Borders Talk: Dots, Dashes & the Stories They Tell (trailer)

Send us a MessageHosted by Border Studies academics Zalfa Feghali and Gillian Roberts, this podcast will explore border depictions and encounters in our contemporary world. Zalfa, Gillian, and their guests will discuss borders, their cultural manifestations, and their implications. In their aim to make the academic field of border studies accessible to non-specialist audiences, they will ask questions like: “What do borders look like?”, “How are borders used and mobilised in our everyday lives?”, and “What different borders can be known?” To answer these questions, they will consider current events, personal stories, and specialist academic texts, as well as exploring and reflecting on “classic” texts of Border Studies.The material in this podcast is for informational purposes only.
