ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the productive possibilities presented when perspectives on the materialites and mobilities of education are brought together when we give due attention to both materiality and mobility, and ask probing questions about their mutually constitutive nature. It draws upon examples from the literature where the materialities of educational practices and their attendant mobilities, or the materiality of educational mobilities, are foreground. The chapter identifies some key examples that would seem to be particularly salient when discussing the relationship between mobilities, materialities and education. These are: travel to school, waiting and other practices, landscapes and displacements. Discussion of these is then followed by some thoughts on the broader political-economic processes underpinning and overlying these largely theoretical concerns. Guidelines for walking buses include requirements that children are 'orderly' and 'well-behaved'.
