Hitchhiking and Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women: A Critical Discourse Analysis of Billboards on the Highway of Tears

Argues that because hitchhiking is characterized as "bad mobility" it supports the idea that Indigenous women are willing, available and blame-worthy victims. Further argues that morality has become entangled with mobility in terms of responses that attempt to stop the activity.
