DESCRIPTION:Academic mobility has been long regarded as the epitome of exc
 ellence. Yet not only the rise of far-right governments threatening migran
 t population and academic freedom\, but also the idealisation of mobility 
 rooted in the human capital approach\, and narrow definitions of migration
  based solely on border crossing or nationality\, underscore the urgent ne
 ed for novel conceptualisations of mobility – beyond and within the nati
 on state.\n\nIn this webinar\, I discuss two aspects. First\, at a concept
 ual level\, I present the ‘Critical Mobilities Heuristic’ and discuss 
 its four lenses\, focusing on: (1) broader definitional and normative aspe
 cts\; (2) the construction of the academic subject and the enactments of (
 im)mobility\; (3) the temporal and processual nature of (im)mobility\; and
  (4) the importance of a methodological stance that is sensitive to partic
 ipants perspectives and context. Second\, I explain the application of the
  heuristic and how I constructed the figure of the (im)mobile academic in 
 a research project exploring the dissimilar experiences of academics in en
 acting local and international research collaboration at Centres of Excell
 ence in the Social Sciences and Humanities (see 10.1111/hequ.70027).\n\nI 
 conclude the presentation by reflecting on the broader implications of ret
 hinking migration\, beyond the exclusionary categories of ‘us’ and ‘
 them’\, in the pursuit of a more inclusive society and the protection of
  democracy.\nSpeakers:\nLautaro Vilches
