The Academy of Mobility Humanities will host the 2025 Global Mobility Humanities Conference (2025 GMHC: entr’act) on December 5–6, 2025 at Konkuk University, Seoul Campus.
Marking its 6th conference this year, the 2025 GMHC will be held under the theme: “Mobility Infrastructures of Humans, Non-humans, and More-than-humans.”
The Academy of Mobility Humanities will co-host the 2025 Global Mobility Conference, held in collaboration with the Korea Transportation Safety Authority Mobility Support Center, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, and the Korean Transport Society, on September 9–10 at the Westin Chosun Hotel in Seoul.
The Global Mobility Conference has been held annually since 2023 to showcase South Korea’s innovative achievements and vision in advanced mobility to the world. This year marks the first time the conference, previously focused on technology and industry, will include formal sessions on humanities, addressing human experiences and cultural contexts. The Academy of Mobility Humanities at Konkuk University has been involved in planning these sessions from the very beginning.
Under the theme “Shaping the Future Together: New Possibilities Through Innovation,” this year’s conference will bring together global companies, government agencies, and academic experts to discuss ways to reduce mobility gaps across countries, regions, and generations, and to create a future mobility environment accessible to all.
Several researchers from the Academy of Mobility Humanities will participate in the conference. On September 9, Professor Mimi Sheller, a distinguished advisor, will deliver the keynote speech. On September 10, the session “Humanities & Mobility” will feature presentations by Professor Peter Adey, HK Professor Taehee Kim, and HK Research Professor Donghyun Koo. This session will analyze mobility issues from a humanities perspective and propose ways to maintain human-centered values and socio-cultural responsibilities amidst rapid technological innovation.
The 2025 Global Mobility Conference is open to anyone via pre-registration. Those wishing to attend can register through the conference website below: ・Conference Website: https://mobility.or.kr/
