PANELS: P080 - Pacing Mobilities: a consideration of shifts in the timing, intensity, tempo and duration of mobility [ANTHROMOB] https://nomadit.co.uk/easa/easa2018/conferencesuite.php/panels/6321

Convenors: Noel B. Salazar (University of Leuven), Vered Amit
(Concordia University)Discussant Karen Fog Olwig (University of Copenhagen), Karsten Paerregaard (University of Gothenburg)
In this panel, we want to extend the temporal interrogation of
particular forms and experiences of mobility to consider more
fully the dimensions involved in the 'pacing' of movement,
including aspects such as timing, duration, frequency, intensity
and scope.P081 - Mobilising policies: indolence, zealousness, discretionality and beyond [ANTHROMOB] https://nomadit.co.uk/easa/easa2018/conferencesuite.php/panels/6438
Location Aula Magna-Kungsstenen Date and Start Time 16 Aug, 2018 at 09:00 Sessions 2
Convenors: Jérémie Voirol (Graduate Institute ), Diego
Valdivieso (The University of Manchester), Juan del Nido
(University of Manchester)
Drawing on mobility beyond its spatial connotations and thinking
broadly of policy, authority and governance, this panel studies
how policies organising flows of people, information or
resources are themselves mobilised, created, invoked or
subverted by those responsible for their application.P082 - Moving the goods: maritime mobility and logistics labour [ANTHROMOB] https://nomadit.co.uk/easa/easa2018/conferencesuite.php/panels/6467

Convenors: Hege Leivestad (Stockholm University), Johanna
Markkula (Stanford University)Chair Hege Leivestad Discussant Gustav Peebles (The New School)
Through complex systems of logistics, commodities are moved overseas following a "just-in-time" logic. This panel extends the anthropological research on mobility by asking how a focus on maritime logistics, infrastructures and labour can contribute to our understandings of the global economy.

Michael Anyadike-Danes (University of Warwick)Building on the notion of locality as a socially produced, relational process, this panel explores how those leading mobile lives practice both place-making and community-making, examining the role played by digital technologies and social media.

Convenors: Anna Horolets (University of Warsaw), Unnur Dís
Skaptadóttir (University of Iceland)Discussant Valerio Simoni (The Graduate Institute, Geneva)
We invite paper proposals that consider migration as a moral practice, focus on the relation between mobility and migrants' imaginaries of 'good life' in any stage, context or type of migratory situation, and discuss how the ideas of what is 'good' are informed by mobility in contemporary societies.
