We invite articles for the special issue of the journal Human Technology on "New media, mobility and place making". New media currently play a crucial role in the way migrants negotiate their travel routes and establish and maintain relations while moving and settling down. However, new media also influence and relate to various other forms of mobility-and immobility. The special journal issue will explore how new media (mobile phones, smart phones, social media and the internet) use is connected to and relates with mobility and place making. It analyzes how new media influence mobility and the meaning of places. We invite articles which, among other things, can explore new media use and migration, use of new media for social mobility and imagination as well as people's involvements in overlapping digital spheres and frictions that derive from their embeddedness in digital and offline social fields. We welcome articles which are based on empirical research and seek to make a theoretical contribution.

The deadline for manuscripts is the end of September 2018.
