CONFERENCE THEME

MOBILITIES AND INEQUALITIES: SHIFTING CONTEXTS;

CHANGING PARADIGMS

We live in times that are marked by great mobility on one hand, and growing inequality on the other.
The two are closely linked but marked by complex interplay. The world seems to be on the move- in
buses, trains, airplanes, ships, boats, cycles, on foot, as we step into a world of Augmented Reality
(AR) / Virtual Reality (VR) / Mixed Reality (MR). In our everyday lives we ‘see’ billboards and
advertisements with glossy images of new roads, flyovers, speeding cars, bullet trains, glittering
airports, and flamboyant connectivity devices. We may encounter these images physically or consume
them digitally as we sit stationary with our mobile phones and laptops. Materials are on the move too -
openly involving just-in-time delivery as components of manufactured goods or food ‘air freighted’ to
tables across oceans and sometimes clandestinely, as in the movements of drugs, guns, cigarettes,
alcohol, pirated products or people. As teachers, researchers and students we are acutely aware of
mobility of ideas.

Mobility unavoidably travels with its obverse i.e., its lack: clogged or broken networks, debarred entry,
denied asylum, stalled or slowed movement, some of which are indicative of the inequalities that
structure the world. All mobilities however do not receive the same attention in either public discourse
or academic analysis. Movements of migrants, labour, refugees and asylum seekers are either invisible
in popular media or reported as an unfortunate aberration to the larger and happier story of mobilities.
A dramatic instance of this uneven representation was the heart wrenching visuals of one of the most
significant intra-national migrations globally of contemporary times: India’s informal sector workers,
who were displaced overnight due to lockdowns and job losses walking back from towns and cities to
their villages during COVID-19. Undoubtedly, this massive occurrence of mobility, and the lack of it,
has brought the complex interplay of inequalities and mobilities in sharp focus. Mobility justice is an
indicative critical framework that need looking into.
The 50th AISC thus calls into focus for sociologists, in India and globally, to reflect on these
significant questions of how mobilities and inequalities are inextricably linked, how the nature of this
relationship changes in different contexts, and how different theoretical frameworks and paradigms
offer both new ways of understanding and opens up new objects of inquiry. Sociology has a long-
standing interest in exploring how social mobility and inequality play out.

In India inequalities based on gender, caste, class and religious communities have been defined by
restrictions to both spatial and social mobilities. Segregation and ghettoization define India’s sprawling
urban spaces. Contemporary urban India has seen segregation in a new avatar in what are called ‘gated
communities’. Villages of course have always seen a near-perfect spatial segregation of residential
space by caste and religion. Introductory sociology textbooks have immortalized spatial segregation as
a constitutive feature of social life in agrarian India. Feminist sociologists have shown how gender
becomes key in determining access to space. Households and public spaces have been structured by
organizing principles of society such as race, class, caste, tribe and gender. Cultural and linguistic
groups have also experienced varying mobilities often leading to inequalities within contemporary
society.
Fundamental to the social sciences and sociology is the understanding that neither mobilities nor
inequalities are natural, self-propelled phenomena. Historically policy interventions had reduced
inequality greatly until reaching the highest level of equality in the global north around 1950. Policies
have also led to accelerated social mobility, new aspirations and desires; but often also deepened
inequalities. The last decades have seen a decline in social mobility in many societies including
countries such as the United States of America. India which is one of the world’s largest economies
measure poorly so far as per capita Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is concerned. States have
intervened to address this in many cases but fallen short. The Conference intends to engage with the
limits and possibilities of policy making.

In a technology (now digital) driven world an urgent need exists to explore the deep relationship
between technology and society- both in terms of access and experience. While unequal access is
important in an increasingly unequal world, we also must understand the ways that technologies of
movements enable new ways of experiencing, for instance looking at the ‘moving’ landscape in a car
or now virtually. Or the sensory experience of food for migrants' homemaking, women’s food memory
and its association with cultural identity. The body and the senses therefore become central in the
analysis of mobilities.

It has been argued that in the global north the new mobilities paradigm questioned the sedentarism of
dominant sociological theories; and emphasised that all places are tied into at least thin networks of
connections that stretch beyond each place.
For India, the colonial experience and anti-
colonial writings including Indian
sociologists reflect acute awareness of the
connected, unequal and exploitative nature
of colonial capitalism. This offers a
vantage point to theorise mobilities and
inequalities from the global south.
The Conference looks forward to empirical and theoretical papers on a range of themes. Some of the
themes that the Conference would like to explore are:

Development, Inequalities and Mobilities

Migration, Mobilities and Politics
Transnationalism
Mobilities through the Postcolonial lens
Methodologies for Research
States and State Policies
Social Class Mobilities; Class, Race, Caste, Tribe, Gender, Sexualities
