DESCRIPTION:Manfred Max Bergman\nThis presentation treats space and mobili
 ty as inseparable\, where space is produced through movement\, coordinatio
 n\, and pause\, while mobility is always spatially formatted by routes\, n
 odes\, and boundaries. Their intersection is therefore not an overlap but 
 a relational field in which placement and movement continuously reify one 
 another. This perspective invites complex mixed methods approaches based o
 n methodological mapping across different forms of evidence\, which can sh
 ow how movements cluster or stretch\, while narrative interviews\, partici
 patory mapping\, and field observation can uncover how actors interpret ro
 utes\, obstacles\, and anchors in everyday life. The aim is not merely con
 ventional triangulation\, but conceptual integration: Using different meth
 ods to move between patterns in systems and interpretation of experience. 
 Mixed methods research can theorize space-mobility while also exploring ho
 w they are experienced\, governed\, and contested.\n \nManfred Max Bergma
 n is Chair of Social Research and Methodology at the University of Basel a
 nd Director of the Social Transitions Research Group. He works on methodol
 ogical innovations to the study of sustainability transitions\, inequality
 \, health\, corporate responsibility\, and social change\, with particular
  expertise in mixed methods research and case study design. He has contrib
 uted to scholarship on mobility\, inequality\, and public space through in
 ternational comparative and interdisciplinary projects\, and previously se
 rved as Editor in Chief of the Journal of Mixed Methods Research. His curr
 ent international engagements include service on the Swiss National Scienc
 e Foundation’s Indo-Swiss Joint Scientific Board\, collaboration with IC
 SSR in India on an innovative research methods training programme\, and a 
 visiting professorship at NUS in Singapore focused on implementation scien
 ce and transdisciplinary research.
