Global Borders . GLOBL 126

Examines the social, cultural, political, and economic processes of borders and their global implications. Students will explore the relationships that link border regimes with colonialism, imperialism, racial capitalism, and other structural systems attendant to crises, moral panics, and nationalism. The course also investigates how Indigenous notions of borderlands, political calls for border abolition, and the emergence of cross-border cultural and social movements provide alternatives to dominant ideas of border regimes. Focusing on the US-Mexico border, students will understand the implications of borders for our world today in the midst of climate change, capitalist crises, mass migration, and rising far right nationalism.
