The sessions also included a presentation by Kim\, entitled “Mobilities in Times of Crisis: Seeking Third Cultures of Mobility Through Creative Participatory Methods”\, and a presentation by Wendy\, entitled “Talking the Talk\, Walking the Walk: Auto-ethnographic Reflections on Multicultural Terms of Mobility.” Other presentations will be held by Peter Norton\, Stefanos Tsigdinos\, António Ferreira\, Enrica Papa\, Hannah Hook\, Joyce David\, Dario Stolze\, Thomas Klinger\, and Sonja Haustein. \nBelow you can find the summary of the theme of the sessions and the program of short presentations that are included in each session. The sessions are organised in such a way that they should allow plenty of room for discussion of the sessions’ theme. Further details to be found via the conference’s own program (see the links for session 1 and session 2). \nRGS Online Special Session: Third Cultures of Mobility: Exploring and stimulating alternative mobility futures and research methodologies \nOrganisers: Kim Carlotta von Schönfeld and Wendy Tan \n\n\n\nAccording to David Graeber\, “the ultimate truth of the world is that it is something we make and could just as easily make differently” (Graeber\, 2024). (Hyper)-Mobilities and other mechanisms of globalization\, however\, seem to imply that it has become increasingly difficult to perceive ways to make things differently\, despite (or because of?) intensive contact among countless cultures around the globe. The question then is\, how can creative and diverse alternatives for mobilities be stimulated in this context? This session explores possibilities in this regard\, with some more classical\, some more radical presentations of non-mainstream (usually non-car-based) mobility cultures\, and methods of how these can be explored. The session discussion explores in depth how the proposals presented can be connected\, for instance through the conceputalisation of “Third cultures of mobility”. The latter refer to cultural interweavings that emerge when various cultures interact in significant ways. What might “Third Cultures of Mobility” look like\, and how might they contribute to more or less openness to change in regards to the futures of mobilities (or immobilities)? Within the context of turbulent global times\, and polycrises to which some contemporary mobility practices contribute to a very high extent (through CO2 emissions\, as well as by other dynamics\, such as lack of local engagement and superficialisation of human relations)\, other contemporary mobility practices provide important solutions (e.g. minimising mobility\, or shaping or enacting it differently\, using it to deepen both local engagement and human relations\, and questioning the need for streamlined\, speed-based mobility). After all\, perhaps it is not only how much we move\, but (also) about how we move. \nNot only cultural creativity\, but also questions of communication/vocabularies\, and methodological creativity when studying and/or encouraging cultural diversity can be key when exploring “Third Cultures of Mobility”. Arts-based workshops and mobile interviewing have been used to trigger cultural reflection and interaction (see e.g. https://mobileworlds.online)\, but many other creative methods and methodologies have been emerging. \nThis set of two special sessions provides a platform for discussion creative ways of dealing with cultural diversity and diverse methodologies in mobilities research\, including but not limited to: \n\nculturally diverse practices and/or planning for future mobilities\ncultural diversity in (im-)mobility planning and/or practices\nalternative methodologies for studying (im-)mobility planning and/or practices\ntheoretical reflections on cultural diversity and “thinking otherwise” (preferably withan angle towards mobilities research)\ncross-cultural communication / vocabularies of mobility\n\nThe sessions consist of short presentations\, leaving a larger amount of time for discussion at the end\, to connect the topics covered in view of “Third Cultures of Mobility” and creative ways forward for mobilities research and practice. Both sessions include a combination of more conceptual and more methodological ambitions\, empirical findings and proposals for application. \nReference: Graeber\, David.

