Description
Since the publication of its first volume in 2009, the Yearbook of the International Association for the History of Transport, Traffic and Mobility (T2M) has published review articles by 63 scholars working in all six populated continents. Their studies of scholarship cover 20 countries and review themes of historical mobility studies that have not received sufficient attention elsewhere. Readers will find reviews not only of scholarship centering on vehicles such as planes, trains and automobiles, but also on less prominent topics in mobility history, such as pedestrians, bicyclists, international mobility policy, gender and mobility, carpooling, mobility and social exclusion, and tourism. The present volume includes articles reviewing scholarship from four countries not represented in previous Yearbooks (Colombia, France, Portugal and Sweden) and a new thematic article (on car sounds). Following a precedent established last year, this volume offers readers a close reflection on a classic study in mobility history, Wolfgang Schivelbusch’s The Railway Journey (1977). Peter Norton is assistant professor in the history of technology at the University of Virginia. Gijs Mom is associate professor in History of Technology & Mobility History at Eindhoven University of Technology, and Programme Director for Mobility History. He is the founder of the European Centre for Mobility Documentation (ECMD) and a cofounder of T2M. Liz Millward is associate professor of Women’s and Gender Studies at the University of Manitoba. Her interests are in the history and geography of women’s spaces, with a particular focus on the role of transportation and mobility in the development and spread of feminist community. Mathieu Flonneau is assistant professor of contemporary history at Université Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne, IRICE-CRHI. He is director of studies in the Erasmus- Mundus program TPTI and teaches mobility history at Institut de Sciences Politiques in Paris.
