View Call for Proposals
Professors, researchers, students, and the general public interested in Border Studies topics are invited to participate in this virtual conference.
Our goal is to generate a space for the exchange of research and socialization among those interested in issues related to global borders around the world.
We encourage papers that consider any global border as well as theoretical papers on the ideology of borders more generally and how borders and borderlands help us understand broader global issues.
This conference is a special opportunity for scholars and researchers to collaborate in a unique geographic region on the important and timely issues related to borders. We aim to encourage working together across borders to find solutions to some of the most important economic, social, and ecological problems we face today.
