David Bissell is a Lecturer in Human Geography at the University of Brighton, UK. He is interested in exploring the relationship between bodies, mobilities, knowledges and technologies. His current research focuses on narrating and coming to understand some of the various practices and shifting subjectivities engendered through the experience of contemporary mobilities by using ethnographic, multi-sensuous and affective methodologies. David’s theoretical imperatives fold through practice-based ontologies and draw on affective and non-representational theories. He is the author of numerous papers and chapters on issues around bodies, mobilities and subjectivity.
