It is to move across space, from one neighborhood to another, perhaps, or across social categories of well-being, such as from the working poor to the middle-class. The challenges to mobility in Atlanta\u2014whether physical or social\u2014remain a key concern for residents, policymakers, and scholars from a variety of disciplines. As the city flourishes in some places for some people, it declines in other places, where residents suffer. At once Atlanta is boundless in its hope and tragic in its despair.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p1\u0022\u003EFor the fourth annual Atlanta Studies Symposium, to be held at Georgia State University on May 11th, 2016, we invite scholars and activists to learn from and act on research about Atlanta\u2019s mobilities, including that of its central city and the broader metropolitan area. We seek panels and paper presentations that address the challenges and opportunities for Atlanta\u2019s past, present, and future mobilities.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p1\u0022\u003EWe welcome fully-constituted panels of three to five paper presentations, which should include a cover letter indicating the focus of the panel and its participants.
