On Monday 17 July, CeMoRe hosted a colloquium to celebrate the Centre\u2019s twentieth anniversary. It was a memorable event – both celebratory and sad – as it also marked the retirement of two of CeMoRe\u2019s longest-serving colleagues: Monika Buscher (who was director 2015-2020) and Pennie Drinkall who was the Centre\u2019s administrator from its inception in 2003 and has been Editor-in-Chief of the Mobilities <\/em>journal since 2006. <\/p>\n The day began with seven short talks from CeMoRe\u2019s past and present Directors and Co-Directors [see below for link to recording] followed ,in the afternoon, by an Early Career Researcher Workshop. The participation of the ECRs was made possible by five travel bursaries funded by a generous personal gift by Centre Co-Directors, James Faulconbridge and the UKRI South Korea Connections Grant (\u2018Connecting Mobilities\u2019) which several members of the Centre have been involved in as CIs. <\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The day ended with Mimi Sheller\u2019s Twentieth Anniversary Lecture entitled\u00a0“Mobility Justice and Climate Reparations: Reflection on 20 Years of Mobilities Research”\u00a0[see below for\u00a0\u00a0link to recording] which was attracted a global online audience of over 100 people.\u00a0\u00a0Mimi was introduced by the new Dean of Faculty, Ed Simpson, who also has a long-standing research interest in mobilities (his book\u00a0Highways to the End of the World<\/em>\u00a0was published in 2022).\u00a0<\/p>\n The colloquium was organised by Prof Lynne Pearce, the Centre\u2019s Acting Director, with support from our administrator, Harriet Phipps, who is also stepping down after three years in the role.<\/p>\n
