Borders and Mobilities: Introduction to the Special Issue

Tim Richardson

Mobilities, 2013, vol. 8, issue 1, 1-6

Abstract: The aim of this special issue is to stimulate conceptual development in the fields of borders and mobilities studies through theoretical and empirical contributions of scholars working at the interface between them. The introduction argues that there is both a need to strengthen the conceptual vocabulary through which the mobilities field engages with borders, and a corresponding need to rethink how border studies engages with mobilities. The contributions provide theoretical and empirical insights into the governing of mobilities, and into the ways that borders both prevent mobilities and afford new potentials for connectivity.