MobileWorlds is happy to be included in the programme to present some of our work. \nThis is the abstract accepted for the Conference: \n  \n“Third Cultures” for Sustainable and Just Mobilities: Questioning the Origins\, Uses and Futures of Streets \nCultures – be they national\, regional\, local\, or subcultural – have been increasingly mobile over the past decades. Even during the Covid-19 pandemic\, cultures continued to mix and merge to exceptional degrees. It is not that cultural diversity is new\, historically\, yet its intensity and impact on daily lives of people of all ages\, societal groups and diverse geographies seems to have increased. At the same time\, cultural globalization processes\, at least on the surface\, also seem to have brought about a certain homogenization of practices and imaginaries. Climate change\, war\, biodiversity loss\, social polarization\, pollution\, persistent social inequalities\, and more such devastating circumstances\, have led many to speak of “polycrisis” when describing the state of the world. Mobility sits squarely at the heart of much of what can drive or hinder the polycrisis from unfolding further. What might a closer look at culturally diverse norms and values reveal about potential future practices and imaginaries of sustainable and just mobility? What potentials and pitfalls does it bring with it? This contribution looks at streets as examples of ways that cultural diversity expresses itself spatially and in relation to mobility. Based on a historical and literature review of the origins\, uses and imaginaries of streets\, as well as three expert interviews\, and a search through songs and the music scene\, and literary quotes\, the contribution identifies seven themes around which streets have been and can be understood. Finally\, the concept of “Third Cultures” is proposed as a way to explore thinking otherwise towards avenues for creative\, locally meaningful possibilities by which streets can contribute to locally relevant\, just\, and sustainable mobility practices. \n  URL:https://mobileworlds.online/nb/event/the-future-design-of-streets-conference-mobileworlds-will-present/ CATEGORIES:Conference END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Oslo:20250625T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Oslo:20250625T133000 DTSTAMP:20260405T054019 CREATED:20250613T103717Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250613T142239Z UID:3538-1750849200-1750858200@mobileworlds.online SUMMARY:ISEE Degrowth - Kim will speak at roundtable on planning\, degrowth\, and anti-colonial change DESCRIPTION:Individual practices are important\, but much more systemic change is needed for historically rooted and economically-justified social and environmental injustices and extractions to be truly addressed. The intertwined topics of planning\, degrowth\, and anti-colonial change are key “places” where this can and must be done. This will also have implications for how mobilities are practiced and planned in the future\, and which mobility cultures are embraced\, what this will look like\, and who will be making decisions\, etc. Some of my previous work has discussed alternative mobility values under part of this lens (e.g. Mobility values article\, and Chapter on Clumsy Mobility Solutions in Post-Growth Planning Book) and the work for MobileWorlds is also preoccupied with the greater implications of changing mobility cultures\, be it through individual shifts in perspectives\, but also through shifts in planning practices\, perceptions\, imaginaries and cultures. Last but not least\, Kim’s experiences crossing Global North and Global South contexts in both work and personal lives provides additional insight for the anti-colonial discussion\, which she is personally passionate about. \nTo further develop and discuss some of these ideas\, Kim will be a speaker at a hybrid special session of the combined 18th Conference of the International Society for Ecological Economics and 11th International Degrowth Conference. The session is entitled “Radical Planning and the path to Degrowth: Mobilising Urban Planners for an Anti-Colonial Transition” and organized by Karen Waneska de Jesus and Jin Xue (both from the Norwegian University of Life Sciences – NMBU
).\n \n  URL:https://mobileworlds.online/nb/event/isee-degrowth-kim-will-speak-at-roundtable-on-planning-degrowth-and-anti-colonial-change/ CATEGORIES:Conference END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Oslo:20250506T080000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Oslo:20250509T170000 DTSTAMP:20260405T054019 CREATED:20250131T115638Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250422T115310Z UID:2153-1746518400-1746810000@mobileworlds.online SUMMARY:Regional Studies Association Conference - MobileWorlds will present DESCRIPTION:The Regional Studies Association will host its 2025 Conference in Porto\, Portugal in May!

