Comparative Border Studies

Comparative Border Studies is an interdisciplinary program that examines shifting boundaries of race, class, gender, religion, and politics in a variety of international and cultural settings. It builds on the rich themes that have long animated the study of the Atlantic World and the Spanish Borderlands of North America—including multiculturalism, conquest, human agency, identity formation, and environmental diversity—but extends these approaches methodologically, theoretically, and geographically. Students have the opportunity to study with faculty whose collective expertise includes Asia, Africa, Europe, Atlantic communities, the Americas, and regions within the United States.
