This present and the next issue of Journal of Borneo-Kalimantan’s theme is mobility of and on the island of Borneo. The theme reflects a perspective commonly used to identify and offer insights into patterns of transformation and social change amongst the societies of Borneo-Kalimantan. As a theme, it addresses movements and circulation of people, cultures, goods, language, images, information, labour, objects, organism and ideas across the island. Volume 6, Issue 2 (2020) presents articles that provide analysis of some of the crucial aspects of mobility that reflect societal experiences, social structures, organizations and transformations at different levels in Borneo-Kalimantan.
