Speeding up and spreading out? Practices, narratives and metrics of new mob= ility A two-day hybrid workshop for intensive collective reflection on conceptual= and methodological approaches to the temporalities and spatialities of tra= nsitions to new and sustainable mobilities. Dates and venue: 12-13 June 2023, University of Stavanger, Norway Workshop organizers: Aleksandra Lis-Plesi=F1ska, Nathalie Ortar and Siddhar= th Sareen Workshop concept: Socio-technical transitions have diverse temporalities and spatialities. Th= ey take the form of different practices. Stakeholders, politicians and resi= dents make choices based on the multiple scales and temporalities through w= hich their everyday practices are constituted and their futures imagined an= d anticipated, whether desirously, fearfully, or ambiguously. Temporalities= and spatialities of transitions, and contingent future mobilities, thus de= pend on local constellations of actors and their practices (communities of = practice), infrastructural configurations, cultures of energy consumption, = and trans-local impetuses. These dynamics entail negotiation in the contest= ed space between bold, ambitious targets, and mundane practices of incremen= tal change as vehicles for inertial incumbent interests. Mindful of the reliance of mobility transitions on geographical, economic a= nd socio-technical drivers, this workshop invites contributions to an empir= ical, conceptual and methodological discussion about their temporalities an= d spatialities. We aim to unpack: (1) the spatially uneven distribution of = new mobility practices, and (2) the navigation of place-based transition te= mporalities. We draw the attention of participants to the role of metrics,= narratives and practices as means to engage with temporalities within and = across empirical contexts. We invite contributions that deal with the following themes, broadly constr= ued:

• What social practices are emergent in relation to new mobility option= s in diverse geographies? In what ways are evolving mobility practices and = infrastructures mutually constitutive?
• What market disruptions are underway in automobility? Which actors co= nstruct and define this development and the metrical contours of related de= bates on electric mobility?
• In what ways do digitalisation and low-carbon energy transitions inte= rsect in shaping mobility trends, practices and infrastructural priorities = over time?
• Where are relationships between innovation and regulation unfolding t= o shape new mobility markets? How do these relationships interplay with tem= poralities of mobility transitions?
• How are transition metrics selected and leveraged to negotiate betwee= n distal temporal goals and proximal embedded practices and politics? What = insight do they yield on mobility futures?
• Which major narrative frames of mobility transition temporalities are= promoted, by whom, and at what spatial scales? How do these work on local = transition dynamics and vice versa?

Workshop goals: The workshop aims to provide space for an intensive discussion of empirical= cases as well as of conceptual and methodological approaches to studying t= emporalities of mobility transitions. Outputs will take the shape of a spec= ial issue on temporalities of mobility transition in a reputed journal.

Workshop format:

• Extended abstracts (1,000 words including references) are requested b= y 31 January 2023 with decisions by 10 February 2023. Email submissions as = a PDF file to alis@amu.edu.pl, siddharth.sareen@uis= .no and nathalie.ortar@entpe.fr
• Short draft papers (5,000 words including references) are expected by= 31 March 2023. These will be pre-circulated among confirmed workshop parti= cipants by 17 April 2023. Assigned discussants will be asked to share comme= nts with authors by 8 May 2023, along with editorial feedback. Authors will= be offered a chance to submit revised full-length manuscripts by 31 May wh= ich will be circulated with the final workshop programme on 2 June 2023.
• Papers will be workshopped with comments from the convenors and assig= ned discussants during 12-13 June 2023 in person in Stavanger, Norway, with= a virtual participation option. We aim to secure a special issue with a re= puted journal with the aim of submitting updated full manuscripts shortly a= fter the workshop, by 31 July 2023.
• Participants will be offered lunches on both workshop dates and a for= mal workshop dinner on 12 June 2023 free of charge, but must cover travel a= nd accommodation costs.
