Professor Tim Schwanen

Tim is Director of the Transport Studies Unit, Professor of Transport Geography in the School of Geography and the Environment, and also a Supernumerary Fellow at St Anne's College. He joined the Transport Studies Unit (TSU) in March 2009 and became Director in September 2015.

Tim is one of the editors of Environment and Planning F: Philosophy, Theory, Models, Methods and Practice, the youngest addition to the E&P family, and he serves on the editorial advisory boards of five journals focused on transport and mobility. Since September 2021 he has been a Fellow of the Academy for Social Sciences, the UK's national academy for academics, learned societies and practitioners in the social sciences.

Tim obtained his PhD from the Department of Human Geography and Planning of Utrecht University, The Netherlands in 2003 (cum laude), after which he worked as a post-doctoral researcher and Lecturer in Urban Geography at the same university. Tim joined the University of Oxford in March 2009, first as a Research Fellow at the TSU and later as Departmental Lecturer in Transport Studies and Human Geography. He has fulfilled the TSU Director role since September 2015 and was the Fellow in Geography at St Anne's College in 2015-2021. 

Tim was a Visiting Professor in Human Geography at the School of Business, Economics and Law of the University of Gothenburg in 2016-2019, and held a Francqui Chair at the Faculty of Sciences in Ghent University in 2022.

Tim is a member of the SoGE Technological Natures: Materialities, mobilities, politics research cluster.

Tim's research concentrates on the geographies of the everyday mobilities of people, goods and information. It is international in outlook, interdisciplinary in scope, informed by the thinking in various sub-disciplines within Geography, and organised around five more general concerns:

• Rapid change and just low-carbon transformations in urban mobilities - technological innovation, digitisation, urbanisation, governance, behaviour change, different forms of justice;
• Social and spatial inequality - in relation to actual and potential mobilities, urban informalities, and the health implications of mobility;
• Governance of change in transport, including the changing roles and capabilities of different government actors, private businesses, NGOs and citizens;
• Well-being - conceptualisations, politics, and relationships with mobility and place;
• Philosophy of transport and mobility - history of thought and praxis, new concepts and modes of thinking.

Tim’s position is focused on research and administration. He gives only a few lectures per year in the Final Honour School (FHS) in Geography, as well as the Nature, Society and Environmental Governance (NSEG) MSc programme.

He teaches on all the short courses of TSU's 'Global Challenges in Transport' professional education programme.

Tim regularly gives key notes and invited talks at conferences and departments, including the 27th International Conference of the Hong Kong Society for Transportation Studies in December 2023 in Hong Kong.

He was the editor-in-chief of Journal of Transport Geography in 2013-2015 and currently serves on the editorial advisory boards of academic journals: Applied Mobilities, Journal of Transport Geography, Transportation, Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment, and Travel Behaviour and Society.

Tim is one of the Fellows of the KiM Netherlands Institute for Transport Policy Analysis.
