Lead organiser: Imagining and Experiencing Hospitalities in a Mobile World, Edinburgh Napier University, May 2023
2023 - 2023

Recognition Type	Conference Organising Activity
Description	'Imagining and Experiencing Hospitalities in a Mobile World’ was a one-day international research symposium, which brought together researchers and practitioners with interest and expertise in the connected areas of ‘mobilities’ and ‘hospitalities’ . The plural forms demonstrate our broad and inclusive understanding of both terms, recognising that people are on the move for many different reasons, and that these diverse ‘mobilities’ necessitate and create diverse ‘hospitalities’, as ‘hosts’ and ‘guests’ interact and negotiate their roles, identities, and relations in diverse geographical, cultural, linguistic, social, and political contexts. Building on the work of Noel B. Salazar (2011) on ‘the power of imagination in transnational mobilities’, we were also keen to explore how ‘imaginaries’ of people, places, cultures, and movement shape lived experiences of hospitalities, both for those ‘on the move’, and for those they encounter. 18 papers were presented at the symposium focussing on the idea and practice of 'hospitality' in contexts of migration and asylum, education, and travel and tourism. Keynote presentations were given by Professor Alison Phipps (UNESCO Chair in Refugee Integration through Languages and the Arts at the University of Glasgow) and Dr Cristina Ros i Sole (Senior Lecturer in Education at Goldsmiths, University of London). The symposium was funded by RIE's 'Researcher Development Fund'.
