When it comes to migration, there is no level playing field. Some
people are privileged, advantaged, and supported and others are
marginalised, persecuted, and traumatised. The extension of the
rights and equalities for which many people advocate, and provision
of other extrinsic conditions are insufficient for wellbeing. This
work asks: what is sufficient? What is it that people do—and can
do—to change their experience from suffering to wellbeing when
handling challenges of migration and other mobilities? What helps
people when they are migrating? What have migrants experienced and
learned that could be useful to others facing challenges of
mobility and change? How can this learning be applied to promote
greater social wellbeing and care of environments, in an
increasingly mobile world? Mobilities of Self and Place documents
rich conversations with regular migrants and refugees to critically
consider migration history, human rights, place, self, and
mobilities studies. The work explores ontological and
epistemological questions of sense of self, sense of place,
identity and agency. Mahni Dugan helps us understand how the
relationship between sense of place and sense of self affects the
ability of migrants to relocate with wellbeing. The movement from
global to local, social to personal, intellectual to experiential
offers a broad societal understanding of the phenomena and
challenges of contemporary mobilities.
