In the past few years, both mobility studies and pandemic studies have witnessed a spurt in the scholarship on these two subjects, often in interconnected ways. While several factors like economy, labour, health, gender, media, to name a few, have traditionally informed the trajectories in migration research, interest in pandemics as one of the defining premises for examining mobilities at large gathered momentum only with the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. That way, the coronavirus pandemic could be considered as the first pandemic in human history documenting the pathways and outcome of human mobility impacted by the contagion. In the light of this, while the scope of this edited volume is not restricted to the coronavirus pandemic, Covid-19 definitely draws attention and remains the dominant point of reference.

In the light of these contexts:

 We invite contributions that speak to at least one of the clusters.

 Submissions must be in English and between 5000-7000 words.

 Both single authorship and co-authored submissions are welcome.

 All submissions must be original and not under parallel consideration elsewhere.

 For abstract submission, please submit 250 words abstract including a title, your affiliation and contact.

 Citation style for all submissions: APA.

 Email for all correspondence: [email protected] Based on the submissions, we will convene a workshop in Summer, 2025 to present and discuss the full papers and related research ideas. The exact time and venue of the workshop will be published later.
