During the breaks of our symposium “Bridging the Regions and Disciplines in Border Studies”, we approached different scholars, and asked them 3 questions on what #borders and #border studies mean to them. Find out their answers in the video below: youtu.be/staVl_svzvE


A solid issue, I promise 😉


So happy this is happening -- my favourite conference, by some margin. Well done Tina and all the convenors!

The 8th Conference of the Asian Borderlands Research Network, Negotiating Asian Borders: Actors, Displacements, Multiplicities, Sovereignties, will take place at Yarmouk University, Irbid, Jordan, from 2 to 5 September 2025. CFP and more info here: iias.asia/events/negotia…
