stress spill into other domains of everyday life, including the workplace. However, the entanglements between commuter stress and the workplace are complex and multidirectional. Commuter stresses both shapes and is shaped by managerial policies, workplace social relations, and the negotiations of working schedules. The present paper explores these interconnections. Drawing on a survey of 28…
Moving safely at night? Women’s nocturnal mobilities in Recife, Brazil and Brussels, Belgium
This paper examines the links between women’s un/safety and their night-time mobilities in Brussels, Belgium and Recife, Brazil. While the significance of women’s intersectional identities to the construction of fear and safety in urban space has been well documented in feminist urban geography, we argue that the lens of South-North comparison highlights specific ways in which local urban spaces are implicated in women’s experiences of un/safety.…
Changemakers and change agents
This paper examines the role played by a student-organized research conference in the age of research-led teaching and active learning. Drawing on our experiences of organizing two departmental conferences in Geography in March 2016 and March 2017, we begin to outline how institutional support and funding for student-led “Changemakers” projects can not only introduce students to specific aspects of research (in the case of our conference, to diss…
Care-related journeys over the life course
Co - Producing Mobilities
In an experimental session entitled Co-Producing Mobilities held at the 2014 Royal Geographical Society-Institute of British Geographers Annual Conference, 20 mobility scholars travelled around London on foot, by bus and by Tube to investigate how mobilities could be considered co-produced. In this paper, 18 participants reflect on this collaborative experiment and on how it influenced their thinking about mobilities, geographical knowledge and p…
Cycling in the post-socialist city
There are many ways of moving through a city. Cycling is one which has received considerable attention from urban scholars. Yet it has remained largely neglected within the burgeoning literature on the post-socialist urbanisms of Central and Eastern Europe. This paper uses a case study from Sofia, Bulgaria to address this gap in urban research. By exploring the practices and affordances of cycling, we offer a discussion of everyday mobility, publ…
