Elastic Borders: Rethinking the Borders

Today’s episode will focus on a compelling interdisciplinary
research initiative titled Elastic Borders: Rethinking the
Borders of the 21st Century. This project caught my attention due
to its unique approach in examining borders not as fixed lines
but as elastic and dynamic constructs. It explores various
dimensions—ranging from physical and human borders associated
with migration, to the social and political boundaries within the
European Union. Using examples from Spain, Tunisia, and Greece,
we’ll investigate how this concept of elasticity in border
regions impacts people from diverse backgrounds and walks of
life, often with serious consequences.
