Call for Papers

2019 Annual Conference

April 24-27, 2019, San Diego, California

The Association for Borderlands Studies invites proposals for individual papers and complete panels related to the study of borders:

The organizing theme for the 2019 annual conference is “BORDERS HERE, THERE, EVERYWHERE” - these are non-contiguous borders such as airports, seaports, but also logistics platforms and transportation networks that straddle past national physical boundaries, state and provincial boundary lines whether they are territorial or even legal/regulatory limits, even sometimes virtual; they are connecting the local with the global nexus; Some of them are a-territorial in nature (an exception in the past – the new norm today),  and often, they are superimposing themselves onto traditional territorial borders, which remain prominent but are at the same time profoundly transformed. These affect the flows of goods, and also human mobility occasionally in murderous ways. They are here, there, and possibly, everywhere, and can be found in the middle of cities miles away from international boundary lines.

Partnership with COLEF, Mexico:

The Association of Borderlands Studies and El Colegio de la Frontera Norte, a CONACYT research center specialized in border studies, are pleased to announce their partnership on the 2019 WSSA/ABS annual meeting. Panels will be held at COLEF campus in San Antonio del Mar (Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico) on Saturday 27th .

•         Title of presentation;

•         Key words

•         Name and affiliation, and mailing address, telephone number and email address of all authors

•         An abstract not to exceed 250 words

 Colóquio “Fronteiras nas Américas" 11 a 13 de junho de 2019 - Grenoble - França

Agosto - Noviembre de 2018

    El objeto de la cátedra de fronteras del IMANI es profundizar y ampliar el conocimiento local y regional de la Amazonia a través de la identificación, análisis y discusión de las problemáticas fronterizas, en sus conexidades con el convulsionado y cambiante panorama político y económico global reflejado en otros ámbitos fronterizos, particularmente las que se han venido presentando, en las últimas dos décadas, a partir de las complejas y asimétricas relaciones entre Norte y Suramérica o entre Europa, África y el Medio Oriente. Complementariamente, se busca proveer información actualizada y relevante, así como instrumentos conceptuales que promuevan la capacidad local y regional, personal e institucional, para interpretar y participar en la resolución de las problemáticas relacionadas con el medio fronterizo en la región amazónica.
