Haifa AlArasi is a Research Associate in the Transport Studies Unit within the School of Geography and the Environment. Her research engages with the everyday as a critical site through which constructions of childhoods, mobilities, and the urban are broadened and reimagined. Thinking with careful and situated methodologies, her work traces how marginalized bodies, experiences, and spaces are continually reproduced, negotiated, and reconfigured with the everyday.

As part of an ESRC-funded project, Haifa’s current research focuses on the mobilities of children with non-visible disabilities. The project foregrounds the daily hidden labour of families and their children, aiming to reshape the assumptions and priorities that underpin active travel policies.
