Causes and Consequences of Spatial Mobility Over the Life CourseTuesday, June 18 | 10:00–13:00 | CED (Sala Àngels Torrents) & Zoom Organizers: Claudia Brunori, Juste Lekstyte, and Alon Pertzikovitz We are delighted to invite you to the upcoming workshop Causes and Consequences of Spatial Mobility Over the Life Course, organized by the LIFELONGMOVE team. Research increasingly shows that to fully understand patterns of spatial mobility, we need a life course perspective—one that draws on longitudinal data and methods.

Comparative Population Studies welcomes submissions to the 2026 special issue Migration Trajectories Across the Life Course, guest edited by Sergi Vidal (Autonomous University of Barcelona), Aude Bernard (University of Queensland), and Riccardo Valente (Autonomous University of Barcelona). The proposed special issue aims to leverage a trajectory-based approach that fully accounts for the multi-dimensional nature of migration across time and space, providing deeper insights into diverse migration trajectory patterns and their long-term individual and societal implications.
