/Transient Spaces & Societies_
We do research at the intersections of digitisation, mobilities & urbanisation
What Do We Do?
Digitisation, human mobilities, and urbanisation are major drivers altering spaces and societies from local to global scales. The Transient Spaces & Societies Research Group takes a critical perspective on these cross-sectional themes and scrutinises how social practices and power relations shape them.
We are an interdisciplinary research team based at the Department of Geography at the University of Innsbruck.

????ENRICHING - we had the honour of having @tess_osborne and @philjonesgeog at @uniinnsbruck for a presentation as part of the geoDISKURSE lecture series. After that, our PhD students could engage with their work more deeply in a smaller setting. Thank you for the insights! ???? pic.twitter.com/t3EKBoq02S
