The American College of Greece is inviting proposals for a 6-day workshop centered
on the multidimensional impact of the immigration crisis on borderlands, both
physical and conceptual. The workshop is funded through the Global Alliance Grand
Challenge Program 2018-19.
To succeed in its mission, the workshop will bring together social scientists whose
research focuses on Border and Migration issues; participants will be able to share their
expertise and develop a comparative analysis of borders that will enhance their
teaching and scholarship. Emphasis will be placed on place-based learning through a
2-day site visit to a Greek island at the EU border, in collaboration with local NGOs.
Each participant will make a 15-minute presentation focusing on the ways in which
the topic of Borderlands and/or Migration informs their research and teaching.
Presentations will be related (but not limited) to the following topics:
Other costs are covered through the GLAA Grand Challenge grant.
