• Registration open for the lecture series by UniGR-Center for Border Studies: "Border Realities. Transformation of the border and new conceptual challenges"

    Public interdisciplinary Online Lecture Series 2022/2023 organized by the UniGR-Center for Border Studies (University of Luxembourg) and the Centre for Regional and Borderlands Studies (University of Wrocław)

    Border Realities. Transformation of the border and new conceptual challenges
    For the past two decades, a resurgence of borders has been observed. On the one hand, this is shown by the remarkable increase in border controls, border walls and fortified border installations. On the other hand, however, it shows above all the progressive proliferation or multiplication of borders. The online lecture aims to discuss the transformation of the border by means of empirical case studies as well as conceptual issues. International border researchers are invited to relate their own research and reflection results to the recent resurgence of borders.
