Mobilities Beyond Boundaries: Social & Spatial Trajectories in Asia | July 6-7, 2024

@ UNIVERSITAS GADJAH MADA

CHSS Yello

In the framework of this two-day event featuring research papers from early career scholars, the concept of mobility was critically examined in its relation to movement and its potential for economic changes and social transformations.

Vied from both the physical (e.g., migration) and intangible vantage points (e.g., flows of ideas), we debated various types of movements past multiple geographies and across overlapping political, economic, social and cultural geographies. From forced migration to social upward mobility through to the transnational potential of languages, this Symposium hosted by Universitas Gadjah Mada will provided us with a platform to examine, compare and critique a variety of trajectories of movement between and among human actors, objects, information, ideas and capital.
