This special issue has been published in the international, peer-reviewed journal Mobilities in August 2019. It started with a workshop which was convened by Delf Rothe and Christiane Fröhlich at the University of Hamburg, Germany, in 2017, bringing together established thinkers of the Anthropocene with critical climate migration scholars. Under the title of “Anthropocene Mobilities: The Politics of Movement in an Age of Change”, the event was a collective reflection upon the question of how the notion of the Anthropocene could enrich our understanding of migration and mobility. The contributors to this special issue all provide preliminary and quite distinctive answers to this question, as is indicated by the table of contents below. If you want to get a feeling for the discussions we had at the workshop, you can watch this video.
