We are interested in the possibilities of sharing borders; of thinking through the ways in which borders rub up against each other, intersect, overlap, blur, can be crossed, and disappear. This might include, but is not exclusive to, borders of the spatial, physical, cultural, social, historical, and the intellectual.
