The Journal of Urban Mobility has opened a Call for Papers for a Special Issue titled Third Cultures of Mobilities, which focuses on alternative mobility futures and innovative research methodologies beyond dominant transport paradigms.

The Special Issue seeks contributions that engage with:

  • Culturally diverse mobility practices and future mobility imaginaries

  • Cultural diversity in mobility planning and everyday (im)mobilities

  • Alternative and experimental approaches to mobilities research

  • Feminist, participatory, spatial, or creative methodologies

  • Theoretical reflections on cultural diversity and “thinking otherwise”

  • Cross-cultural communication and vocabularies of mobility

Researchers from different disciplines and methodological backgrounds are encouraged to consider this opportunity. An expression of interest or abstract (approx. 200 words) is requested by 13 February, including a preliminary title, keywords, and author details.

The Special Issue provides a platform for critical and creative perspectives on how mobility is understood, practiced, and imagined across cultural and spatial contexts.
