CeMoRe is very proud to share that one of our Associate Directors, Dr Carlos López Galviz, also a Senior Lecturer in Lancaster’s Institute for the Contemporary Arts has been elected as the new President of T2M, the International Association for the History of Transport, Traffic and Mobility.

Founded in 2003, and with over 70 registered members worldwide, T2M is the leading organisation of scholars, practitioners and citizens encouraging and promoting a historically informed understanding of current issues on transport, traffic and mobility.

Speaking about his new, three-year appointment, Dr López Galviz, said: ‘I’m delighted and honoured to be able to lead T2M in the coming years together with an excellent international Executive Committee.

“I will do so together with the T2M Secretary, Dr Jonnet Middleton, who is also based in Lancaster. The appointment is also a recognition of the significant international role of Lancaster academics in the field of mobilities.

“Being elected as T2M’s new president is a great responsibility, not least because of the superb work of my previous and distinguished predecessors.

“My main goal is for T2M to continue to thrive as well as deepen and extend its influence on all topics related to transport and mobility, in particular, those centred on socio-technical transitions.”

The CeMoRe team congratulate Carlos on this excellent achievement.
