Announcing the new T2M.org website and Extended March 31st Call for Papers for the 2016 T²M Conference, Mobilities: Space of Flows and Friction, in Mexico City.

The International Association for the History of Transport, Traffic and Mobility (T²M) invites you to visit our completely redesigned website which offers a gateway to our new online Newsletter and lower membership prices including discounted access to journals including the Journal of Transport History (Sage), Transfers: Interdisciplinary Journal of Mobility Studies (Berghahn), and Mobilities (Taylor & Francis). Join today and also consider attending our exciting 2016 conference!

We have extended the deadline to March 31st for our Call for Papers for the 2016 T²M Conference - Mobilities: Space of Flows and Friction. We invite scholars of mobility, transport, tourism, migration, media, and urban planning and design, as well as PhD students, museum professionals, and artists to participate in a three-day conference to be held in the beautiful Quinta Colorada, within Chapultepec Park, in Mexico City, October 27th-30th, 2016. PhD students and applicants from lower-income countries can apply for a limited number of travel bursaries of up to 300 Euros, which will be awarded on a competitive basis.

The overarching topic "Mobilities: Spaces of Flows and Friction” aims to highlight the relationships between mobility and space, its temporality and production. We hope to trigger new debates on space, time, and mobility, especially considering that our city venue itself will be a challenging, multilayered, massive and over-congested network of flows. Mexico City with its 24+ million inhabitants, besides being one of the largest cities in the world, is also one of the busiest transportation hives of the planet.

Keynote speakers:
Diane Davis (Harvard Graduate School of Design)
Guillermo Giucci (Brazil, author of The Cultural Life of the Automobile)
Debbie Douglas (MIT Museum Curator)
