The 'mobile turn' in human geography, sociology and cultural
studies has resulted in a hitherto unparalleled focus on the
critical role that mobility plays in conserving and regenerating
society and culture. In this instance, 'mobility' refers not just
to the physical movement of goods and peoples, ideas and symbols;
it can also be analytically applied to the technologies used to
facilitate their movement. One such technology is education, which
has yet to fall the under the purview of the mobility lens -
something that this collection endeavours to redress. Its
contributing authors, drawn from Canada, Australia, the United
States and the United Kingdom, explore salient issues relating to
education and mobility. These include studies of the career
implications for academics of moving across borders; the impact of
university study on prison populations; policy mobility and the
charter school movement; affect theory and policy development in
Canada; educational advertising on Sydney trains and stations; and
the employment mobile approaches to track policy development and
implementation. One notable feature of the mobility turn is the
willingness of its adoptees to explore innovative research methods.
Variously demonstrating the efficacy and cogency of
autoethnography, affect theory, textual ethnography and human
geography for a mobility-empowered education analytics, this
collection is no exception. This book was originally published as a
special issue of Critical Studies in Education.
