Abstract: Mobility is deeply linked to the way we live time, construct our = life trajectories, revisit our past, and imagine the future. Our experience= of time can have an impact on the way we make sense of ourselves as (im)mo= bile people, how we practice movement and engage with others in mobility. A= t the same time, mobility is defined by social, material and physical circu= mstances that make movement (im)possible, and that can put the individual i= n a vulnerable position, where the resources for, and capacity and potentia= l to, move come to be missing. How do the experience and practice of time (= e.g., time-pass and wait, transitions and ruptures in the life-course, agei= ng, imagination of future, memory) intertwine with those social, (im)materi= al and physical vulnerabilities both hindering and resulting from mobility?= We invite presentations that focus on different (im)mobilities (including,= but not limited to, tourism, migration, refugee migration and asylum-seeki= ng, international education, practices of cycling and other transport, sett= lement in migration). They should explore the interplay between time, (im)m= obility and vulnerability, in particular how the experience and practice of= time affect or are affected by a person=92s (in)capacity and potentiality = to move, with regard to (but not limited to) the following issues: Meanings= and practices of =93integration=94 in migration; Inter-ethnic relations, b= oundary processes, practices and meanings of cosmopolitanism; Gender and fa= mily relations; The precarization of work, unemployment and the digital eco= nomy; Inequalities linked to health and livelihood.
