Drawing on data that examines family travel practices - typically short-term trips - across the working-, middle-, and globally mobile middle-classes, Nurturing Mobilities describes how families travel, why they travel, and the role young family members play in curating family travel. Vitally, it examines the two biggest contemporary issues in global mobility: COVID-19 and climate change. How has COVID-19 changed travel motivations in a world beset by lockdowns and diminished finances? How are concerns around climate change, and engagements with global citizenship education, changing family travel practices?
Nurturing Mobilities illuminates new ways in which social class divergence is forged through movements across borders. The authors' theoretically inter-disciplinary approach delivers a full analysis of the apparently divergent processes that differentiate family travel along social class lines, yet also allow travel to play a core role in social mobility. This book is a vital resource for scholars and students studying mobility, globalisation, social class, and climate change engagement.
Reviews / Votes
"This is a highly innovative book, which explores the nature and impact of family travel, focussing particularly on how it influences the identities and 'future-making projects' of both families and individuals. Drawing on data from parents and young people, and including the perspectives of those who reject travel (for environmental reasons) as well as those who travel a lot, the book engages with important debates that cut across several disciplines - including the extent to which such practices contribute to social differentiation, how mobility is conceptualised, and the role of travel within broader understandings of parenting. It is also international in its orientation, and will thus be of significant interest to researchers in many different national contexts." Rachel Brooks FAcSS, Professor of Sociology, University of Surrey, UK"This is a thought-provoking book on how mobility shapes individuals. By zooming into the experiences of family travel, the book offers engaging accounts of the links between the ideas of mobility and social class. Highly recommended for sociologists of education and social scientists more broadly." Maia Chankseliani, Associate Professor of Comparative and International Education, University of Oxford, UK
"Maxwell, Yemini and Bach offer a rigorous and thoughtful journey into some of the uncharted aspects of mobility, by exploring family travel and its nuanced links with parenting, family-making practices, strategies of capital accumulation and class differentiations." Jason Beech, Senior Lecturer in Education Policy, Monash University, Australia
