RSU Researchers Lead Thematic Issue on Mobility and Relationships in Digitally Saturated Social Worlds
In July 2026, the academic journal Social Inclusion published the thematic issue 'Mobility and Relationships in Digitally Saturated Social Worlds,' academically edited by Aija Lulle and Ieva Puzo, researchers at the Faculty of Social Sciences at Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU).
The thematic issue explores how contemporary digital technologies and digital environments shape human mobility, social relationships, and the ways in which people create and maintain connections across different geographical and social spaces. It brings together research on diverse social groups and experiences of mobility, including students, refugees, highly skilled migrants, diaspora families, and transnationally mobile professionals.
