Inscribing Selves

Mobilities are shaped by and transform understandings of self and others.

Description

Mobilities are shaped by and transform understandings of self and others. Through crowd sourced quantitative analysis, surveys, and ethnographic exploration, it explores the social, legal, and epistemological construction of people, places, and processes of socio-political transformation. Included here are questions of xenophobia, transforming gender roles and regulations; and consideration of race, class, ethnicity, and legal status.
