Peter Adey is a professor of Geography at the Royal Holloway University of London. His work lies at the intersection between space, security and mobility, and Cultural and Political Geography. He is a former Chair of the Social and Cultural Geography Research Group, one of the largest research groups of the Royal Geographical Society. In 2011 he was awarded a Philip Leverhulme Prize for his contributions to Human Geography. Much of his research has revolved around the putative ‘new mobilities paradigm’, mobility futures and infrastructures.
In this presentation Peter Adey explores evacuation as a ‘name’, ‘concept’ and a ‘practice’ in order to make sense of particular forms of emergency mobility that can refuse easy categorisation, and have often surpassed disciplinary boundaries and technical fields.
