On Just Movement

JUSMOVE’s general scientific objectives were to build a new conceptual context,within which we both engage with salient moral reasoning,such as ethical considerations on human movement,as well as empirically assess the scope of movement within the contemporary technological context in which every mover(just as virtually any person who does not move and has customary access to digital devises and internet) leaves a digital footprint and has their data recorded and used by third parties.Within this context,JUSMOVE sets new grounds for a theory of movement,and widely disseminates its results beyond academia.The project proposed to and achieved to jointly invetigating the use of ‘big data’ in the contemporary age of digitalization,within the context of human movement,and tackled salient ethical concerns that derrives from it.JUSMOVE’s findings first highlights the need of awereness raising of the present‘dataified’world to all users of digital services (either they move or not) alongside problematising policy interventions affecting the most socially disadvantaged groups,to address the new ways in which gendered or more broadly intersectionally disadvanged groups risk further disempowerment and marginalisation (see Turculet 2023) in the age of the ‘technological revolution’;ii) developing more context-specific policy interventions and considering the interplay between all intersectionally salient aspects,such as the social position of the individuals and communities,to tackle the persistent social and gender inequalities affecting those on the move;in this sense,the main recommendation made by JUSMOVE is that research on human movement should be done at the level of sectors or industries:for instance,an IT professional moving and acquiring employment (and otherwise) rights elsewhere,will experience different kind of chellenges from say another moving withing the academic sector,an economic labor sector,within which many highly professionalised move,forced by extreme precarity and in the endemic situation of virtually lacking permanent employment positions affecting a growing number of academics (see Turculet 2022) in all stages of their careers;iii) acknowledging the intersectional configuration (i.e. the intertwined social and gender inequalities) of what is termed by many as hypermobility,including during the pandemic (eg periods in which most human movement was severily restricted) showcases the importance of further empirically and ethically investigating (see Turculet 2020) and iv)promoting equity-based and context-sensitive policies and interventions to prevent that movement takes place out of force or dire need is desirable.
