Colloque LIVES : « Mobility in the life course » les 5 & 6 novembre 2024 – Genève
The Swiss Centre of Expertise in Life Course Research (LIVES) and the nccr – on the move hold an international conference at the University of Geneva, Switzerland, on 5-6 November 2024 on the topic :
Mobility in the life course
The early 21st century is marked by novel forms of mobility encompassing migration, family, career and social mobility. Yet, individual mobility encounters considerable resistance: international migrations face regulations that control movement across national borders; new forms of family mobility clash with traditional norms; novel career paths conflict with costly migration or family changes; while social mobility, especially intergenerational mobility, remains often trapped by institutions such as educational systems.
To shed light on evolving forms of mobility, this conference brings together two perspectives developed within the National Centers of Competence in Research (NCCR): the life course perspective (Centre LIVES, Lausanne and Geneva) and the Migration-Mobility Nexus (nccr – on the move, Neuchâtel).
We welcome papers and posters that address issues linked to migration and other forms of mobility in the life course (e.g. social, family, professional, educational). We are particularly interested in submissions that use innovative methods and novel data.
