Description

What is a border? How do lines, real or imaginary, bring us together or divide us? What happens to those who don’t fit comfortably on one side or the other, but rather inhabit the space of the border itself? This class will examine how boundaries–racial, ethnic, linguistic, socioeconomic, scientific, sexual, and otherwise–are constructed, maintained, crossed, challenged, and lived within. Not repeatable for credit.