What mode of transport is your favourite\, and why? How do you wish this could be different in the future? This workshop takes a hands-on\, creative approach to explore mobility practices through the lens of culture – based on a set of norms and values that we identify with\, for instance based on nationality\, region\, or subgroup (e.g. environmentalist\, academic\, skater\, etc.). It begins with an introspective\, individual part (which can remain private)\, and then moves on to a group creation and discussion about various cultures coming together within individuals and between individuals and groups. The workshop uses drawing\, collage\, plasticine\, and other such methods to stimulate out-of-the-box engagement with the topic. The workshop is part of a series of such events carried out for the Mobile Worlds project and adjusted for diverse age-groups and backgrounds. See https://mobileworlds.online for more information. \nThe workshop will be facilitated in English\, but group discussions may also be had in any other language\, if preferred. It will take place on 9 November 2024\, in Matosinhos\, near Brito Capelo Metro station – details shared upon registration. Child-friendly snacks\, coffee\, tea and juice will be provided. \nPlease sign up via Eventbrite\, here. Make sure to select the correct date and number of participants.

The workshop takes a hands-on\, creative approach to explore mobility practices through the lens of culture – based on a set of norms and values that we identify with\, for instance based on nationality\, region\, or subgroup (e.g. environmentalist\, academic\, skater\, etc.). It begins with an introspective\, individual part (which can remain private)\, and then moves on to a group creation and discussion about various cultures coming together within individuals and between individuals and groups\, and looking for take-aways for the context of planners. \nThe workshop uses drawing\, collage\, plasticine\, and other such methods to stimulate out-of-the-box engagement with the topic. The workshop is part of a series of such events carried out for the Mobile Worlds project and adjusted for diverse age-groups and backgrounds. See https://mobileworlds.online for more information. \nDuring the workshop\, planners will be able to: \n\nPlayfully engage with your own mobility experiences\nPlayfully and reflectively engage with what are ideal future mobilities\nHave a rare moment for introspection\nHave time to reflect on challenges and possibilities with your colleagues\n\nFrom the workshop planners will take away\, at least: \n\nA toolkit of new engagement skills\nA refreshed perspective on inclusive and sustainable planning\nA strengthened network with your colleagues for addressing these issues\n\nThe workshop will be facilitated in English and Norwegian\, but group discussions may also be had in Norwegian\, if preferred. It will take place on 16 October from 11.00 to 14.00 (11-12 lunch)\, at the HVL Kronstad Campus\, in the Global Lounge.

Animals\, Plants\, Machines: The Search for a Planetary Intelligence” by James Bridle. We zoom in especially to the questions of categorization in binaries and generalization as key objectives of academic research\, why it might be interesting to transcend these objectives\, and hints to how we might do so. The Mobile Worlds workshops done so far and the idea behind them serves as inspiration here as well. \nI hope to see you there\, and am happy as always to discuss and think alongside others!

How would you like to travel to school or work if you could choose? This workshop takes a hands-on\, creative approach to explore mobility practices through the lens of culture – based on a set of norms and values that we identify with\, for instance based on nationality\, region\, or subgroup (e.g. environmentalist\, academic\, skater\, etc.). It begins with a more introspective\, individual/family part (which can remain private)\, and then moves on to a group creation and discussion about various cultures coming together within individuals and between individuals and groups. The workshop uses drawing\, collage\, plasticine\, lego\, and other such methods to stimulate out-of-the-box engagement with the topic. The workshop is part of a series of such events carried out for the Mobile Worlds project and adjusted for diverse age-groups and backgrounds. See https://mobileworlds.online for more information. \nThe workshop will be facilitated in English and Portuguese\, but group discussions may also be had in any language you prefer. It will take place on 15 June from 14.30-17.30. Snacks\, coffee\, tea and juice will be provided. \nThis workshop is by direct invitation only. We look forward to welcoming you! \nIf you are interested but have not received an invitation\, please write to: mobileworlds@hvl.no . We can then inform you of upcoming workshops (also some that may not yet be published on the website).

