Environmental Mobility History in the Making

Carson Fellow Gijs Mom describes his work on the automobile, which
he sees as a vehicle for understanding how people in the early
twentieth century both perceived and conquered nature. Mom relies
on sources such as literature and films to determine how the car
was driven and how driving changed the way that people experienced
nature. Gijs Mom is a historian of technology, teaching and
researching at Eindhoven University of Technology as Program
Director for Mobility History.
