The UniGR-CBS is very pleased to invite you to the 5th edition of the interdisciplinary online lecture series « Border Realities ».

The new edition is co-organized and chaired by Anne-Laure Amilhat Szary (Pacte, CNRS, Université Grenoble Alpes) and Lola Aubry (UniGR-CBS, University of Luxembourg), and explores border realities beyond the nature-culture binary.

The lecture series will examine how the dissolution of the grand divide between nature and culture, alongside with questioning anthropocentrism in the humanities and social sciences, unveils new perspectives for studying borders and bordering as a natural-cultural phenomena.

The international speakers will address:
◾ Natural borders and the naturalization of borders
◾ The roles of nonhumans in bordering processes
◾ Posthuman approaches to borders
◾ The connection and difference between biological and political borders
◾ Bordering and climate change
◾ Borders and nature conservation

The 2024/2025 edition of « Border Realities » is organized and chaired by Lola Aubry (UniGR-CBS, University of Luxembourg) and Anne-Laure Amilhat-Szary (Pacte, CNRS, Université Grenoble Alpes).

The online UniGR-CBS lecture series hashtag Border Realities is open to join and aimed at researchers, students, and the interested public.

The first lecture takes place on the 15th October 2024 and deals with Reading the Mediterranean Border through Racial Capitalism (Timothy Raeymaekers, University of Bologna).