This event will be a debate on the impact of activism done by planning researchers\, and on the role of academia in political developments\, such as recent turns to right-wing voting around the world\, and how these themes might be related. This theme explores the pros and cons of normative research and practice through academia\, action research\, and related processes. It also looks into how such positioning of academia is related to political projects such as those of the European Union\, especially in the areas of\, for instance\, “innovation” and “participation”\, and to right wing political shifts. \nFor this debate\, we have invited: \nErsilia Verlinghieri\, Senior Research Fellow at the Active Travel Academy\, University of Westminster and a Senior Researcher in Urban Mobility at the Transport Studies Unit\, University of Oxford. Since 2012\, her work focuses on developing theoretical and methodological approaches to issues of social and environmental justice in transport. Her research has a specific focus on participatory planning and research methodologies and in analysing the contribution of grassroots actors in reshaping transport policy and planning. Between 2016 – 2020 she was also the Coordinator of the Global Challenges in Transport Programme\, which brings together practitioners\, campaigners\, and academics to discuss the future of transport. + info: Ersilia’s Westminster University profile \nWendy Tan\, Associate Professor at the Department of Civil Engineering and Environmental Sciences\, at the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences in Bergen\, Norway\, and Senior Researcher and Lecturer at the Landscape Architecture and Planning chair at Wageningen University\, The Nethlerands\, brings a decade of experience as an architect\, urban designer\, researcher and planner in Europe and Asia to the discussion. + info: Wendy’s HVL profile \nAntónio Ferreira\, Associate Research Professor at CITTA – Centre for Research on Territory\, Transports and Environment of the University of Porto\, Portugal.

This event will be a debate on how the ideal of comfort affects the realm of thinking\, how much this has to do with physical comfort\, and how much it affects a willingness to change\, or not to chane – both outside and inside our minds. Is there a tendency to stay in our comfort zones even when thinking? We explore this\, as usual\, within the field of planning – a field that in this case has some power to determine the extent to which it makes comfort a priority\, or not. \nFor the debate\, we have invited: \nWendy Tan\, Associate Professor at the Department of Civil Engineering and Environmental Sciences\, at the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences in Bergen\, Norway\, and Senior Researcher and Lecturer at the Landscape Architecture and Planning chair at Wageningen University\, The Nethlerands\, brings a decade of experience as an architect\, urban designer\, researcher and planner in Europe and Asia to the discussion. + info: Wendy’s HVL profile \nAntónio Ferreira\, Associate Research Professor at CITTA – Centre for Research on Territory\, Transports and Environment of the University of Porto\, Portugal.

DESCRIPTION:This event will be a debate on the extent to which academic work (labelled as “scientific”) should engage more in artistic methodologies\, artistic output\, artistic engagement of audiences or artistic philosophies\, and other alternative approaches\, and do these relate to the idea of “scientism”. An important underlying assumption is that artistic methods might be more creative and therefore incentivise change – however\, this is an untested hypothesis as far as we are aware. We will discuss how art can be used as a process for engaging diverse publics in planning\, what art even means in such a context\, what its role for inducing ‘change’ is\, and how far-reaching the role of art in planning can and should be. \nFor the debate\, we have invited: \nSofia Wiberg\, a researcher at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology\, Stockholm\, Sweden.

It was a large workshop (27 planners) and very fun and creative. The focus was really on thinking out-of-the-box\, rather than coming up with feasible alternative planning\, but this made it especially inspiring for us as researchers\, and it was hopefully an engaging experience for the participants.

This has perhaps been going on for a decade or more\, but interest seems to grow continuously\, perhaps with experimentation gaining more traction\, while innovation is receiving slightly more nuanced treatment. These ideas tend to aim for the encouragement of sustainability transitions\, or other forms of transformation towards more environmentally and socially just futures. This seminar will zoom in on these two concepts from an explicitly critical perspective\, suggesting that\, while both concepts can be highly revealing when studied academically\, both of them can also have very problematic consequences if applied as policies or planning directives. The seminar then uses this critical perspective to explore the idea of ‘thinking otherwise’\, the challenges and potentials this provides\, and possible ways forward. Research findings on innovation\, experimentation and ‘third cultures’ will be shared\, including methodological reflections from the ongoing Mobile Worlds project. See https://mobileworlds.online for more information. \nThe seminar will be preceded by a Mini-Workshop. Please see Events page for more information and registration. \nPlease feel free to simply show up to the seminar.
