Call for papers – Southern Diaries : Mobilities research in the Global South

‘Southern Diaries’ is a space in the Mobile Lives Forum website promoting mobilities research in the Global South.

Traditionally research has privileged the realities and problems of societies in the ‘North’ and the aim of Southern Diaries is to give greater visibility to lesser-known issues and researchers in southern societies.

Researchers and practitioners working on mobility-related issues in the Global South are invited to submit a short article (1,500 words) about any aspect of their work.

Submissions with a specific emphasis on people’s ways of life and aspirations, and the challenges and opportunities of ongoing social and cultural transformations for sustainable mobility transitions are encouraged.

Selected articles will be published in the Mobile Lives Forum’s website and regular newsletter.

Practical informations :

Submissions will be acknowledged on receipt and authors will be notified about the decision. Submissions should be 1,500 words.

Articles should be written in English or French. Please note that this call is different to the call aimed at promoting research in Arabic, Spanish and Portuguese

Who can participate: Submissions are encouraged from anyone working on mobility-related issues in the Global South.
