Call for papers for the 3rd Swiss Mobility Conference 19/20th of November 2018 – Lausanne
The Swiss Mobility Conference (SMC) is the result of collaboration between the urban sociology chairs (EPFL) and geography of mobilities (UNIL). The objective of SMC is to provide a place for discussion and debate for researchers in humanities and social sciences working on various forms of mobility.

- theoretical debates (and in particular the contributions of social theories to the study of mobilities)
- methodological innovations (using mobile methods) - public policy and decision making in mobility - regulation of mobility and its tools
- the actors and their logics of action
- the norms and values underlying mobility and social inequality - temporality and spatiality of mobility
