Abstract

In this paper, we take seriously where we teach mobilities from and why that matters. ‘Where from?’ asks vital questions about how teaching and learning in mobilities are located in various traditions, spaces and bodies that shape knowledges co-produced in the classroom, application beyond it, and the future of the field more widely. Asking ‘where from?’ helps identify how our mobilities pedagogies are situated and the perspectives they emphasise and those they overlook. In this paper, we reflect on the creation and evolution of a mobilities course and confront its ‘where-ing’ in four ways, exploring the disciplinary, institutional, positionality and spatial influences on our pedagogies. We explore why these matter, strategies for negotiating them, and why asking ‘where from?’ is key for anyone teaching mobilities.
