Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences
Border regions bring together two seemingly opposing concepts: the definition of dividing line and the looseness of an undefined area. They condense meanings of confrontation and encounter, of division and exchange, of mobility and rigidity. This course will examine studies on border regions, from across the globe since 1750. We will read together works epistemologies of borders as they intersect with nation-making, imperialism, resistance, and the environment.
