Moving Natures

Mobility – the movement of people, things, and ideas – is a key factor in the way Canadians perceive and interact with their country. Crossing Canada’s diverse regions and spanning the close of the age of sail to the contemporary era of just-on-time delivery, this thought-provoking collection explores the intersections of environmental and mobility history

Covering the construction of mobility technologies – from sailing ships to subways – and the use of those technologies by people as venues for sport, for leisure, and for pleasure travel, this thought-provoking collection complicates and unpacks established narratives with interdisciplinary perspectives to reimagine the interconnected roles of mobility and the environment
