T2M 21st Annual Conference Report

  Associate Professor Jinhyoung Lee, Conference Programme Committee Member   The 21st Annual Conference of the International Association for the History of Transport, Traffic and Mobility (T2M) was held at Konkuk University, Seoul, South Korea, 25-28 October 2023, in conjunction with the 2023 Global Mobility Humanities Conference. Thanks to its hybrid format, the Conference brought together over 130 scholars, both in person and online, including participants from the Lancaster Hub (Lancaster University), from around the globe and from different academic backgrounds. Under the theme ‘Mobilities, Aesthetics and Ethics’, the Conference featured 28 sessions on a range of topics that addressed issues of mobilities in relation to (kin)ethics and/or aesthetics, as well as together with poetics, history, media, politics, transport, technology, infrastructure, automobility, cycling, planning and design, orientalism, colonialism, and climate change. Two keynote lectures by Gijs Mom and Sireesha Telugu respectively addressed ‘new mobility studies’, reflecting on the history of mobilities studies, and ‘the aesthetics and ethics of displacement’, focusing on refugees and repatriates. A plenary panel, with current and past T2M Presidents, Carlos Lopez-Galviz, Hans-Liudger Dienel, Mimi Sheller, and Mathieu Flonneau, discussed the contribution of T2M and Transfers to mobilities studies. Conference participants enjoyed various social events organised during the Conference, including an online art exhibition, learning Buchae-Chum, a tea ceremony, traditional Korean games, and different Korean foods. The Conference allowed scholars to share their ideas and inquiries at the intersection of mobilities studies and the humanities, transcending the conventional divide between the social sciences and the humanities and the arts. Some notable conference statistics:
  • The Conference was attended by 133 (including participants from the Lancaster Hub)
  • Of these, there were 76 in-person participants and 57 online participants
