Mobility & Humanities (MoHu) Centre for Advanced Studies
The Department of Historical and Geographic Sciences and the Ancient World (DiSSGeA) at the University of Padova hosts the MoHu Centre, which develops interdisciplinary research about mobilities in past and present societies. Drawing from a rich and unique mix of disciplines, the MoHu Centre aims to contribute original work to an emerging area of interest that is increasingly examined by other research hubs worldwide.
MoHu works on 5 main mobilities research ‘Nodes’: People, Objects, Ideas, Texts and Theories & Methods
Projects
Explore the research projects developed by faculty members and early career scholars affiliated with the Department of Historical and Geographic Sciences and the Ancient World.

Master Degree in Mobility Studies
Mobility shapes our world. Migration, globalisation, the circulation of cultural heritage, urban movement, tourism are transforming societies across space and have defined societies across time. The Master’s degree in Mobility Studies of the University of Padua offers a distinctive interdisciplinary programme that brings together geographical and historical perspectives and the social sciences. In a lively international environment, students learn to analyse the many forms of mobility that define contemporary and past societies, combining critical thinking with quantitative, qualitative and creative research methods.
