BIG, with funding from the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Commission, offers a series of intensive summer institutes where participants develop comprehensive understandings of borders in the 21 century by learning from top academics and policy experts.
Learn MoreThe Borders in Globalization Books series (BIG_Books) provides a forum for in-depth scholarly explorations of borders in the 21st century. We publish academic works in the Humanities and Social Sciences that explore various aspects of borders in an increasingly globalized world.
Learn MoreBorders in Globalization Review (BIG_Review) provides a forum for academic and creative explorations of borders in the 21st century. BIG_Review publishes scholarship (academic articles, essays, research notes, book reviews, and film reviews) as well as artwork (photography, painting, poetry, short stories, and more).
Learn MoreEach month the BIG_Podcasts program welcomes a new border expert to discuss their work and to reflect on the role of the border. We call on scholars from a variety of disciplines to try to decipher the complexity of borders. New episodes are released on the first Monday of each month.
Learn MoreWe are delighted to have student fellows and researchers from around the world! As a way to highlight the work done by our student cohort, each month we will release a new ‘student spotlight’ featuring a different student researcher. Learn about who they are and the research they do for the BIG program!
Learn MoreIn an effort to highlight and track the work of our people, we try to record as many of our public events as possible. Here you will find recordings of public symposiums, conference presentations, expert interviews, and so much more dating back to the start of the Borders in Globalization program in 2013.
Learn MoreThe increased prominence of disputes about how to manage, police, and secure borders reveals that the territoriality of borders is under tremendous pressure. This research initiative creates a world-wide network of policy actors and academics to study these challenges and their significant and emerging implications for border policy. We co-produce comparative and policy relevant research with scholars and cross-border organizations worldwide. In addition to our 13 formal university partners, this network brings together international and transnational organizations, regional and local organizations, Indigenous led organizations, academic publishers, and a media outlet.
