The mobilities lab supports the development of mobile, creative and inventive research methods, through workshops, projects, seminars and our equipment loan facility. We publish our experiments with mobile methods on this website, as we grapple with how to research the often fleeting, messy, ephemeral, temporal, sensory, static, stuck, interrupted and ongoing nature of mobilities.
