A researchers team from the University of Genoa and Parma sailed aboard the Tanimar to connect with the main nodes of mobility and understand the social transformations of the area.

In the frame of the MOBS project (Mobilities, solidarities and imaginaries across the borders), a team of researchers from the University of Genoa and Parma will crisscross the Mediterranean sailing aboard the Tanimar to connect with the principal nodes of mobility, to understand social imaginaries and transformations across this space – between generations, between rural and urban space, between centre and periphery, in the forms of work and in global production and supply chains – bearing witness to the conflicts and forms of solidarity in this area.
Their journey starts in Messina and then reaches Sfax: two days of meetings with scholars and activists from both sides of the Mediterranean will take place in both places.
