Description

Nurturing Mobilities employs new empirical material and an innovative theoretical framing to bring new clarity to why families travel today – and what happens when they do. The authors argue that an imperative to ‘think with mobility’ and to ‘aspire to be mobile’ shapes identities, futures, and family practices. Drawing on data that examines family travel practices – typically short-term trips – across the working-, middle-, and globally mobile middle-classes, Nurturing Mobilities describes how families travel, why they travel, and the role young family members play in curating family travel. Vitally, it examines the two biggest contemporary issues in global mobility: COVID-19 and climate change. How has COVID-19 changed travel motivations in a world beset by lockdowns and diminished finances? How are concerns around climate change, and engagements with global citizenship education, changing family travel practices? Nurturing Mobilities illuminates new ways in which social class divergence is forged through movements across borders. The authors’ theoretically inter-disciplinary approach delivers a full analysis of the apparently divergent processes that differentiate family travel along social class lines, yet also allow travel to play a core role in social mobility. This book is a vital resource for scholars and students studying mobility, globalisation, social class, and climate change engagement.

Author Biography:

Claire Maxwell is a professor at sociology at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Her research has focused on the ways the internationalisation of education has shaped education systems and how elite forms of provision are being developed and embedded around the world. A second focus has been on the lives of globally mobile professionals and their families, examining school choice, identities and family practices. Miri Yemini is a comparative education scholar at Tel Aviv University, Israel, with interests in internationalisation of education in schools and higher education, global citizenship education, and education in conflict-ridden societies, with a particular focus on the role of mobility in educational experiences. Dr. Yemini is an active member of CIES, CESE and BAICE and she is a President Elect for the Israeli Comparative Education Society. Katrine Mygind Bach holds a Masters in Global Development and a Bachelor degree in Sociology from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Previously, she spent several years in India working in the field of rural development. Her research focuses on the intersection between social and environmental sustainability, and the role of climate governance in these processes.
