PhD course in Copenhagen: Cycling and Society

Tuesday, August 30th, 2011

I am participating in Copenhagen University’s upcoming PhD course in Cycling and Society in November-December this year. As part of the week’s events, current plans are for a ‘sociology day’ run by Dave Horton and I, involving presentations, fieldwork, and workshop discussions. I’m really looking forward to the event – and also hoping it will be a good chance for me to develop some of the ideas and activities that will form part of the new MSc course in Transport, Sustainability, and Society , which we’ll be running here at UEL in September 2012.

Also while I’m in Denmark, I’ll be participating in a couple of seminars run by C-MUS (the Centre for Mobility Studies) at Aalborg. Details of one of them here .
