Mobilities, everyday life and social transformation - Reading David Bissell's 'Transit Life': Panel discussion

This panel discussion will explore themes of mobllity, everyday life and social transformation. Starting out from questions and provocations raised by David Bissell's recently published book, 'Transit life: How Commuting Is Transforming Our Cities', this session opens up a space for thinking about how we might research and write about ordinary life in the city differently. Through a focus on the narrations and reflections on everyday journeys in 'Transit Life', the session will explore how we sense, perceive, and write about different kinds of subtle transformations that make up everyday life. Through insights from panellists, and reflections on their own research practices, it will explore how we might become differently attuned to mobile events and encounters of oily life; how we might develop social and cultural geographical theories of movement in new directions; how we might become differently invested in the sorts of research we do; and how we become differently responsible lo the events and encounters that we experience.
