Travelling Research in a trans-national world -- Clayton

Published: 9 July 2008

Are your ideas stuck in one place?
How do ideas travel?
How can you ensure your ideas will travel?

They will answer key questions, showing how travel has impacted on their ideas and on the movement of theory in their field while also meditating on travelling research and researchers in global geographies of knowledge and power.
