Comparative Border Studies

Comparative Border Studies Comparative Border Studies in the School of Transborder Studies (STS) is a unique research initiativ

Consistent with STS’s goal of making the border a focal point of intellectual inquiry, the initiative will infuse categories of social science and humanities research with a consciousness about how borders and boundary crossings have shaped historical and contemporary human experience throughout the world. The heart of Comparative Border Studies will be the events and colloquia series that explore

a range of topics that include, but are not limited to: security,immigration, wealth creation and economic development, trade relations, health and environmental management, cultural production, and bicultural/binational education. We wish to share our knowledge of the U.S.-Mexican borderlands while learning from those working on borders elsewhere. The goal of Comparative Border Studies is to facilitate productive exchanges that welcome all political views and expand our understanding of the challenges facing societies and nations divided by borders. To facilitate this work, Comparative Border Studies offers funding opportunities in the form of 1) research grants for ASU faculty, and 2) year-long fellowships for non-ASU scholars.
